Five-level scale measuring the intensity and quality of gospel-oriented activity relative to the population at a given engagement phase. Strength is not a measurement of a team's quality or impact, but an indicator of gospel-oriented activity relative to the population. From the Phases of Engagement Toolkit (April 2026) by Frontiers, IMB, Joshua Project, Engage Network, Vision 5:9, and Accelerate.
