If you could change the world, what would you do to change it? In recent months it has been reported that only 4% of churches in America have any type of evangelistic outreach, and fewer than 1% of churches have a plan for year-round evangelistic outreach necessary to change the culture of their church and community.
Vision is the ability to see the future and passionately direct others towards it. If the Church in America does not change its focus, our community and world will be without hope. We have been called by God to bring the light of hope wherever we go.
“… Go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges and urge anyone you find to come, so that the house will be full.”
—Luke 14:23b (NLT)
In this collection of talks, we will focus on a Hope Initiative designed to impact our community. This is both an individual and a corporate effort to invest in and invite people to meet Jesus Here. We can accomplish this by:
