Before starting the ministry in an area a thorough Field Survey is done so as to find out any other mission or church is functioning in that area. Being assured through the survey findings that the area is unreached, a mission field is identified at the center village, where the seekers are living most. The Vishwa Vani maintains comity with other organizations.

2. Seekers Meeting

Seekers Meetings are conducted for the keen seekers from the mission field. Seekers are called to a meeting point in the village for an evangelistic one-day retreat, at the end of which a Decision Form and Home Bible School Initiating Form shall be filled in. Seekers Meeting bridges the broadcasting to church planting.

A Field Worker and his family or two single workers are posted in a mission field, which consists of 5 near-by villages within a radius of 5 k.m. This is called a web center. As the work grows each village would become a web center with 5 other web villages and thus the ministry extends as a web and saturate the whole area.

The web center normally would become a worshipping center, where believers from other villages gather.

Systematic weekly Home Bible Schools are started in the house of a keen seeker, where other listeners gather for knowing the Gospel. Home Bible Schools are conducted in the day and time suitable for the seekers. Seekers are encouraged to witness and opportunities are given for decision. House visiting, counseling, prayer for sick and evil possession and social activities are the routine of a field worker.
