A Model For Church Growth

ONE-BRING-THREE

Evangelism Ministry

Our pastor, the Rev. Dr. J. Wendell Mapson, Jr., often shares his
vision for growing our church congregation in this new millennium.
Reminding us that God has come to us in three forms (the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit), Rev Mapson says the least that each
of us should do is bring three people into the knowledge of Christ
by having them join our congregation.

This is the "One-Bring-Three" vision.

With this God-inspired vision for growth, Rev Mapson calls on us
(the congregation) to evangelize our communities, i.e., to simply
tell others about our Jesus Christ and invite them to church. The
response has been overwhelming. We are expecting even great-
er things in 2012.

If we do our part, we know that God will do His part. So may we all
be inspired and blessed to win souls for our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ, in the weeks and months ahead. As we prayerfully
wait for opportunities to witness, let this be our song:

MAKE ME A BLESSING
Out on the highways and by-ways of life,
Many are weary and sad;
Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife,
Making the sorrowing glad.



Make me a blessing, Make me a blessing,
Out of my life may Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O Saviour, I pray,
Make me a blessing to someone today.



Give as 'twas given to you in your need,
Love as the Master loved you;
Be to the helpless a helper indeed,
Unto your mission be true.



Make me a blessing, Make me a blessing,
Out of my life may Jesus shine;
Make me a blessing, O Saviour, I pray,
Make me a blessing to someone today.
