• Start by sharing what they have learned with their family and close friends.  The mission field always starts and is most effective at home.
• Decide what are the preventable diseases that are effecting their community that they feel God is calling them to address.  What will make an impact on the people around them that will point them towards Christ?  NTDs are there, but do they start with this or something else (Cholera, Jiggers, etc)?
• Fill out the Zero in on Zero grid for the diseases they chose.
• Research and talk with others about what is working and not "Before, During, and After" these diseases.  Zero in on Zero may lead to transforming discoveries in healthcare. However, solutions might already exist in the villages and need to be recognized every bit as much as more sophisticated approaches.
• Begin to implement their plans.  Regardless of their resources, there are things they can start right now!
• Share their stories, successes, and struggles with each other and with Sustainable Medical Missions staff.
• Network and talk with those they met at the conference.
• Church leaders and medical professionals work together to promote health in their communities.
• Never lose an opportunity to share about the love of Christ to those around them.

• We will put together and return to them the NTD sheets they completed at the conference.
• We will work with the local leaders to come up with sustainable solutions for the health needs in their community, particularly as it relates to NTDs.
• We will make available all of the resources and presentations to them.
• We will continue to complete the training sessions for the remaining NTDs.
• We will pray for them every day, and we (as well as our Prayer Team) will pray for specific requests when we receive them.
• We will reply quickly to all emails, Facebook messages, and phone calls we receive.
• We will search for resources and connections needed to assist them in their plans for healing in their communities.
• We will form small groups around topics of interest for anyone who wishes to explore a topic (a specific NTD, infections, cash flow management, hospital administration, role of prayer in healing, etc).
• We will be prayerful and bold in fundraising efforts in order to raise the money needed for the grants and support needed to help carry out their work.
• We will listen.  God has provided them with unique insights for their community and country.  God also is calling them to speak into the lives and communities here in the US to help bring about healing here as well.

These are the immediate next steps, but long term plans concerning future visits, continuing connections, and national/regional directors are being refined and formulated as well.
