II. Spirit of Prophecy Foundation
“This was the way the Christian Church
was established. Christ first selected a few
persons and bade them follow Him. They then
went in search of their relatives and
acquaintances, and brought them to Christ.
This is the way we are to labor. A few souls
brought out and fully established on the truth
will, like the first disciples, be laborers for
others;” (White, Welfare Ministry, 60).
The Significant of Sectoral Elite
Evangelism System could be liken
to networking system
What is networking system?
It is a system of connection. It is a
process of attachment, joining together to
any element whether it is a connected travel
route, communication line or communication
stations (The Newbury House Dictionary of
American English, s.v. “Network”).
According to Go
(Network Marketing, 122).
“As a general practice, we start
recruiting those people who know us
while investing in new relationships
through networking”
Go moreover said,
“Prospecting system is the discipline
of sponsoring and replenishing a fixed
number of serious-minded
distributors,” underlying the needed
factors that “each [is] capable and
willing to sponsor and replenish their
own fixed number of serious-minded
distributors” (Go, 181).
Go, found out that “Networking is the
building of new contacts while
maintaining existing contacts in an
informal network to share the
business opportunity or to improve
one’s career” (Go, 255).
According to Wayne Zunkel in his book
Church Growth Under Files, 140-41
“Our nation is made up of networks.
The most basic network, of course, is
the family
What is Sectoral Elite Evangelism?
(a). Sectoral evangelism is apparently
evangelizing, recruiting and equipping
comrades/friends/or sector without
neglecting other sector.
(b). Furthermore, this is evangelizing
colleagues or friends, the closest
communication lines.
Bullon mentioned, (Ministry, 13)
that:
Statistic shows that seventy percent of
those who become church members said
that first time they heard the Seventh-day
Adventist Church is through their friends,
neighbors, or relatives
Bullon continues, (Ministry, 14)
that:
The divine plan is one-on-one, friend to
friend, relative to relative, neighbor to
neighbor elite evangelism
Rick Warren believed that the most effective
evangelistic strategy is first try to reach
those with whom already have something
in common. He said that in the NT, the
gospel spread primarily through
relationships. The first thing Andrew did
during his conversion was to find his
brother Simon (John 1:41). Philip to
Nathaniel, Mathew holding bonding
relationship dinner with his co-tax
collectors and the woman at the well told
her villagers. The easiest person to reach
for Christ is the person who is most
apparently like you (The Purpose Driven
Church, 173-76).
The story of the restored demoniac
of Gadara in Mark 5:19 affirmed
that Jesus Christ support vividly on
sectoral evangelism:
He said to the restored demoniac of
Gadara, “Go home to thy friends, and tell
them how great things the Lord hath done
for thee, and hath had compassion on thee”
There is a saying that goes like this:
“Birds of the same feathers flock together”

What is elite evangelism
(e). Fifth, elite evangelism is a
process of evangelizing
colleagues in the market place,
(f). Sixth, elite evangelism is
evangelizing friends to the last
friends.
Expert Affirmed that:
(a). “The elite individuals living in the
large cities are solitary beings in
spite of living in the midst of a
multitude of people. Therefore, each
Christian is to assume their role as
individual missionary, (Bullon, 12-14).
(b). Elite people want true friendship
in their emptiness. They go to
social clubs, parties and other
public places but deep inside are
great emptiness in which they
cannot deny. They need to know
someone who is interested in their
struggles and conflicts that could
bring ultimate reality. The nearest
person to build true friendship is
their SDA peers, (Bullon, 12-14).
Application
1. “Biblically speaking, the first task
of the pastor is not to go out onto
the world to win unbelievers to the
Church.
The primary role of the pastor is to
nourish, strengthen, equip, help, and
sustain the laity for its ministry”
(Knowles, A World to Love, 120).
2. “The Bible pictures the pastor as an
equipper of the laity for their work of
service. It is not God’s plan that the
laity should support the pastor as the
star performer, but rather that the pastor
should prepare the laity for their role in
service. A pastor may inhibit lay
involvement or he may be the one who
encourages, trains, and equips the
laypeople” (Knowles, 120).
(3). “The pastor is an equipper, bringing out
the gifts of his people” (Knowles, 33)
(4) “The English word pastor comes from
the Latin for Shepherd’ … The
Shepherd is responsible for his flock. He
cares for them. Guards them, provides
food for them, defends them from their
enemies, and when they stray, he seeks
until he finds them and brings them back.
If need be, a good shepherd will die to save
his sheep” (Knowles, 56).
Church Members’ Primary Work.
(1) “All who receive the life of Christ are
ordained to work for the salvation of their
fellowmen” (White, The Desire of Ages,
822).
(2) “All are alike called to be
missionaries for God” (White, The Ministry
of Healing, 395).
(3) “The New Testament Greek
expression laos refers to the entire people
of God with no distinction between those
paid for their service and who work and
those who perform their services
voluntarily” (Knowles, 120).
Church Members’ Primary Work
(4) “God requires His church to nurse those
who are young in faith and experience”
(White, Evangelism, 352).
(5) “The Church bears responsibility for
nurture and outreach, and God’s plan is
to equip the members so that each will in
some way minister to others and share
the good news” (Eph 4:11-13; Knowles,
151).
Conclusion
Sectoral elite evangelism should not
be “a promotional program, but an
individual commitment, yours and
mine” (Knowles, 218). Moreover,
“will not be a program, but a fire
burning in our hearts” (Knowles,
136).
Paul says, “I can do all things through
Christ which strengtheneth me” (Phil.
4:13)
Can we say, “I can do it?”
Yes! We can do it “through Christ which
strengtheneth us”
“Without God everything will be
a hopeless end, but with God
everything is an endless Hope”
