i3 is not a traditional church, but a regional apostolic training and revival center. i3 is a specific outreach promoting 3 general ideas in the Christian life.
If a believer can function in these three areas they will connect horizontally, understand who lives in them and impact vertically those around them. We have built the function of i3 around this revival center model. These concepts are carried out through our three core outreaches: Ignite, Immerse and Influence.
Ignite
The Christian life is to be known by the new birth experience. You are not the same person, because the person of Christ lives inside of you through the Holy Spirit. The goal is to ignite the flame inside the believer. This are carried out through a highly promoted monthly worship service. This service is geared very much like a prophetic “soaking” service. All are welcome. Unity and diversity will be recognized and celebrated here. The faces of local leaders and voices will be seen and heard in these services, as well as lead and well known voices in the Kingdom. Students and people can come and experience the presence of God and sense His reality here.
Immerse
The Spirit gets born again, but the mind needs to be renewed by the Holy Scriptures. The goal is to bring foundation to the spirit-filled life, by understanding what the Bible teaches about the Spirit living through His people. This are carried out through a service that serves as a, “School of the Spirit”. The service will be specifically targeted for living out the spirit-filled life. This service will typically be taught by Shawn Patrick and Christy Williams. It will equip the believer to know their identity in Christ and learn how to operate in the spirit realm in order and effective. This is the place of vision casting and personal instruction.
Influence
The Bible is clear that believers have a commission to influence the world around them for Christ. We are to be salt and light! The Holy Spirit was given, primarily, to be witnesses for Christ. The goal is to generate regional evangelism through this consistent commission to participants. After every I3 event the last thing participant will hear and be released to do is witness to someone and impact their world for Christ. There are weekly teams going out on the campuses, as well. Influence does have a periodical “cook out” outreach to the community. We baptize on the spot. We give away food and invite the lost. We trained teams go to the community we serve to pass out flyers about this and witness the week before.
The Bible is clear that believers have a commission to influence the world around them for Christ. We are to be salt and light! The Holy Spirit was given, primarily, to be witnesses for Christ (Acts 1:8). Our goal at i3 is to generate regional evangelism through this consistent commission to participants. After every i3 event the last thing participant will hear and be released to do is witness to three people and impact their world for Christ. We are seeing effective and long-term spiritual growth and renewal as our revival center efforts bear fruit.
