The Strategy Tool

Reach. Restore. Reproduce
Jesus gave us the model for reaching people far from God, restoring them to wholeness, and reproducing His life in others. As we follow His example, our lives take on new meaning and purpose.
Reach
Like Jesus with the Samaritan woman at the well, we are called to reach out to those far from God with compassion and care. We do this by:
Listening without judgment to their stories and struggles
Sharing meals and building genuine friendships
Serving practical needs that demonstrate God’s love
Restore
As Jesus saw people’s brokenness and limitations, He sought to restore them to God’s dreams for their lives. We do the same by:
Identifying sources of struggle and suffering
Sharing the gospel as good news of freedom and healing
Seeing how the Temptation Tool views the thing behind the thing.
Reproduce
Jesus didn’t keep His life-changing message to Himself. He commissioned all followers to reproduce His life and mission. We do this by:
Equipping others with the tools to reach and restore (BLESS, Temptation Tools)
Creating opportunities for people to use their gifts
Releasing leaders to start new groups or tribes
