Below are answers to common questions pastors and church leaders have about implementing God's Plan for Sharing in their congregations. If you need further guidance, explore the Resources section for preparation guides and training materials.

• What is God's Plan for Sharing?

  GPS is a two-part strategic framework that helps Southern Baptist churches align their evangelism ministry around four biblical components — Prayer, Equipping, Sowing, and Harvesting — and participate in coordinated bi-annual evangelism campaigns to reach every lost person in their community.

• What are the four biblical components of GPS?

  The four components are Praying (interceding for every lost person), Equipping (training every believer as a witness), Sowing (increasing gospel presentations), and Harvesting (celebrating every salvation response and integrating new believers into the church).

• How do the bi-annual campaigns work?

  Churches across North America coordinate around a shared theme and timeframe to focus their evangelistic efforts. Past campaigns included "Hope. Find it Here." (2012–2013), "Find It Here" (2014–2015), and "Peace: Find it Here" (2016–2017). Each campaign provides promotional resources, event templates, and preparation guides.

• Who is GPS designed for?

  GPS is designed for Southern Baptist pastors, church leaders, and believers who want a structured, biblically grounded approach to evangelism. Resources are suitable for churches of all sizes.

• Where can I find preparation guides?

  Pastor/Church Preparation Guides are available in both English and Spanish PDF formats through the Resources page. Additional training videos and teaching presentations are also provided.

• What event planning tools are available?

  Churches can use the "Plan-it" online calendar application for event management and access a national event calendar. Templates exist for block parties, area crusades, revivals, sporting events, arts events, and other attractional outreach formats.

• How is GPS supported?

  God's Plan for Sharing is a ministry of the North American Mission Board, supported by the Cooperative Program and the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering®.
