1. Evangelize the extremely lost. This is the absolute core of XME: To reach the isolated and hard-to-reach around the world who have never heard the gospel. We want to go further than the most remote national church or farthest-flung missionary. By the way, Jesus only saves extremely lost individuals. No one is even close to salvation without Jesus Christ.
2. Engage people in extreme missions. When we arrive on a new field, we begin our search for isolated and hard-to-reach people at the local church. Churches and missionaries usually usually know where to find these unreached souls. We engage local nationals as guides to take us to these hard-to-reach people and with God’s help, reach them for Christ.
3. Equip and train disciples to be extreme for Christ. Although we reach into remote and isolated areas globally, we fully expect the power of the gospel to do it’s work. We fully expect people to trust Christ. No matter how remote or hard-to-reach, our plan is to equip and train disciples through a link back to the closest national church. If we are able to find hard-to-reach people and present them with the gospel, we will do what is possible to equip and train those that have accepted Christ. This brings us to the next point.
4. Encourage others through extreme service. This is where we encourage the members of national churches and missionaries to continue ministering to those hard-to-reach individuals who have been won to Christ. Whether it be just a few individuals in a remote place, or even just one person who trusted Christ in a far off village, if they have put their faith in Jesus Christ we must find a way to continue serving them.
5. Empower people to extreme excellence. XME’s ministry empowers people to extreme excellence by opening up new fields of service and stretching believers to go further than they ever thought possible with the gospel. Jesus said, “I will build my church,” so by faith, we seek to be part of that His plan for the glory of God. We fully expect God to build His church where human logic and human will find it impossible.
