The Luke 10 Initiative is EFM’s prayerful process for discerning where God is leading us to start new mission fields. As the missions agency serving regions and yearly meetings, churches, and individuals, EFM depends on their active participation in this shared discernment.
In 2021, EFM launched a strategic Five-Year Goal that sharpened our focus on sending more workers into the harvest. While that goal has concluded, it laid the groundwork for our ongoing commitment to opening new fields with teams of workers.
According to the Joshua Project, there are still over 7,000 unreached people groups!
This is about 3.23 billion or 41.6% of the world’s population who has not heard the Good News of the gospel.
The Luke 10 Initiative brings together four types of participants who gather for Luke 10 Think Tanks to listen, pray, and discern potential locations and people groups using EFM’s CAN GO Criteria. These insights lead to Luke 10 Trips, where teams visit promising areas to build relationships and further seek God’s direction.
What is learned through the think tanks and exploration trips informs recommendations to the EFM Board about where to launch new mission fields, specifically in places where all five of EFM’s CAN GO Criteria are clearly affirmed.
