The Four "Waves" of GAP
Each GAP team working in Uruguay will use four strategies (waves) for reaching their assigned target zone along the coast. These four waves are crucial to help us achieve the goal of starting simple churches in as many neighborhoods as possible once the GAP team leaves Uruguay.
Prayer Walking – street by street prayer walking in the GAP target area. This is a crucial step to breaking through spiritual strongholds in Montevideo. Specific training will be given prior to the team’s arrival.
Scripture Distribution – door to door distribution of The Gospel of John. During this time, people’s responses will be recorded, prospects gleaned, and the gospel will be presented when people an express an interest.
Marketplace Evangelism/Distribution – this is specialized evangelism in the urban market place of the target community. This can include scripture distribution in open air markets, parks, streets, beaches, and malls. This will be specifically tailored for each location with the assistance of the host team. Some members of the team will simply distribute Scripture while others will be involved in more direct forms of evangelism.
Evangelistic Outreach Events – one or two special events for evangelism in a neutral setting in the GAP target area. This can include evangelistic films, concerts, sports tournaments, children’s festivals, and other events specifically designed by the GAP team. The gifts and abilities of the visiting team will determine what approach will be used.
