The document discusses the "Fire Team approach" which involves taking the gospel message outside of regular church meetings directly to target audiences. It recommends targeting locations like workplaces, government assemblies, universities, and the marketplace. Fire Team members are encouraged to share their testimonies and use the "Voice tool" to share their story. The document provides guidance on forming Fire Teams, obtaining necessary approvals, and conducting effective short Fire Team meetings of 30 minutes or less at locations. The goal is to share the gospel through testimony and prayer outside of regular church settings.

• Demos even gave us the strategy: Send the men
of the chapters out to the people! Get the
people saved, delivered, healed outside the
chapter. Then bring them into the chapter to be
transformed into fishers of men. Don’t rely on
bringing the people into our meetings to get the
job done.
• Demos’ last words to the fellowship: “Break the
mold and set men free!” Demos was referring to
the mold of chapters that just hold meetings where
no unsaved come and setting our members free to
go take Jesus into the marketplace.
