Characteristics of Missional Coaching
A Missional Coach is one who mentors others in the core competencies believers need to be able to function as missionaries in their own communities. These core competencies include the following:
Understand Missional Theology
Missional believers view God’s act of redemption as the “heart” of scripture and the mission of God to disciple all groups of people as the central mandate of the people of God.
Develop Cultural Awareness
Missional believers are aware of specific groups of people in the community and actively take steps to develop disciples among them.
Discern Worldview Orientation
Missional believers understand that every person has a philosophy of life or LIFEVIEW which they use to make sense of their world around them – and they challenge non-Biblical lifeviews with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Embrace Biblical Diversity
Missional believers believe that people from all cultural groups are enabled to become one “in Christ” through a common bond of knowing Christ as Savior.
Embody Incarnational Principle
Missional believers follow the example of Jesus by demonstrating Christlikeness within specific groups of people found in their community in culturally appropriate ways without compromising biblical truth.
Develop Contextualization Process
Missional believers develop messages, methods, and ministries that consider the worldview, thought patterns, behavior, communication patterns, decision making processes, religious background, and historical background of specific groups of people.
Employ Reproductive Disciplemaking
Missional believers focus on multiplying believers, spiritual leaders and congregations through the intentional reproduction of disciples within specific groups of people.
Develop Indigenous Leadership
Missional believers produce servant leaders within specific groups of people through intentional mentoring processes and lay leadership development.
Create Multiplying Strategy
Missional believers implement strategic plans that multiply believers, disciplemakers and servant leaders among specific groups of people.
Utilize Kingdom Measurements
Missional believers measure success on the basis of a biblical understanding of the mission of God, the role of the church, and the multiplication of disciples, disciplemakers, and servant leaders among all groups of people.
