Your mission fieldCloser than you think.Start with one name, one prayer, one next step.
A simple rhythm for everyday mission
From a name on a page to a life touched by love.
There is no pressure to have every answer. The map simply helps you notice, pray, and take the next faithful step.
Care
Send a message, serve a need, or make space to listen.
Share
Share your testimony or a simple Gospel invitation.
Disciple

The heart
An Oikos Map helps love become specific.
Name your household
Oikos means household: the family, friends, classmates, coworkers, neighbors, and teammates already within your sphere of influence.
Pray with intention
When the names are visible, prayer becomes personal. You can notice open doors, follow up faithfully, and carry people before God by name.
See multiplication
Each person has their own relationships. A map reveals how one transformed life can become a branching movement of hope.
Why this matters
A name on your map can become an encounter.
Love on Mission says the Gospel is spreading, but the mission is still unfinished. Jesus' heart is that no one perish, and an Oikos Map helps ordinary believers turn compassion into prayer, friendship, testimony, and discipleship.
View Love on MissionEstimated unreached, according to the Love on Mission dashboard.
43.1% of all people groups are listed as unreached.
Fewer than 1 in 1,000 follow Christ in these groups.
The mission force is global, local, and multiplying.
New to Jesus?
Following Jesus starts with surrender, trust, and a new life.
Jesus is not only a teacher or moral example. He is the Son of God, the Savior who died for our sins and rose again. To follow Him means turning from sin, trusting His grace, receiving His forgiveness, and learning to live with Him as Lord.
You can begin right now: “Jesus, I believe You died and rose again. Forgive me, lead me, and make me new. I surrender my life to You.”
Simple next steps
- Talk to Jesus honestly in prayer.
- Read the Gospel of John and ask Him to reveal Himself.
- Tell a Jesus-following friend or pastor about your decision.
- Join a healthy local church and get baptized.

What is an Oikos Map?
An Oikos Map is a simple visual way to name the people in your everyday sphere of influence, such as family, friends, coworkers, classmates, and neighbors, so you can pray, care, share, and disciple intentionally.
What does the word oikos mean?
Oikos is the Greek word for household. In the New Testament it describes your extended sphere of relationships: family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and everyone God has naturally placed around your life.
Is the Oikos Map Builder free?
Yes. The Oikos Map Builder is completely free for every believer, church, youth ministry, and disciple-maker. You can create a map, save it, download it, and share the tool with others.
Is my Oikos Map private?
Yes. Your map is saved only in your own browser and is never uploaded to a server. If you copy a map link, the map travels inside the link itself so you choose exactly who sees it.
Can I download or share my Oikos Map?
Yes. You can download your Oikos Map as PNG, SVG, JSON, and a simple prayer plan text file, or copy a private map link to reopen it on another device or share it with a friend.
Can I get a daily reminder to pray for the people on my map?
Yes. In the builder, choose a time and select Add to calendar. It downloads a daily five-minute calendar event with your first five names in it, which you can open in Apple, Google or Outlook Calendar. The file is created on your device, so the names are never uploaded.
Is there a printable Oikos Map template?
Yes. A free two-page printable Oikos Map template is available as a PDF: page one is the map with circles for family, friends, work, school and neighbours, and page two is a five-person prayer and next-step plan. It is free to print and share with your church, small group or youth group.
Can I use the Oikos Map with my church or small group?
Absolutely. The tool works great for churches, small groups, youth ministries, and outreach teams. Each person can build their own map, and the templates make it easy to start in a household, campus, or workplace context.

No guilt, no pressure, no fundraising. Just encouragement, honest next steps, and the reminder that keeps all of this in proportion: one plants, another waters, God makes it grow. You are not carrying the mission — you are playing your part in it.
