This document discusses the importance of living a life with purpose and direction through integrated evangelism. It encourages adopting an "evangelistic lifestyle" to help spread the gospel message. The Seventh-day Adventist Church is currently engaged in a massive evangelistic outreach initiative in major cities worldwide. Living purposefully involves understanding one's divine reason for existence in order to focus performance on what truly matters. Without a clear sense of purpose, people may feel directionless and lack goals. The Bible teaches that faith without works is dead - we must take action that aligns with our faith.

4. Evangelism – Go ye into All the World
Marcos16: --- 15,Ket kinunana
cadacuada: incay iti isu-amin a
lubong, ket icasabayo ti evangelio
iti isu-amin a parsua.

5. REAPING GOD’S HARVEST – 2014/2015
The Seventh-day Adventist Church is
currently engaged in a massive
evangelistic outreach to impact six
hundred and fifty of the world’s
major cities.

6. This initiative began one year ago with
a comprehensive evangelistic approach
in four hundred locations in New York
City which resulted in thousands of
church members equipped to reach
their friends and neighbors for Christ
and 5,295 baptisms.

7. “Evangelistic work, opening the
Scriptures to others, warning men and
women of what is coming upon the
world, is to occupy more and still more
of the time of God’s servants.”—
(Review and Herald, Aug. 2, 1906.)

8. What is the Success of this Purpose,
Integrated Evangelism Lifestyle?

9. We are Created With Purpose
Key Texts: Ephesians 2:10
“For we are his workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus unto good works, which God
hath before ordained that we should walk
in them.”

10. “Prepare thy work without, and make it
fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards
build thine house.”
Proverb 24:27

11. Achieve Greater Success. Do
It On Purpose!
• Are you living a life of passion and purpose?
• Do you ever get the feeling you're not quite
living life to the fullest?
• Do you believe you are capable of so much
more, but just don't know where to start?

12. Pastor Rick Warren, in his thought-provoking
book, The Purpose-Driven Life, posed the
question of the ages...
1. "What on Earth Am I Here For?“
2. "How in the world am I going to make this
happen?!"

13. • However, once you know the answer to
this question—once you understand the
Divine reason for your existence—there's
an even bigger question to be
answered...

14. Achieve Success On Purpose...
Success On Purpose is the STARTING-POINT for a
life of true and lasting success—however you
define it:
Wealth... Power... Happiness... Significance
— or just the peace of mind that comes
from knowing you have done your very
best.

15. STARTING-POINT for a life of true
and lasting success
• Discover your Natural MISSION and Authentic
DIRECTION...
• Expand your VISION of what's possible for your
life...
• Learn how to achieve SUCCESS without limits...
• Create a life of PASSION, significance and
meaning...
• Develop a WINNERS Mindset: Absolute Clarity...
Unwavering Conviction... Total Commitment...
and the Courage to overcome fear, uncertainty
and doubt and take bold ACTION

16. • Your Purpose Challenge: Become
Truly ALIVE...
• Our mission is to help people immediately find
the STARTING POINT for a wonderful new
future... a life of Happiness... Satisfaction and
Significance.

17. Is a lack of Mission causing
you problems?

18. When your sense of Mission is
strong and vibrant….
• You are already an incredible success... but want
to take it up to the next level. You simply need
to discover and release you hidden potential.
• You are focused on specific lifetime visions, and
each day brings new opportunities to make your
dreams come true.
• You find ways to make a difference with your time
and your life in a pursuit higher than your own
personal interests.
• You believe life is full of meaning and purpose,
meant to be lived to its fullest.

19. When your sense of Mission is
strong and vibrant….
• You know who you are and what you stand for.
• You feel confident in who you are and what you
can do.
• You say no to distractions and interruptions that
would take you off track from your dreams and
goals.
• You have purpose and passion and so you don’t
allow anger, guilt, fear and drama to run your life.
• You courageously take on new challenges and
changing events.
• You believe in your innate ability to overcome
and succeed no matter the setbacks or obstacles.

20. When your sense of Mission
is weak and faded...
• You feel directionless and lack clear goals for your life.
• You know you are becoming old and cynical... not old and
successful.
• You lack clarity of vision and have no compelling conviction
that what you are doing is the right thing to be doing.
• You feel like you are falling behind... with no way to catch up.
• You feel like you just need to start over... find a new life...
because the life you are living provides little joy, happiness
and satisfaction.
• Nothing really seems to matter, and you feel like you are—
year-after-year—constantly moving in circles... stressed out,
burned out and running on empty.
• You have no money... limited savings... lack of financial
freedom.

