Reach 3
Reach 3 - A joint ministry with Evangelism USA to have each man prayerfully identify three men not known to be Christians from your work, neighborhood, and/or recreation. Pray daily for the salvation of these three men. Invite each man to a one-on-one, “non-agenda” meal. (May also invite spouse). Just get to know him. As appropriate, consider asking each man for prayer requests. Check back to see how it’s going. Later, consider inviting your three men to outreach events, Bible studies, or church. Continue praying and looking for ways to expose them to evangelistic opportunities. Once a man makes a commitment to Christ, help him become involved in church and discipleship opportunities.
