DOXA Campaign Talking Points
For Church & Small Group Presenters
Use these points as a framework, not a script. Speak from your own testimony wherever you can.
1. Start with the Reality, Not the Program
Before presenting anything about DOXA, help people feel the weight of what is actually at stake. Numbers alone do not move people — but a clear picture of a real people group can.
What to say:
• There are 2,085 unengaged people groups in the world — 202 million people with no missionaries, no churches, and often no known believers among them.
• These communities will not hear the gospel unless someone is specifically sent to them. They are not hard to reach because of geography alone. They are unreached because no one has yet gone.
• DOXA exists for one reason: to see every one of those groups engaged with the gospel by 2033 — as a gift of glory to Jesus, who is worthy of worship from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation (Revelation 7:9).
DOXA is the Greek word for glory. The name is the mission: that Jesus would receive glory from peoples who have never yet had the chance to give it.
Leader note: If you have adopted a specific people group, name them here. A real name, a real place, a real number of people changes the weight of everything that follows.
2. Ground It in Scripture
The call to pray for the unreached is not a strategy — it is a command. Jesus gives it before He gives the commission to go.
Matthew 9:37–38 — The key text:
“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Before He tells anyone to go, Jesus tells them to pray. Prayer is not preparation for the mission. Prayer is the mission. It is how God prepares hearts, opens doors, and sends laborers.
Matthew 28:19–20 — The mission statement:
DOXA’s mission flows directly from the Great Commission: “For the glory of God, to make disciples of all the nations by going, baptizing, and teaching.” This is not a parachurch initiative. It is the assignment of the whole church.
3. Explain the Three Roles Clearly
DOXA invites every church into a simple, three-part partnership. Present each one with clarity — and let people self-identify where they are being called.
Pray
• Choose an unengaged people group and sign up to receive daily prayer content for 10 minutes a day.
• The goal is 144 intercessors per people group — enough to provide 24-hour prayer coverage.
• The prayer content is Scripture-centered, Spirit-led, and includes real stories and insights from the field.
• This is not a passive commitment. A 10-minute slot, held faithfully, is a seed sown into a harvest you may not live to see.
Adopt
• Churches and networks take direct ownership of a specific people group — praying, giving, and preparing the way for gospel workers.
• Adoption moves a people group from “unclaimed” to “adopted”. Someone is now standing for them.
• DOXA provides a full Adoptee Toolkit: presentation slides, social media resources, a giving portal, and monthly strategic updates.
• There were 2,085 groups to adopt. Every “yes” changes that number. The math of the kingdom matters.
Send
• Adoption and prayer prepare the soil. Sending is what happens when laborers are raised up and mobilized to go.
• The goal is 20,000+ DOXA partnership missionaries serving among frontier peoples and the under-engaged.
• Sending begins with prayer. The two are not separate stages — they are the same obedience at different scales.
4. Connect It to the Life of Your Church
A campaign that feels external will not sustain engagement. Help people see that this is not a missions organization asking for something — it is an invitation for your church to become more fully what it was already called to be.
• This deepens your church’s prayer life with a specific, Scripture-grounded focus that extends beyond its own walls.
• It connects your congregation to the global body — joining believers around the world praying for the same peoples.
• It creates a culture of obedience, not just awareness. Awareness fades. A committed prayer slot, held week after week, forms people.
• It positions your church as a steward of a specific people group — not a consumer of missions content, but a participant in it.
Leader note: If your church leadership has already blessed this, say so. A pastor’s endorsement in the room is worth more than any statistic.
5. Address Hesitation Honestly
Some people will hesitate. Name the objections before they do — this is what walking in the light looks like in a presentation.
“I don’t know enough to pray for an unreached people group.”
You don’t need to. The daily prayer content does the work of informing and guiding. You bring the willingness; DOXA provides the framework.
“I’m already stretched thin.”
Ten minutes. That is the ask. Not a new program, not a new meeting — a daily 10-minute act of faithfulness that can happen anywhere. God does not entrust more to those who are busy. He entrusts more to those who open their hands willingly.
“Will my prayers actually matter?”
Jesus said to ask. He did not say to ask if you felt qualified, or if the outcome was visible, or if the harvest seemed close. He said ask. Every movement of the gospel begins with intercession. You may not see what your prayers produce — but God wastes nothing that is faithfully offered.
6. Make the Invitation Clear and Simple
Don’t close without a clear next step. A compelling vision with no on-ramp produces emotion, not commitment.
• Have the QR code or sign-up link visible before you finish speaking.
• Name the specific action: “Sign up for a 10-minute daily prayer slot for [People Group Name].”
• Close with prayer — not as a transition, but as the thing itself. Let the room practice right now what you are inviting them into.
• Follow up personally with key individuals. Personal invitations build what announcements cannot.
Leader note: You are not recruiting. You are stewarding an invitation to partner with God’s heart for the nations. The pressure to persuade is not yours to carry.
Champions who succeed are not the most persuasive — they are the most faithful. Steward your relationships well, keep God’s heart for the nations before your people, and trust the Holy Spirit to do what you cannot.
