Complete restoration is what Christ offers and this is what we are to accomplish in His strength. Revive us again, reform us forev'r!

Integrated:
In meeting today's evangelistic challenges every branch of our movement must be willing to unite under Christ's banner to finish the Gospel work. Localized full integration is needed now: Local conferences, local pastors, local members, and institutions coming together to work specific areas with specific goals in mind will accomplish a work impossible to accomplish in any other way.

Restoration:
God desires for us to be restored; to be made whole. A healthy vibrant church filled with healthy vibrant individuals and families will reap a residual harvest. A restored church restores communities. For us to be taken seriously by the secular mind we must take God seriously as Seventh-day Adventist Christians. By employing sound principles to engage humanity God will fill His church with the required Spirit to fulfill the proclamation of the final message of mercy to a perishing world.
Evangelism:
Evangelism is not a department, event or activity it is a lifestyle. A paradigm shift is needed in order to induce vibrant multiplication. True multiplication is not restricted by finance, culture, creed, or education. Every individual, family, church, and community must be reached. They cannot be reached until we who have, and continue to experience, a loving relationship with God go and reach. This takes order, discipline, and devotion. Winning souls, our own and others, must be our first and last priority. The end is near, there is no time to lose.
