Deploy Workshop

Deployment Workshop

Workshop Description:
The Deployment Workshop is the final stage in The Sent Life’s strategic journey, where all the prayer, planning, training, and preparation culminate in concrete action. In this guided session, churches move from intention to implementation—deciding together when, where, and how they will live out the mission God has revealed. Drawing from the Discovery, Development, and Discipleship stages, this workshop equips churches to take that crucial next step—whether it’s a local outreach initiative, a church-wide missional event, or an international mission trip. Participants will collaboratively finalize logistics, assign team roles, clarify missional goals, and establish support systems for the work ahead.
