Missiology is a sweeping panorama of subjects, including biblical foundations, history, strategy, and culture. However, for those seeking to plant indigenous churches particularly in pioneering fields, applying these four principles may be all that is needed:

1. The missionary's first priority is enculturation and language fluency.

2. The missionary should NEVER be the (solo or senior) pastor of a foreign-culture church.

3. Biblical principles guide ministry and decisions, not human traditions and forms.

4. Cultural appropriateness and transferability intentionally limit means and methodologies.
