The 345 Spark Mission Challenge
The challenge is to focus on 3 people in 4 networks and do 5 things for them.
1. 3 From Your Family Network – Your extended family aunt, uncles, cousins, brothers, and sisters.
2. 3 From Your Vocational Network – The people you work with, your B2B Network
3. 3 From Your Neighbor Network – Those who live close to you. Where you shop, eat out, fill up your gas tank
4. 3 From Your Relational Network – Other non Christian friends you have through things like recreation, the gym, disc golf, cycling with
And with those 12 people in mind start aiming toward these five tasks.
1. Pray for them. Ask them how you can pray for them.
2. Serve them in a way that speaks to their needs.
3. Give literature to them. We have great resources in the church for this in print, video, audio, and digital. The desire of Ages, Steps to Christ, Bible studies, Amazing Facts, It Is Written.
4. Invite them to church or an outreach event.
5. Speak the gospel to them. Share how Christ has changed your life and how they can experience the transformation of the Gospel in their own life.
Why are we doing this? To spark the reformation or a revolution in the church that will hasten the second coming of Jesus
Ellen White was very clear in saying that Jesus has delayed His coming and that by holy living and diligent witnessing we can hasten it.
In Christ’s Object Lessons, we find the oft-quoted statement “When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own.
“It is the privilege of every Christian not only to look for but to hasten the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:12, margin). Were all who profess His name bearing fruit to His glory, how quickly the whole world would be sown with the seed of the gospel. Quickly the last great harvest would be ripened, and Christ would come to gather the precious grain.” 9
Along similar lines, Ellen White said that if the young of the church were a well-trained army, the Lord would come soon; and that when the members do their work at home and abroad, the world will soon be warned and the Lord will come.
