Churches have used various structures to do world evangelism. One of the primary ones has been the establishment of mission organizations and agencies that send individuals or teams to make disciples, organize churches, and provide humanitarian aid and healthcare. Denominational networks play a role, with churches within the same denomination collaborating on global missions. A church's approach to world evangelism reflects its commitment to fulfilling the Great Commission through developing sustainable church-planting movements in all nations.
