Oikos Map, explained.

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.

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.
