Group reaches out through multimedia campaign

When Lauren Haynie was a freshman, she remembers struggling to find a place she fit into at college.

After winter break 2010, Haynie, a general studies junior and co-vice president of I Am Second UNT, found her calling during a College Ministry road trip.

Later, she was introduced to Chris Plekenpol, one of the first speakers for I Am Second.

“We all have struggles and we are designed to be able to help each other through them,” Haynie said.

I Am Second, a worldwide multimedia movement founded in 2008, was started by Plano-based e3 Partners Ministry, said Jim Williamson, a mechanical engineering sophomore and president of the group.

The stories on iamsecond.com provide insight into dealing with daily struggles while relating to others, according to the website.

I Am Second UNT is directed toward the college generation, open to anyone and free to join, Williamson said.

“I Am Second is all about teaching people to live a life where we are always putting ourselves second, never first,” said Leah Olsen, a communications and political science junior and co-vice president.

The group has a core team of seven people who do the decision making and more than 35 members, Williamson said.

Throughout the week, small group sessions meet and every Sunday, a large group meeting is held at 8:30 p.m. at the Clubhouse, which is located at 1026 Hillcrest St. All members gather to worship, pray, receive updates and meet new members, Olsen said.

The sessions follow a process of watching a video from the website, reading a passage that goes along with the video, answering analytical questions and applying what they learned at the session to something and someone before they meet up the following week, Olsen said. “It’s a safe place where you can come and ask questions, where it’s not heavy on doctoring beliefs,” said Steven Bieberly, a communications senior and member. “They don’t force things on people.”

The group is supported by fundraisers such as carwashes, as well as by the national I Am Second organization and Denton Bible Church, Williamson said.

The movement differs from a church because it’s geared toward non-believers and people of other faiths, using an outreach process instead of the in-reach process which is typically used, Bieberly said.

“I Am Second is primarily focused on relating and befriending those who would never darken the door of a church,” Haynie said.

The group participates in Homeless Ministry every Wednesday night in Dallas and is involved with Denton Bible Church and the Village Church Denton Campus , Olsen said.

The next event is at 7:30 p.m. on Monday at the Clubhouse, and is for students to learn more about I Am Second UNT and be placed in a small group session, Haynie said.

“I really want people to see how Christians really live in a community as opposed to the stereotypes,” Williamson said.
I Am Second UNT will celebrate its one-year birthday at the start of the new year, and hopes by then that the numbers are larger because students are willing to give the movement a try.

“I was the girl who came to college and got caught up in the scene of boys, parties and bars,” Olsen said. “I think every person should be aware that they don’t have to go through college alone.”

Country and Urban Strategist Positions Launched
On the evening of June 24, there was a soft launch of two new types of staff positions for e3 Partners. These were the Country Strategist and Urban Strategist positions. An orientation session was held for a small, select group of individuals who were challenged to consider taking up this type of ministry.

One reason for establishing these positions was to enable e3 to practically pursue the goal of seeing a church planted within access of everyone on earth. This is difficult to do when the organization has no presence or work in many countries.

The new Strategists will work with others in the Body of Christ in their target areas to see churches planted throughout the area. The focus will be on starting new simple/organic churches which can multiply and begin to impact and transform society. Special emphasis will be placed on starting churches among people groups and in places where there are currently no churches.

One significant implication of this new approach will be that work will be initiated in cities in the United States and Canada where e3 has not worked previously except through the “I am second” ministry. Focus in North American cities will fall heavily on language and ethnic group work.

Those undertaking work as a Strategist will begin by assessing current ministry efforts taking place within their target area and figuring out how they can serve those who are already actively serving there. The Strategists will seek to find new synergies from among the churches, resources, and organizations already there. They will also seek to mobilize additional resources for the task. All this will be done with a view to making disciples who will multiply and thus plant new churches.

Most of the Strategists serving with e3 will be Associate staff members, meaning they will keep their jobs and responsibilities and serve as volunteers in the task with their discretionary time. They will choose from among about 300 cities and nearly 100 countries as they select their target area.

If you have questions or are interested in considering serving in this way, contact curtis.sergeant@e3partners.org.
