Challenges

Outreach has three challenges:

1. MAKING THE CONTACT: The spirit is willing but the body is too shy to initiate contact with strangers.

2. MESSAGE INTRODUCTION: How and what to share briefly to awaken further interest.

3. FOLLOW-UP/AFTER CARE: Once contact is made, how and what to follow up with?

The Obligation Basis

THE ADVENTIST OBLIGATION:>>What is our obligation to be fulfilled today?

“The Church believes its responsibility to make Christ known to the world includes a moral obligation to preserve human dignity by promoting optimal levels of physical, mental, and spiritual health.”

– Church Manual, Chapter 8, P. 66, lines 24-26. (Min. Ver., 2010)

“The Savior’s commission to the church to carry the gospel to all the world (Matt. 28:19, 6 20; Mark 16:15) meant not only preaching the gospel but ensuring the welfare of those who accepted that message. This involved shepherding as well as housing the flock and also meeting relationship problems.”- Church Manual, Chapter 3, P. 10, lines 6-9 (Min. Ver., 2010)

The Media Mandate

THE ADVENTIST MEDIA MANDATE:>>>Recap - “We must take every justifiable means of bringing the light before the people. Let the press be utilized, and let every advertising agency be employed that will call attention to the work.”—6T 36.

“Means will be devised to reach hearts. Some of the methods used in this work will be different from the methods used in the work in the past.”—Ev 105. - Church Manual, Chapter 8, Page 62, lines 4-9 (Min. Ver., 2010)

The HopeSide Portal Benefits

FEEDING THE FLOCK ONLINE:

The overall benefits of an all-in-one outreach portal:As the Adventist church grows, so are the needs to constantly update, educate, and communicate with all the members in a timely manner so that all are on the same page. Leadership and laity can interact in one place as needed! New and current member growth and enrichment can take place here. Church life integration into the portal: As churches attempt to use online tools to reach out, many are unable to have their own websites or effectively use their own sites for lack of skill, talent and time. This handicaps the local church in many ways. An easy to use all-in-one portal can alleviate many current drawbacks to doing out/inreach on/offline.

HopeSide Implementation

• Technology solutions exist that can be easily implemented and customized to the unique needs of a single-portal approach online. It maybe expensive in the beginning but it will pay for itself in the long run.

• While existing social media outlets and other sites are currently used, this is a fragmented approach with its limitations. It is far more beneficial to invest in a scalable all-in-one custom solution. Thus, HopeSide.Com can be the front & back-end support for outreach worldwide to sync and speed up efforts.

• Hopeside.com and AdventistLiving.com can be merged into just HOPESIDE.COM to save time and costs.

HopeSide Steering Board

• The HopeSide portal objectives can be outlined and the various modules implemented on a gradual basis starting with a beta version.

• All the churches and its members can be invited to participate and help with improving and growing the site for effective out/in reach, on/offline on an ongoing basis.

• A financially self-supporting model can be implemented as well.

HopeSide Strategy

• Currently, an outreach group has formed to implement the HopeSide goals stated here in bold and creative ways.

• This group meets every Saturday evening in Silver Spring, Maryland, for an hour to equip and strategize for outreach in the future.>>>>The meetings’/programming structure:

1. Every first week – Study on relationship building – loving others. 2. Every second week – Study on healthy living – loving oneself. 3. Every third week – Study on building spirituality – loving God. 4. Every fourth week – Discuss church & outreach matters. Do local outreach.

• Future churches when formed will follow a similar programming style to minister to the whole person - the HopeSide model

• Implementing HopeSide.Com now can greatly aid our efforts.
