One of the (many) things I learnt as co-leader of the mission team was how to keep track of information. As someone said to me, "spreadsheets are your best friend."
What I'll attempt to do in this little article is give you some idea of the way we went about organising the whole mission. It was the first time either Sam (co-leader) or I (Ed) had ever headed up a mission team, so we made plenty of mistakes. Hopefully you can learn from some of these, as we did.
Dominic has asked me to include links to PDFs of lots of word documents and excel spreadsheets (with personal info removed) to show some concrete examples of how things were planned.

After Mission
One of the most important things to do after running a mission like this is to follow up the people who have been reached with the Gospel in some way. Having had a taste of what relationship with God is like, they need to hear more from the Bible, to understand who God is and what he has done for us all in Jesus.
We believe the best thing to do is to invite them along to an Introducing God course and plead with God to bring them into relationship with himself. The other pages of BuildinGodsPeople.com are filled with effective ways of using Introducing God in your particular context.
