A visual means of showing people that are connected to you, and the people who are connected to them — showing the lines of influence that flow out from disciples. This begins as a prayer guide, but of course a stimulus for sharing the gospel and training disciples.

Oikos is the Greek word for house, household, or sphere of influence. The phrase "network map" can be used for people who are unfamiliar with what oikos meansInstructions:

Write your name in the box in the center. In the larger circles, write the names of 10 people that you know (it is helpful to list both believers and non-believers, as your influence involves evangelism as well as training).

In the smaller circles, write the names of people that they know. This will likely require you to talk with each of your contacts in the larger circles.
