Creating Culture of Outreach in the Local Church through THREE ONES

Building a Simple, Relational, and Sustainable Culture of Outreach

Creating an outreach culture in the local church is one of the most challenging yet meaningful journeys a church can take. We have experienced those challenges ourselves. We cried out to God, spent many hours in meetings, learned from others, asked questions, and walked through many trials and errors along the way.

Through that journey, God helped us develop the THREE ONES ministry model, which helped create a simple, relational, and sustainable culture of outreach in our church. Little by little, people began to recognize that God was working through them. They began seeing the fruit of simple faithfulness in everyday life.

We also realized that many churches and believers still struggle with outreach, often feeling pressure, fear, uncertainty, or discouragement. Because of that, we would love to share the process of how we built a culture of outreach through the simple and relational THREE ONES model.

Our hope is that these practical steps through the THREE ONES model can help churches prayerfully build a healthy, sustainable, and relational culture of outreach within their own communities.
