| Welcome to NET 2008: Discoveries '08 Let me assure you that you may be poised on the verge of one of the most thrilling experiences of your ministry. Nothing is more rewarding than cooperating with the Holy Spirit in leading people to Jesus. The entire focus of Jesus’ ministry was reaching lost people. The gospel of Luke summarizes the essence of our Lord’s life this way: “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which is lost” (Luke 19:10).  The closer we come to Jesus the more we too share His passion. To really follow Jesus is to follow Him on His journey to share the Father’s love. Any church that does not make soul winning its priority fails in the very reason for its existence. Ellen White states it succinctly, “The church is God’s appointed agency for the salvation of men. It was organized for service, and its mission is to carry the gospel to the world” (Acts of the Apostles, p. 9).Discoveries '08 is an opportunity for you to lead your church in a focused, carefully planned evangelistic outreach in your community. You can unite with hundreds of churches throughout North America in a massive evangelistic outreach initiative. Discoveries '08 will be carried live from October 24-November 29, 2008 to the churches and homes across North America. The Hope Channel signal will beam it worldwide. Your members can have the sense that they are participating in something “BIG” for God. Discoveries '08 has the possibility of rekindling the fire of evangelism among your church members. It can renew their desire to be involved in the mission of the church. It can re-ignite the dying flame of evangelism in their hearts and it will certainly strengthen their commitment to the Christ-centered, Biblical truths of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. NET events alone do not win souls. They are successful in direct proportion to the involvement of the local church. When church members are praying for their loved ones, friends and neighbors, God does pour out His Holy Spirit in an unusual way. When church members are actively visiting interested people and giving Bible studies, God honors their consecrated efforts. When church members invite their friends to the meetings and attend with them, God blesses in a powerful way. NET events are not some kind of magic wand. They do not create church growth, but they are a tool in the hand of the Holy Spirit to transform lives. In the past twelve years, I have conducted seventeen NET events worldwide with millions in attendance. God has blessed mightily. I will assure you that if your church members bring people to your church to participate in the Discoveries ‘08 event, the Holy Spirit will touch their hearts. You will have results. Souls will be won for the kingdom. Lives will be changed. God will work life-changing miracles in your church. Welcome to one of the greatest soul winning, evangelistic experiences of your life.
