SOS Teams have a well-developed strategy. Week 1 majors on CONTACTing people and engaging Bible Studies. Week 2 majors on CONVERT, and Week 3 majors on CONGREGATE, culminating in the first church service in the target area.
International teams join with Filipino volunteers who spend their long summer vacation (April/May) evangelizing target towns. Pioneer pastors continue the work when the volunteers return home. The church planting strategy is called "Summer of Service", using the tri-C formula Contact, Convert & Congregate.
SOS church planting is the initiative of the Philippines General Council of the Assemblies of God
