The Interactive Task Force (ITF) is using modern information and technology tools to form a "nervous system" in the Body of Christ. This enables cooperation, timely intercession and coordination of efforts directed at  fulfilling the Great Commission.

Communication is the key to: allow ministries and Christian leaders to work together to reach the goal of "A church for every people and the Gospel for every person."

The Interactive Task Force of the AD2000 & Beyond Movement is committed to that goal

Background

The AD2000 Interactive Task Force emerged from a growing understanding among key leaders of unreached-peoples mission networks and practical strategies around the world. They saw their networks growing, but felt powerless, unable to accomplish the vision God has given them.  This was all due to one huge obstacle...   "How," they asked, "can we possibly stay in touch with each other around the world, let alone with our own networks?"

God has provided an answer to this problem. Modern information and technology tools have the potential, and are quickly becoming, the invisible nervous system of the Body of Christ. Yes, these tools are expensive, they are not easy for everyone to use, and they don't feel "comfortable" for many Christians—especially older leaders. (Most people think of e-mail messaging as "typing on a computer"... yet few people think deeply about their telephone while making a call to someone!)

Thus was born the Interactive Task Force: a network of people around the world focused on providing technical and non-technical resources to enable effective communication between key global mission leaders and with other supporting networks. This extends from electronic mail, to database sharing, World-Wide Web publishing, and lots more.

We are not simply encouraging use of these tools for their own sake, but rather as a component of accomplishing a particular task  Jesus commanded us to do: ensure the Gospel is effectively shared with every person in the world the result being a self-replicating group of Christ's followers (a "church") will be planted among every people group on earth.

Our true focus is not on tools, but on relationships. We are encouraging relationships within the Body–ultimately to bring people into relationship with Christ.

Overview of Relationships

The Interactive Task Force partners with industry, ministry, church organizations and individuals to help accomplish the goals described above. Specifically, in each nation and region of the world, we want to:

• Discover and encourage strengthening and cooperation between resources within a region;
• Encourage resources within the region to provide appropriate help to people in other areas of the world;
• Encourage outside resources to provide needed assistance to the region.
