Togetherness: We can accomplish more together than we can alone. This is often expressed in the phrase: "The sum is greater than the total of its parts." This is the most basic assumption upon which Equipping for the Harvest conferences operate. This is a multi-cultural team vision and effort.

Vision Driven: Our main goal is to cast the vision for church planting among the unreached and to train the participants in how to implement this strategy.

Mobilization: Our purpose is mobilization for the task of world evangelization.

UPG Focused: Our focus is church-planting among unreached people groups.

Curriculum: The materials and curriculum will be standardized. Thus, we can tailor each topic to the overall vision for the target area.

Contextualization: Equipping for the Harvest conferences will be contextualized for each situtation and culture, thus requiring translation and interpretation. National leaders may contextualize standardized materials.

International: Trainers will be international in scope. Equipping for the Harvest conferences will not be primarily taught and led by Westerners. We assume that nationals will provide major components of training.

Exclusivity: The effort is not to be all-inclusive; that is, we are not trying to be all things to all people. We have a narrow focus.

The Experienced Only: Equipping for the Harvest is not an entry level training. Those who attend must have some type of track record and Bible training prior to attending the conference.

Impartation: A key value in our work will be to impart truth, vision, and faith for the supernatural, and thus multiply the exponential impact among the unreached.

Strategic Process: We are committed to long-range, sequential process in church planting among the unreached, not a series of stand-alone events. Our goal is to be part of the larger effort of planting churches among those people groups with little or no access to the Gospel.

Integrity: We will work only with those individuals who demonstrate an established record of spiritual, relational, and financial integrity.
