Access in Missions

In missiological terms, Access in Missions refers to how a worker gains access to the language group in which they are hoping to see a church planted. This can include overcoming geographical, linguistic, cultural, or legal barriers to reach people with the gospel. In most E3 contexts, access requires the worker to work for or operate a business of some kind with the goal of being able to live among the target language group to learn their language and ultimately plant a church among them.
