A Luke 10 Pre-Launch Planning Trip occurs after EFM has made a decision of commitment tolaunching the mission field. EFM commissions Field Study Groups to complete a Pre-Launch Planning Report, which often requires further trips to obtain the details necessary for EFM to be able to deploy missionaries to a location to launch a new field.

These are annual trips to the mission fields that EFM is committed to sending missionaries to, as part of the essential benchmarks for 2024-2028 that EFM has set in the pre-launch and early-launch stages for each field.  Teams are asked to pray for the soil and pray Luke 10:2 for the workers.  Teams will coordinate with the sponsoring regions/yearly meetings of the new EFM fields, and with the Luke 10 Exploration Trip leaders who completed discernment after trips in 2023 and 2023.  10:2 Prayer Trips will target appropriate communities for prayer walking and interceding that “the Kingdom come, and God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven” in those places.

What is a Luke 10 Exploration Trip?

Luke 10 Exploration Trips take place when teams who include the four types of participants travel together to a location in which Friends are exploring the possibility of launching a new mission field. These teams get their cues from Luke 10 and use EFM’s CAN GO Criteria to evaluate the experiences they are having on the trip. This same criteria is used when they return home and report to the Luke 10 Think Tanks, determining whether this potential site is a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” in regard to further exploration or launching a new mission field in the visited location.

Upcoming Exploration Trips

• Tanzania: Trip 3 | TBD
