Lines of Action for EAO
We make conscious efforts to stir up the desire to know the person of Jesus. We need to develop personal skills (linguistic, information technology, good knowledge of cultures, religions and socio-political, etc…) and prepare oneself through immersion.
To promote proper understanding of the life and nature of the mission, missiological formation should be included in the program of initial formation.
To re-enforce the role of the mission animator of the provinces. Missionary animation in the provinces is done in 2 dimensions, “ad gentes” and “inter gentes”; to give special importance to “inter gentes”.
Awareness is to be given to Individuals as well as the communities the need to live a life of Christian witness to Christ so as to proclaim Christ to others.
To empower Lay family members (co-operators, volunteers, SYM members, etc…) so that they too become agents of the first proclamation.
To make proper use of our traditional settings (schools, oratories, youth-centers, etc…) as auspicious places initial proclamation and also to launch out to the new frontiers of ministry and apostolate.
