What is a Lay Witness Mission
or Journey of Faith? 

It is a weekend of evangelism made up of laypersons who come to share their faith story with others.   It is lead by a coordinator who personally knows the team members who are coming or they were referred to him by another team meaber and approves by the home pastor of that person.  
 
It involves a formation of small groups in the church and local homes to share several questions?   Why is prayer important?   What do you want Christ to do in your church and in your own personal life?   Where am I in my personal walk with Christ? 
 
It serves as a model for reaching out to our friends, neighbors, relatives and colleagues and invite them into homes for fellowship and discussion.   This is done on Saturday mornings.
 
It engages the congregation in prayer ministries that become a vital part of the life of the church.

The Lay Witness Mission requires a maximum of six- to eight-month time of preparation, and mimimum of 3-4 months.   It is a weekend spiritual renewal experience, and a time of follow-up, which includes the formation of new small groups for study, prayer, and ministry.

The local church leadership is given by laypersons with the encouragement of the pastor.  Successful missions are always supported by the pastor.  If he is not supportive, maybe that church should not have a mission.

The visiting lay witness team is made up of Christian laypersons who come from many communities to lead small groups during the weekend and to share their faith stories.   The team members come at their own expense.

The weekend part of the experience is from Friday night through Sunday noon -- with the local church gathering for celebration and planning on Sunday evening for "Where Do We Go From Here?"   The weekend program includes experiences for adults, youth, and children.
