Strategy
Table 71 Story
“I in them and You in Me, that they may become perfectly one…” John 17:23
What would it look like for the body of Christ to strategically come together for the Great Commission without losing our unique, individual contributions and God-given expressions? This is what happened with Table 71.
In 2000, Billy Graham brought together leaders from around the world to strategize around finishing the Great Commission. During this meeting, God began to stir the hearts of Steve Douglass (Cru), Mark Anderson (YWAM) and others to take responsibility for the final people groups who have never heard the gospel. Together, they began to wrestle with what are the main elements needed to reach a people group. Out of this time, they committed to working together towards the goal of zero unreached people groups, and they have continued to do so for over 20 years!
Fruit Of Partnership
Since Table 71 was formed in 2000, many other ministries and organizations have partnered with this original group in the vision to reach the final people groups of the earth.
Your Table
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19-20
Discipling a nation is far too big for any ministry or organization to do alone. In this hour, we believe God is doing something special around unity. Like Table 71, the Lord is bringing diverse groups together to reach everyone in their state, city, or community.
We call these groups Great Commission Alliances. A Great Commission Alliance is a diverse group of believers who have come together to see transformation in their state, city, or community.
Great Commission Alliances include:
• Existing Finish line efforts
• Spheres of influence (family, government, economics, religion, education, media, celebration & arts)
• Minority languages and ethnic groups
• Multiple generations
• Men and women
Who Should Be At Your Table?
Brainstorm a list of Christian leaders, ministries, organizations, or networks who should be involved.
Reaching All
“Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf; for in its welfare you will have welfare” Jeremiah 29:7
Collaboration requires a commitment to common metrics. We believe the Five Finish Lines as metrics for the Great Commission provide a comprehensive way to reach every person strategically.
The Five Finish Lines include:
• Prayer for every person by name
• Compassion & Justice
• Evangelism
• Bible Engagement
• Christian Community
As your Great Commission Alliance comes together to bless your community, the Finish Lines can help you strategically plan your engagement and strengthen the existing efforts in the city by sharing resources and measuring your progress.
Bless Every Home
One of the tools we recommend for strategically reaching your community is Bless Every Home (BEH).
Bless Every Home gives your network the tools to become a Light for Christ in their neighborhood. BEH provides all the tools to get to know your neighbors by name so that you can begin to build relationships with them. You can use the dashboard to track your individual progress with each neighbor and receive optional daily reminder emails with a prayer prompt for each day.
Here To Help
“Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.” Acts 4:32
God has called us to lay down what we have for the good of the whole. What’s ours is yours in order to see every person reached.
All.America is a back-end organization that exists to support Great Commission movement leaders that want to reach everyone with the Five Finish Lines.
We serve movement leaders through:
• Prayer support
• Facilitating peer learning & networking

• Annual gatherings
If this feels like your lane, we would love to work with you toward the goal of reaching every person.

Our vision is to bring together the body of Christ to complete the Great Commission in America. God is forming Great Commission Alliances all across the nation that are focused on reaching ALL.
