The document outlines a strategy for church planting in St. Petersburg, Russia from 2004-2006. It details plans to increase the number of prayer coordinators and warriors supporting the work. Church planting efforts will focus on establishing a mother church in each of the 13 administrative districts. Metrics are provided on expected growth in the number of Baptist churches over the period. The strategy also involves reaching new people through prayer, networking, empowering nationals and personal witness. Spiritual vitality and training goals for missionaries are mentioned. An example process for working in the Kupchino region is described involving mapping, volunteer teams, record keeping and focusing efforts around places where God is at work.

10. An Example of One of our Regions: Kupchino

11. Our work is drawn out in phases with timelines for each phase’s work.

12. Volunteer Team(s) Process- 1. Apply “City Mapping” principles 2. Break down each region: (1) region, (2) micro-region (district), (3) sector(s), and blocks 3. Prioritize in “Phases”

13. Volunteer Process Volunteers are put into teams of three with an interpreter. (no more than three volunteers to a team) Each team of three is given their assignments and these items: 1. Map of whole region 2. Blow-up of each sector to be worked (apartment numbers are clearly seen on this map) 3. Each team keeps a record of their work by placing a “circle” or “x” on each apartment building completed [this map will collected on the last day the team works] 4. Each volunteer group works with the translator, not necessarily with the/a missionary 5. The missionary meets with the group before the group works for orientation and specific information for the assignment. [The teams have access to the missionary through the cell phones of the translators.] 6. When the assignment is finished there is a time for “de-briefing.” 7. Communication is maintained between the missionary and the person in charge of the team(s) as needed.

14. KEEP A LOG OF ALL WORK IN THE REGION! Find the largest map possible of your region/city Begin to mark the map: Yellow means that the sector was saturated with prayer (prayer-walked). Blue means that the sector was saturated with Christian literature, invitations, and/or street evangelism teams. Green means that this phase in the sector is completed.

15. KEEP RECORDS (1) Players— Who did what, when (dates) (2) Process— Prayer walking, Seed Sowing, or Gathering the Harvest (3) Tools— Bibles, invitations, and/or Christian literature distributed (4) Contacts— Prospects, new believers, and [times the Gospel was presented] (5) Budget— How much did it cost? Where did the funds come from?

16. We look for places where God is at work or where He has opened up a person of peace and begin work in a block within a sector. That person of peace will help us reach the entire block and we work to train a spiritual leader for a sector.
