2 Melbourne is Australia s second largest city of 3.2 million people. Melbourne
3 1885 SN Haskell & Co came to start work in Melbourne no SDA church in the heart of the city of Melbourne till 2003 when Gateway Adventist Centre started Per capita Melbourne has the worst ratio of SDA to the population. 20 years ago there were 5 City apartments; Today there are 240 City apartments
4 1885 S N Haskell and team came from USA to start work in Melbourne Five families came from USA to Melbourne to start the SDA work in After (a) 2 evangelistic meetings, (b) literature distribution and (c) home Bible readings 90 people formed the first church. 6 years later Ellen White came in 1891 where there were 700 members in multiple churches. North Fiztroy SDA church is the oldest church in Australia but not in the heart of the city.
5 Gateway Adventist Center (GAC) Adventist Students On Campus (ASOC) What is Gateway? Ministry started by a few SDA young people y.o. A network of care groups (small group ministry) and many overseas care groups New Church in the city of Melbourne that grew from 35 to 150 in 4 years. 2 nd Church started May 08 Training Centre to train young people to be soul-winners for Christ & courses to reach the community via needs-based courses Church sponsoring the Student Club (Adventist Student On Campus) at 3 University Campuses Gateway is an Outreach center 60 baptism in 5 years
6 Our Vision Gateway will be a soulwinning and training centre that multiplies churches in 3 years.
7 What motivates people in a church? In a church, as a volunteer organisation, we mobilise the people based on a shared VISION and shared VALUES.
8 Our Values Bible Based Beliefs and practices are founded on the Bible Christ-Dependent Empowered by prayer Seeker Oriented Passionate about reaching seekers Discipleship modeling Dedicated to a mentoring philosophy Training Equipping for witnessing Accountability Accept personal and group accountability
9 Young People with a Burden to Reach Out Melbourne 1999 Forest Hill Asian SDA Church Melbourne City Port Philip Bay
10 Young People with a Burden to Reach Out Melbourne 1999 Forest Hill Asian SDA Church Melbourne City Port Philip Bay
11 God brought in Adult Counselors to guide the young people Aug 1999 Comments from young people Friday night vespers is great we have 50 people attending no need to reach out and grow We can make the friends but we do know how to share the message to them Apr 2000 Revival Program with Revival Speaker Revival of the word - The Seventh-Day Adventist church is not merely a church but a movement called for the last days. We have a unique value proposition to the world the everlasting gospel in the context of the three angels messages.
12 Training God brought in 3 couples to train the young people STEP 1 The book of Revelation, in connection with the book of Daniel, especially demands study. Let every God-fearing teacher consider how most clearly to comprehend and to present the gospel that our Saviour came in person to make known to His servant John STEP 2 When a real love for the Bible is awakened, and the student begins to realize how vast is the field and how precious its treasure, he will desire to seize upon every opportunity for acquainting himself with God's word Education p.191
13 Training God brought in 3 couples to train the young people STEP 3 Let the youth of today, the youth who are growing up with the Bible in their hands, become the recipients and the channels of its life-giving energy, and what streams of blessing would flow forth to the world! Education p.192 STEP 4 Training Small Group Leaders each Thursday Evening on skills group dynamics, bible knowledge and reading the book Evangelism by Ellen G White.
14 Principle 1 of 5 True Spiritual Revival by the WORD is required - clear SDA identity, - urgency of prophetic message of hope.
15 Gateway Adventist Center (GAC) Adventist Students On Campus (ASOC) What is Gateway? Ministry started by a few SDA young people y.o. A network of care groups (small group ministry) and many overseas care groups New Church in the city of Melbourne that grew from 35 to 150 in 4 years. 2 nd Church started May 08 Training Centre to train young people to be soul-winners for Christ & courses to reach the community via needs-based courses Church sponsoring the Student Club (Adventist Student On Campus) at 3 University Campuses Gateway is an Outreach center 60 baptism in 5 years
16 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved. Acts 2:46-47
17 Homes is often more successful The presentation of Christ in the family, and in small gatherings in private homes is often more successful in winning souls to Jesus than are sermons in halls or churches. Christian Service p.122
18 End-time Strategy = CARE Groups "In visions of the night, representations passed before me of a great reformatory movement among God's people. Many were praising God. The sick were healed, and other miracles were wrought. A spirit of intercession was seen, even as was manifested before the great Day of Pentecost. Hundreds and thousands were seen visiting families and opening before them the word of God. Hearts were convicted by the power of the Holy Spirit, and a spirit of genuine conversion was manifest. On every side doors were thrown open to the proclamation of the truth. The world seemed to be lightened with the heavenly influence. Great blessings were received by the true and humble people of God. I heard voices of thanksgiving and praise, and there seemed to be a reformation such as we witnessed in 1844 Testimonies Vol. 9 p.126

70 Principle 5 of 5 Watch HOLY SPIRIT Look for people s change points in soul-winning.
71 Soul Winning is for YOU! Soul-Winning Is NOT an Option "In every church we need Christ-like workers, those who in life and character are growing in the divine likeness by working to call sinners to repentance. The spiritual life of the church can be kept alive only as the members make personal efforts to win souls to Christ. No amount of mental culture or theological training will do this work. But it can be done by the soul who is humble and contrite, and imbued with the Spirit of God." Signs of Times.1899 p.7
72 Soul Winning is for YOU! God could have reached His object in saving sinners without our aid; but in order for us to develop a character like Christ s, we must share in His work. In order to enter into His joy the joy of seeing souls redeemed by His sacrifice we must participate in His labors for their redemption. Desire of Ages p.142
