EXPLORE
The first step is to go into an area to determine level of access to God's Word. What is the hindrance? Poverty? Illiteracy? Suppression? Develop key contact people and set foundations for building relationships. Assess and develop logistical components. Gather a team to go.

SAVING & STRENGTHENING
This stage will be over several trips to build relationships with the local women. The gospel will always be presented, and as women come to salvation, we will focus on giving God's Word, audibly and written, teaching how to study and apply the truths of Christ. Also during this stage, we will esteem and value the women, giving days of pampering and enjoyment as well as much needed Biblical truths. This discipling stage will begin with how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, sharing about the sacrifice of Jesus for our sins. Then, through the provision of Bible passages, the women will learn that God wants a personal and growing relationship with Him. We will help the women to go deeper and deeper into their understanding and faith in the love of God. We will provide scripture through various means: audio solar-powered Bibles, if available; translated Bibles; translated Bible studies; verbal teaching.

SENDING & SUPPORTING
This stage is to identify key women who are growing in Christ and begin to more intensely disciple and equip them to go into their communities and families. This will be more one-on-one discipleship, deepening faith and supporting as they endeavor to reach their own world to make followers of Jesus. We will determine the type of support they value and want as they are sent to share Christ's truth.
We will continue to meet to give support and encouragement. We will discuss successes and discouragements, always providing scripture and prayer as our guidance. We will jointly develop a forward plan for the local women to empower others with the Truth of Christ.
