Proposed Outreach Outline

Bridge Builders: A Main Campus Event, involving Satellite Campus

Participants
The Bridge Builders vision: Create an opportunity for business executives
and entrepreneurs in your church to be active evangelists within their circles
of influence. By presenting workshops that are specifically tailored toward
the needs of contemporary business professionals, business leaders are
given a platform in which to introduce peers to career enhancing topics in a
Gospel-centric environment.
What does this look like?
At a set time each month, we will bring in a guest speaker for worship
services, then hold them over for a special evening event. Ideally, this would
be a Sunday. There would be a pre-event intimate meet and greet open only
to Bridge Builders, followed by a public speaking event, and the evening
would culminate with a church service.
A Bridge Builder will give an additional $1,600 of financial support each year,
over the annual tithe and offering/missions giving. This financial stake goes
toward the advancement of soul-winning through satellite campuses or
building programs.
Depending on church size, if you were to acquire 500 Bridge Builders that
could allow for a reasonable goal of an $800,000 cash influx. In that case,
the estimation is that there would be a NET $600,000 after approximately
$200,000 in expenses for speakers, publications, advertising and a
companion internship program.
The idea is that soul-winning resources will be secured through the Bridge
Builders lifestyle, which of course is built around winning souls to Christ,
following an evangelistic model of church planting.
To achieve optimum success in implementing this vision, an internship
program will be implemented. The objective will be to raise interns from
within and from outside the church to witness and bear witness to the Bridge
Builder vision. Interns will be recruited from area Christian colleges and local
Bible schools. The goal is to fill the satellite campuses with on fire leaders
equipped to serve the church in every ministry capacity. Interns trained in
childrens discipleship, cross cultural ministry or media evangelism will be
part of the Bridge Builders legacy - thousands of souls won to the Kingdom of
God over the coming years.

Details on this proposed internship program are available in my Outline for

Success: Interns in the Church.
Bridge Builder benefits that we could offer to the business owners
and financial leaders in our church and the community include:
1. Promotional materials that list the names and businesses of all Bridge
Builders. These will be distributed quarterly to the congregation and
given to Bridge Builders to share, in quantities appropriate to their
business.
2. Bridge Builders will receive monthly God-inspired instructions designed
to equip and motivate them to achieve greater success in their
professional arena.
3. Each month, one of the Bridge Builders will be showcased, highlighting
their exceptional leadership in the church and community.
The church receives the following benefits:
1. This program will secure resources for winning souls and reaching out
to and into the community throughout the year.
2. Bridge Builders will bring about positive relationship building with
business leaders and financial icons in the community.
3. This creates opportunities for advancement on many levels, promoting
service and unity in the church and community.
4. Satellite campuses will be paid for, funded, and filled with interns that
have been raised up by God in our community, and called and trained
by primary church staff. These young people, ages 16-30 from the
Chicago area, will be mentored and discipled to fill a variety of ministry
positions on the main and satellite campuses.
Additional outreach programming can include the following options:
Womens Ministry - Fashion Share is a real red carpet event sponsored by
the church and taking place at downtown location. The purpose is to win
souls and build relationships:
1. We ask the women of the church to donate one outfit from head to toe
to be given to an underpriveleged woman in the city that would need it
to seek a job, and/or have a nice outfit for church and special
occasions.
2. Present a special service, featuring a female comedian or speaker to
encourage women, culminating with a salvation message, prayer and
the filling of the Holy Spirit.
3. This could be an annual event that reaches out to the satellite campus
that we have up and running.

Home Missions/Mission Trips In 2015, we would offer one trip for each
age group. The first trips should be in an affordable range of $1,600 to
$2,000 per individual.
Suggestions:
Youth - Jamaica
Young Adult Mexico and/or Guatemala
Adult medical missions to Guatemala or Costa Rico
Silver Saints - We kick off Silver Saints Ministries, a senior citizen oriented
program at the Hoffman Estates Campus, with a Gospel Cruise featuring
traditional Gospel music by the Blackwoods or the Gaithers.
A September Labor Day celebration could include a 10 a.m. Monday service,
where we sing the old songs, hear special guest speakers and musical
artists. Community will be fostered by a communal meal, and a focus on
heritage and patriotism. Well include the Pledge of Allegiance and the
traditional tune, God Bless America.
Mens Ministry/Women Ministry/Marriage Ministry - We introduce the
Tres Dias Weekend, a three day encounter. The best explanation of this
opportunity is that it is a soul-winning, refreshing and refocusing encounter
where you are put in a place where you have to slow down enough to
experience Gods Love in the deepest way. This experience will build into
being one of most powerful ministries in your church. Your leaders and staff
will thank you for years to come for introducing this time away with God for
the rest of their lives.
MY 3 Top Weekends in my Life:
1. Getting married to my wife
2. My sons birth
3. Tres Dias Weekend
Children ministry There are endless ways to impact children, including
holding a childrens service or operating a Kids Bus Ministry.
The ideas focus on the Childrens Church Experience/Healthy Family
Experience and how it leads to growth in the church. Childrens ministry is
the most important ministry, and it is essential to ensure that it is functioning
at the highest level.
One of my favorite ideas is an annual in-reach via life groups for kids that
focus on their talents and allows the young members to connect with the
talents of adults in the church. Those adults can serve as an encourager to

