TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT AND PENTECOST 2018
The mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church
To make disciples of Jesus Christ among all people, communicating the everlasting gospel in the context of the Three Angels’ Messages of Revelation 14: 6 -12. Jesus when on earth and after His resurrection set up the core business of the church as evangelism (Matt 24: 14; 28: 19, 20). God has specially called the Seventh-day Adventist Church, individually, to proclaim His love message to the world.
Who are those to work?
Calls for the collaborative involvement of every member— child, youth, and adult—male and female. Ellen White rightly remarks, “The work of God in this earth can never be finished until the men and women comprising our church membership rally to the work, and unite their efforts with those of ministers and church officers. ” GW, 352.
What is TMI? It is a strategy to involve each church member/ worker/entities to be intentionally, with their talents/professions, finding a way to share the everlasting message in their community, and lead a soul to Christ
What TMI is not about? 1. “is not just about preaching 2. . It’s about what everyone can do. It’s all of us working together to make something happen. ” 3. Total departmental involvement (TDI)
