WHAT IS INITIATIVE 100?
Initiative 100 is a powerful expression of Kingdom unity, with local churches across Nebraska banding together to engage our local, state and national government with a Kingdom perspective.
LOCAL CHURCHES HELPING LOCAL CHURCHES
Same-sex marriage; casino gambling; partial-birth abortion; separation of church and state… these issues dominate the news, influence elections and challenge Nebraska Christians every day!
Initiative 100 exists to help local churches engage and inform the governmental realm with a Kingdom perspective. Many pastors want God to user their church to transform society, yet they lack practical, effective strategies to impact their government. Often, pastors are unsure of their legal limits or biblical responsibilities in this area. Initiative 100 represents a paradigm that recognizes that God's people MUST be inspired, equipped and activated to be "salt and light" in the morally declining culture of our time.
THE FOUR COMPONENTS OF THE INITIATIVE 100 TEMPLATE
 Intercession
"Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayer, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority…" 1 Timothy 2:1 |
 Activism
"…let us not love in word or in tongue but in deed and truth."
1 John 3:18 |
 Relationship Building
…with those who serve us in government. "I have become all things to all men, that might by all means save some." 1 Corinthians 9:22 |
 Worldview Education
"…God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom…" Daniel 1:17 |
Initiative 100 simply offers ideas, resources and relationship in these four spheres of influence. Each church adapts the template to fit their God-given assignment and outreach strategy. Together, we become God's agents to release His redemptive truth and permeate our society.