21. When your sense of Mission
is weak and faded...
• You are deep in debt... leveraged to the hilt... always just
one step ahead of a major financial disaster.
• You have no time for you... no time for others... you are
literally being pulled apart.
• You lack focus on top priorities and are consumed by
urgencies.
• You work your butt off, with limited, or no job growth and
career progress.
• You are working paycheck to paycheck... limited potential
for advancement.
• You are no closer to the success you desire than you were
5-10-15-20 years ago.
• You seem like a success... you have it all... but inside you
feel like you're living a lie.

22. WHY do people ultimately Succeed?
• They succeed... simply because they
EXPECT to succeed... crystal-clear
expectations born from powerful clarity,
conviction, commitment and courage.

23. So, WHY do people ultimately fail?
• The REASON is simple: People never
really EXPECT to succeed in the first
place... because they never even get to
the Starting Point for true and lasting
success.

24. • No question, we are saved by
Grace... but leave a legacy of
works/results that derive from our
faith in action.

25. • This is why Success On Purpose is so
important. It connects our Divine
Purpose with Personal Performance.
The only way we can LIVE our Purpose...
is to PERFORM on Purpose.

26. • Just HOW can I live a life of passion and
purpose?
• What, exactly, am I expected to do?
• How can I transform my life's purpose into an
unstoppable mission... and ultimately achieve
the success I desire, personally and
professionally?

27. "Our chief usefulness to humanity rests
on our combining power with high
purpose. Power undirected by high
purpose spells calamity, and high purpose
by itself is utterly useless if the power to
put it into effect is lacking."
Theodore Roosevelt

28. Simple Truth...
The truth is, understanding your purpose in
life is not just a good idea. It is everything.
Why?
Because your purpose is what establishes
your direction in life.

29. "The man without a purpose is like a ship
without a rudder—waif, a nothing, a no
man. Have a purpose in life, and, having
it, throw such strength of mind and
muscle into your work as God has given
you."
Thomas Carlyle

30. In a sense, your purpose is your life.
Understand the WHY of your existence,
then living your purpose becomes much
easier—and far more rewarding.

31. Without a clear sense of "Who Am I, and
Why Am I Here," there is no need to
improve your performance. You don't
know where you are going, so there is no
real need to help you get there any faster.

32. However, once you truly understand your
unique purpose, your performance is
everything.
Why?
Because you want to actually LIVE your
purpose—rather than just passively watch
your life go by.

33. Why is this a serious issue?
Without a strong sense of purpose and
direction, people...
• Feel like they are merely running in place...
• Feel like they are living someone else's life... a life
not of their own choosing or making...
• Have low self-esteem and self-confidence
issues...
• Have no clear and tangible Goals, thus live a life
of regrets, not results...
• Have no way to focus their performance on what
matters most to them.

34. Worse, they start believing the "Myth of
Life"... that they are not "good enough"...
not "smart enough"... not "rich enough"...
or are too young... too old... the wrong
education... not enough money... not
SOMETHING enough. Pure bull.

35. Here's what the Holy Bible says about
Faith and Deeds...
• James 14: What good is it, my brothers, if a
man claims to have faith but has no deeds?
Can such faith save him?
• 15: Suppose a brother or sister is without
clothes and daily food.
• 16: If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you
well; keep warm and well fed," but does
nothing about his physical needs, what good is
it?

36. 17: In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not
accompanied by action, is dead. 18: But
someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds."
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will
show you my faith by what I do.

37. I know that Paul and Peter had a "time" with
James, arguing if faith is all we need, but if we
do not ACT on our faith... take ACTION to right
the wrongs, help the poor, feed the sick (all
verbs) -- then what we have in the end are
words that are not true expressions of our faith -
- to serve -- to love -- to help -- to, as I like to put
it, live the law with love.

38. This is why Success On Purpose is so important.
It connects our Divine Purpose with Personal
Performance. The only way we can LIVE our
Purpose... is to PERFORM on Purpose.

39. If we get this right, we will help our
members to grow in faith and invite more
people to the foot of the Cross.
