3isEnough groups are a simple way to practice following Jesus. They are not an end in themselves. Their focus is on God and others and the spiritual transformation such a focus brings.
3isEnough has a double meaning: they are three friends or colleagues doing three simple and humble activities – reading, praying, serving – in order to rescue mission out of the program category and relocate it back in the natural context of spiritual formation through three simple and doable activities which facilitate the journey inward and the journey outward:
- Pray to be alert to the Spirit’s leadership and guidance; pay attention to the people and events of your life; pray for Spirit-power that enables you to be an ambassador of the Kingdom in the routines of your life; and pray for the ability to do so for the good of others.
- Read to grow so that the journey inward and the journey outward can be facilitated, by meditating on the things the Spirit highlights in your reading; and by discussing your reading with your 3iE Group once a week over coffee, lunch or after work.
- Serve others by being alert, by noticing others; through creative, resourceful and inventive help for others; being humble, gentle, generous and genuinely altruistic—no attention drawn to you or your TiE Group. God’s purpose for you is that you are his cooperative friend–serving others—the least, the last, the broken and the missing—in the everyday affairs and rhythms of your life.
Functioning in member’s most natural places of community – the workplace, school, retirement home, or at a local coffee shop, etc, - 3isEnough groups will go on the Journey Inward of spiritual transformation and the Journey Outward of serving others.
