Questions, answers, and what the words mean

We equip believers to make disciples who multiply. CoMission is the disciple-making platform and implementation model that makes that possible — tools, training, coaching, and the systems behind them.

CoMission teaches a Bible-centered, Spirit-dependent, obedience-oriented vision of disciple making. It teaches that God builds faith through His Word, that ordinary believers can help others know Jesus through Scripture, and that churches need practical pathways for disciple making.

No. Santa Ana, Honduras is where the field work happens and where every mission team goes, and the model is built to serve churches, ministries, and believers anywhere there are trained disciple makers.

No. CoMission exists to strengthen the church, not replace it.

Because what a church can carry differs enormously, and a figure on a page cannot know that about you. We would rather ask the right question than post a number and leave you to work out whether it applies. Every church that works with us contributes something, and none is asked to carry the whole cost. Mission teams are the one exception — that cost is published in full, because it buys the same week for everyone.

No. People give us their own information, themselves. A clinic, a school or a feeding programme never hands over a list — someone writes down their own name because they asked for prayer or said they would like to learn to study the Bible. Nobody is referred without having raised their own hand.

How we handle information →

Then it doesn't have to. A prayer request poster sits on the wall and waits: anyone who wants prayer writes it down, and nobody is asked anything. The ministry stays responsive rather than initiating, which is what lets this work in a public school, a government clinic, or anywhere else where starting a spiritual conversation would be out of bounds.

How the poster tier works →

Six things, and they fit on one page. Receive the people we refer, without pressure or judgement. Assign committed believers from your congregation to read the Bible with them, wherever they are comfortable. Use a Discovery Bible Study rather than a curriculum. Wait to invite them to church until they have come to faith and want to belong. Walk with them through baptism. And tell us if you ever need to pause. That is the whole agreement.

You are, completely. We identify a spiritual seeker, ask their permission, and pass the referral to your leadership — then we step out. We do not assign the disciple maker, run the follow-up, or arrange baptisms. That is deliberate rather than hands-off: growth that lasts happens in a local church, not in a referral system.

Because an invitation is not a witness. Inviting someone to a service is not wrong — it is simply not the same thing as telling them about Jesus, and the reflex to substitute one for the other is the habit this restrains. Someone joins a congregation once they have come to faith and want to belong, judged person by person rather than by where their group has got to. If they ask to come sooner, we never refuse; we go with them and talk it through afterwards.

No. Nothing here asks you to adopt a statement of faith, a label, or a programme — only a willingness to make disciples through Scripture. Where a real denominational difference exists, such as who may administer baptism, we flex on it rather than ask you to. What we hold to is that nobody is baptised under pressure.

A point person who receives referrals. A list of available disciple makers, matched same-gender to the person they walk with. Basic training and real accountability for them. And a leader who stays close enough to encourage them, notice when something is going wrong, and step in for pastoral care when a situation runs past what a volunteer should carry.

Reading happens same-gender, in safe or semi-public places — a church building, a home with family present, a café. No money changes hands inside a discipling relationship and no private financial help is arranged. When someone's needs run deeper than a Bible study, the disciple maker is trained to bring it to you rather than carry it alone.

Yes, for a U.S. donor. CoMission works under the umbrella of Christian Ministry Alliance — a registered 501(c)(3) since 2014 — as its fiscal sponsor. CMA receives the gift, issues the receipt and disburses the funds, and states that donations made through it are tax-deductible to the fullest amount allowed by law. The practical consequence for your finance office is that the name on the receipt is theirs rather than ours. We do not publish the EIN on the site, but we will send it, with the rest of our financial and tax details, to any church that asks.

Financial accountability →

Yes. Any church can start, and there is no minimum. Some churches fund a whole implementation, some cover one leader's training, and some pray and send people instead — all three are real partnerships, and none of them is the consolation version. What a church can carry differs enormously, which is exactly why there is no figure on this site to measure yourselves against. Tell us where you are and we will tell you plainly what is needed and what it takes.

How a conversation starts →

Yes, and we would rather you did than not. Come as a team or come on your own, sit in a study in someone's living room, and watch a Honduran lead it — it is a different thing in person than on a page. Trips have their own dates, process and cost, which the mission-teams page carries.

No. You need to be faithful, available, and willing to let the Spirit lead. The method is built so that the newest believer in the room could do it themselves next week — anything that needs an expert stops at one generation, and not stopping is the whole point.

Someone reads a short passage out loud, twice. Then the group works through four questions: what did you like or not understand, what does this teach us about God, what will we do differently because of it, and who will we tell. You close with a short prayer. It is a conversation around an open Bible, not a class with a teacher at the front.

You are not the teacher — the Bible and the Spirit are. When something sounds off, you don't correct it out of your own knowledge; you ask “where do you see that in this passage?” That question belongs to everyone in the group, not just to whoever started it, and error rarely survives repeated honest reading of the text.

Read with people of your own gender, in public or semi-public places, or in a home with others present. Don't hand over money or make personal promises. If someone has needs deeper than a Bible study — emotional, physical, financial — take it to your church leadership rather than carrying it yourself.

Tell your church leadership, and celebrate. Baptism happens when a believer finds it in Scripture and wants it — never scheduled by us, never under pressure, never talked into. Any believer may baptise, including you; where a church holds a settled conviction about who administers it, that is theirs to decide.

Once they have come to faith and want to belong — not before, and never as a strategy. Rushing it puts a seat in place of the word. If they ask to come, go with them gladly. You are never turning anyone away; you are only refusing to make attendance the price of your friendship.

Be patient and follow up respectfully. If there is still no answer, tell your church leadership so the door stays open without you carrying it alone. People come back more often than you would expect.

Yes. You don't have to attend anything weekly, and you don't have to know the answers. Wanting to find out is enough to begin with, and a great many people start exactly where you are.

No. Nobody will make church attendance the price of reading the Bible with you. If you decide you'd like to go, someone will gladly go with you — but that is your call, later, if at all.

Someone reads a short passage out loud, twice. Then you talk about four questions: what you liked or didn't understand, what it says about God, what you might do differently, and who you'd tell. It ends with a short prayer, or just a quiet moment. It's a conversation, not a class, and there is no expert in the room.

A wish to know more. A quiet place — your house, a porch, somewhere shaded. A Bible, on paper or on a phone. The four questions, which we'll give you. And a few people who want to join you. That is genuinely the whole list.

No. A decision to follow Jesus has to be yours and freely made or it is worth nothing at all. You set the pace, you ask whatever you like, and you are welcome to keep reading for as long as you are still working it out.
