Strategies to Fulfill the BAP10 Vision

To make the implementation of the BAP10 mission tangible and measurable, the BAP10 task force presents a strategy called ACTS. Each letter of the word ACTS has the following meaning:

A = Assist

“Assist” strategy  refers to a church that has the goal and capacity to pioneer and plant new churches but may need support in areas such as training, evangelism teams, and/or materials and equipment.
The BAP10 task force will provide support in the following ways:

  • Providing necessary support to churches with a goal of planting new churches in provinces where there are no Baptist churches (Priority 1)
  • Providing necessary support to churches with a goal of planting new churches even if it is in a province that already has Baptist churches (Priority 2)

C = Cooperate

” Cooperate” refers to a church that has a burden, desire, and intention to pioneer a new church but lacks readiness (e.g., personnel, budget, methods, and other resources needed for pioneering). Such a church may not be able to plant a church alone and needs to partner with another church with a similar vision or with a missionary team, as well as receive support to make the pioneering effort successful.
The BAP10 task force will:

  • Coordinate cooperation between churches that have a vision to plant new churches in provinces where there are no Baptist churches, but cannot do so alone, and one or two other churches with the same vision.
    • Coordinate cooperation between churches that have a vision to plant new churches in provinces without Baptist churches but cannot do so alone, together with the IMB (International Mission Board).

T = Task Force

Under this strategy, it refers to a special task force for evangelism and church planting, established by the central BAPTIST convention office in cooperation with local churches, regional Baptist conventions, and the IMB.
The task force will be sent to provinces where no church has yet identified a target area and where there are still no Baptist churches, to carry out evangelism and church planting.

S = Supply

“Supply” refers to the preparation or provision of various resources to support churches or teams in pioneering and planting new churches, including:

 

Personnel

  • Regional coordinators

  • Church planters and evangelism teams (Bible school students, international teams, etc.)