Marshick page 4

the children. This is a wonderful way to draw adult leaders in the

congregation into engagement with childrens ministry.
The program involves pinpoint adults with certain skills, expertise or gifts,
such as:

rapping, singing, or poetry writing

knitting or sewing
painting, drawing or photography
video gaming (great opportunity to teach and model setting limits and
acting with responsibility)
playing guitar, piano, or other instrument

Life group should last about six weeks, allowing time for participants to
connect, hone talents, and have fun.
Details on childrens ministry programming are available in my Childrens
Ministry packet.
RED Book Campaign/Challenge - Relational Evangelism in the 21 st
Century - Simply put, the concept comes from an annual focus on
developing a goal oriented culture.
Once a year, for a week or a month, the topic is Relational Evangelism,
presented in a way that puts a tool in members hands to challenge them to
get out of their comfort zone and share their faith story. Participants will
write down prayer requests and learn to share Gods salvation story, but the
program is built around the idea of the professional business card. God, our
Father, sees you put that card in your pocket and automatically,
supernaturally, you are destined to run into someone with whom you can
share your business and hand out. You put the evangelistic cards in your
purse or wallet in anticipation and expectation of running in to someone with
whom you will share that card.
The Red Book is a challenge where members are asked to carry the little red
book around for a certain amount of time with the expectation of running in
to someone with whom they will share their personal testimony. How do we
defeat the enemy with the Word of God and word of our testimony? We get
people to share what they know that which God have done in their own
lives. If prayer needs arise, participants take out the little red book and write
the prayer requests down, demonstrating a level of Christian care and
concern that many have never seen before. The door is now open for the
invitation to our awesome church!
Follow up Process Starts with Closing the Back Door/Side Door - You
want to close the back door. You have to make a strategic time and effort to

Marshick page 5

be at the back door to shake hands and hug some necks. My suggestion is
that at least once a month, after the service, be at one of the doors, along
with someone to write down prayer requests. No matter how big a church
gets, we never stop smelling like the sheep. Luke 2:52 reminds us that Jesus
grew in stature with God and man. We make time for man, but carefully and
strategically. Even big churches must find ways to act like small churches.
Assimilation can start at baptism. We need to find assimilation partners at
time of conception: spiritual mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts. Be a family.
If a visitor feels like they have a place to serve and can sign up for something
in their range of interest or giftedness, they find a sense of belonging. We
can help them find that place to serve. If not, they will go elsewhere in
pursuit of that place.
One way to help visitors and new members find their place is through
Care Teams:

Hospitality - weekly
Visitation - monthly
Intercession Prayer- weekly, with a goal of becoming daily
Meals Ministry as needed for funerals, weddings, surgery, births (this
is an excellent way to promote a small church feeling of togetherness)
Building and Grounds - every six months for Easter and Christmas
Housekeeping every six months for Easter and Christmas

Marriage Ministry - Twice a year, the church could host a marriage

conference. At first it may be most efficient to bring in an existing program,
and work toward creating our own unique product. This is an important
ministry for which to find the resources and space to implement.
Once a year, offer to lead a Weekend to Remember. This is a basic soulwinning opportunity, for the young and newly married.
Strip Club Ministry/Human Trafficking We CAN get the girls in this
pornographic profession out of the clubs and into the church. The Holy Spirit
rescues all and we can stand in the gap between women and this dangerous,
consuming, and addictive way of life.
There are federal and state financial resources available for the work of
rescuing sexually exploited women who are victims of human trafficking in
our urban area and statewide.
Details on this ministry to exploited women are available in my Strip Club
Ministry packet.
