WAKE UP
AMERICA
START A REVITALIZATION EVANGELISIM EFFORT THAT EQUIPS CHURCHES TO IMPACT THEIR COMMUNITIES, THEIR CITIES, AND AMERICA
HELP US WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
THE PROJECT
The 21st Century has presented unique challenges to the American Church. Many communities have changed and the traditional practices that were embraced all throughout our country's history are today being challenged.
Churches across the country are failing to impact their communities. This has led some to become "seeker friendly" while others have continued as they always have. Our culture is in great need of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Sadly, the American Church over the past several decades has failed to adequately reach the lost culture around them.
Seeker friendly churches have watered down the Gospel. Status quo churches have failed to face the challenge of existing in a post-modern culture, and because of this, many churches have had to close their doors.
The answer is not watering down the message of Jesus Christ nor just doing things the way they have always been done. The American Church needs to be revitalized. The Gospel must go forth in society. The American Church and the Christians that make it up must unashameadly and boldy proclaim the Gospel.
WAKE UP AMERICA is a project aimed at igniting the United States with the Gospel through an emphasis on personal evangelism and local community outreach. Its time for the American Church to WAKE UP with a passion to reach the lost. God is calling His people to be witnesses on a daily basis. The time of a "Sunday-only" church going Christian is over.
God is calling us to rise up and WAKE UP AMERICA. To be on fire for Him and to do something about the decilne of Christanity here in America.
Join WAKE UP AMERICA as we set this nation on fire with the Gospel.
THE HARD TRUTH
Many chuches have very little outreach. Even fewer churches have outreach that is Gospel centered. Look at statistics below.
95% of American Christians
HAVE NEVER PERSONALLY WON A SOUL TO CHRIST1
80% DON'T CONSISTANTLY TELL ANYONE ABOUT THE GOSPEL1
Less than 2% are involved in the ministry of evangelism 1
71% DO NOT GIVE toward the financing of the Great Commission 1
Every year more than 4000 churches close their doors compared to just over 1000 new church that start 2
BY 2015 "hopeful" expectations are that 15% of Americans will be "frequent" churgoers. In all reality it could be drastically less. Our current tragectory is to become like Europe 2
ONLY 14% of Chrsitians have shared their faith 3 or more times over the last six months 3
In 2012, LifeWay did a survey and found that 61% of believers HAVE NOT SHARED THEIR FAITH IN 6 MONTHS 3
Nearly 40% of millenials do not identify with any branch of Christianiity 4
