The Reach team's vision statement: We will effectively and strategically share the Gospel with our Jerusalem (Mentor and Lake County), Judea (Ohio), Samaria (the USA), and the uttermost parts of our world. Below is the Reach team's first monthly progress update.

Acts 1:8 Communication Plan

Goal 1: To provide a plan whereby the people of Grace Church can be effectively informed of our ongoing local, national, and international evangelistic efforts.

We have planned a Sunday School communication effectiveness survey for April. Reach team members will be asking the Grace congregation what they know about our church's communication of outreach activities. This survey will be formally introduced to the Sunday Schools on Sunday, April 23. You can get a head start on the survey now!

Personal Evangelism Training

Goal 2: To provide Grace Church with a resource of creative ways whereby members can continue to obey the Great Commission and to equip them to do the work of evangelism.

We plan to deliver a finalized document of evangelistic ideas from the Reach team to Pastor Tim & the elders in April.

This document will provide simple and realistic evangelistic ideas for members of Grace. The goal is to see our congregation grow and diversify in their personal evangelism efforts and to implement any idea that may apply to their life situation.

Our desire is to make this document available to the congregation by June 2017.

Spiritual Reproduction

Goal 3: To see spiritual new birth grow by 20% of our current membership numbers. As it now stands, that goal is to see 80 souls saved.

As of March 27, we currently have 5 professions of faith on record for 2017.

Please contact Pastor Mike with any questions.
