Multihousing Missions Task Force
The Intercultural Institute for Contextual Ministry conducts research, creates resources and develops training for believers to reach various types of people groups. Many of those living in multihousing live in what we call "Aspiring Communities." This resoundingly diverse ethnic group represents the up-and-coming of American society. Living within easy reach of or within major metropolitan areas, this group enjoys careers in information, sales, administration, education, health and other service professions. As many as 60% of Aspiring Contemporaries are renting singles, many are career builders enjoying a middle income way in mid-tier management positions. Many others live the unique lifestyles offered by military and university dorm life. However, this group is also four times more likely to be unemployed. Ethnicity is extremely diverse, and a majority fall within the ages of 18 to 34 years. Typically residents in multihousing remain unreached with the gospel. While they are geographically close to many existing churches, they are culturally distant from most of the believers within the churches. The purpose of the Missional Multihousing Task Force is to discuss ways to foster Multihousing Missionaries (lay missionaries who engage these types of communities), develop cultural understanding of these type of communities, create materials and resources for them, design training processes, foster ongoing interaction between them in peer-to-peer learning networks, and improve their implementation as they engage multhousing communities.

Purpose of the Missional Coach Task Force
The Intercultural Institute for Contextual Ministry trains Missional Coaches to work with churches and believers to foster the development of Missional Response Teams. These teams of lay missionaries endeavor to penetrate specific unreached groups in their community. Many of these teams utilize the APEPT giftedness of the team to bring a balanced approach to reaching, discipling and multiplying believers among specific target populations.
The purpose of the Missional Coach Task Force is to discuss ways to develop new Missional Coaches, create materials and resources for them, improve their training process, foster ongoing interaction between them in peer-to-peer learning networks, and improve their implementation as they develop and work with Missional Response Teams.
There is no related travel for participants. We ask the Missional Coach Task Force participants to commit to four quarterly meetings over the next year with a time of 2 hours for each meeting via Skype. Beyond this commitment, the Task Force participants themselves may extend the sessions based on their own consensus.
Benefits for Participants on the Missional Coach Task Force
- Direct input into the design of Missional Coach training process, materials, and resources

The APEPT menu provides access to summaries about each of the 5-fold missional roles of Ephesians 4:11-12 as well as customized information about the user's missional role (based on their completed APEPT Missionality survey).
The Missionscape menu gives a spiritual barometer of the US zipcodes; potential cultural bridges, barriers and themes; and shared places, projects, and media are provided for the each zipcode that is searched. Motivations prevalent in the the US zipcode are also provided.
For each searched zip code, the Communityscape menu gives the social environments, social lifestyle groups, and social lifestyle enclaves present in the zip code; race/ethnicity, language and foreign born data; current year and 5 year projections of demographic categories; and disability data.
