When at Capernaum, Jesus said to them, “I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.”¹ The Galilee Protocol mission is to work using Christ's Method Alone: presenting a balanced demonstration of His character to the largest cities in America—through self-sacrificing service and clear, bold warnings from the fourth angel.*

In Christ's day the situation was urgent. “He knew that unless there was a decided change in the principles and purposes of the human race, all would be lost.”² This urgency was intensified by the fact that He had so short a time to accomplish so much. So He did not use the systems or conventions of the world. He did not borrow techniques or procedures from the preachers, teachers, or physicians of His time. “By methods peculiarly His own, Christ helped all who were in sorrow and affliction.”³ He began such a movement as the world has never seen. Within the space of a single generation the world had been reached with His life-changing gospel.

We believe that the situation is urgent today too. The world is on a rapid course to destruction, and unless God's people work diligently to bring about a decided change in this generation—it might be forever too late. “We are to work as Christ worked, in the same practical lines. Then we will be safe. The divine commission needs no reform. Christ's way of presenting the truth cannot be improved upon.”⁴ “Christ's method alone will give true success in reaching the people.”⁵ We must reactivate the Galilee Protocol! 

The Galilee Protocol vision is to use the cities of America as a stage upon which to ignite a glorious display of Christ's righteousness so as to set the global context for the last conflict in the great controversy between Christ and Satan.

Scripture promises that this last conflict will be a time of trouble such as the world has never seen. Earth's great apostate power will place every energy into warfare against God's law. In this battle there will be but two classes of people. Every character will be fully developed; and all will show whether they have chosen the side of loyalty or rebellion.

God's law is the transcript of His Character: it is the perfect blending of His justice and mercy. In preparation for the soon-coming righteous judgments of God, His people unite together fully surrendered to His Spirit. Reactivating the Galilee Protocol they begin to form a living Masterpiece of self-sacrificing love and service in a way that vindicates the rectitude, justice, and moral excellence, of God's holy law. When the forces of the enemy are at their strongest, at a time when every possible inducement to evil is arrayed against them, God's faithful stand strong and pure. They keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.⁶

Just as when Christ Himself walked the earth, divinity is clothed with humanity: this time in the person of a purified church. They are His temple, filled with the Shekhinah glory—His character!

The current condition of humanity, the ecumenical moving of faith groups, the general tendency of political activity, and the lateness of the hour, all present an unprecedented urgency. This urgent situation requires that the principles of the great controversy be boldly brought to focus. The Galilee Protocol strictly follows Christ's city-centric missionary approach to build a highly visible, deliberate contrast between the principles of this world, and those of God's government.

Through a decidedly missionarial process, the Galilee Protocol asserts the two great principles of God's law—worship to God and service to man.⁷ This plan ^tactically combines works of kindness and mercy with a tough-love judgment-hour warning to present the character of Christ: “The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty.”⁸

The Galilee Protocol is an urgent intervention plan. It sounds the alarm to the people of this world: that unless they turn to the Great Physician for physical healing; enroll in the School of Christ for restoration of their mind; and come to Christ (the only Mediator between God and man)⁹ for spiritual regeneration; the judgments of God are soon to fall upon them. In these final moments of reprieve, the offer of salvation is free to all. To whosoever will,¹⁰ God promises to “restore in man the image of his Maker, to bring him back to the perfection in which he was created, to promote the development of body, mind, and soul, that the divine purpose in his creation might be realized.”¹¹

“Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease among the people.”¹² The Galilee Protocol operates as three primary elements: educational, ministerial, and medical; it uses specific activity to present Jesus as man's only hope for mental, spiritual, and physical restoration.

The Directives are program absolutes. While some things are negotiable, others are not. We cannot negotiate the directives. They come from clear instructions from God and if neglected, altered or modified constitute insubordination and disobedience. In order to maintain the integrity of the Galilee Protocol, we must carefully and completely follow the directives of The Galilean.

The Galilee Protocol has six primary directives:

• City-centric: Christ said that He was sent to preach to the cities. We will see that this is our work too.
• Missionarial: Christ worked as a missionary, sacrificing everything for the benefit of humanity. We will see why this is how we must work too.
• Provocative: Christ did not work quietly behind the scenes. His work and message demanded attention. Today the world's focus must be captured by Christ's disciples.
• Advocative: Though provocative, Christ made it very clear that He was an advocate for man. We must present Christ as the sinner's best friend and only hope.
• Representative: “Christ is waiting with longing desire for the manifestation of Himself in His church. When the character of Christ shall be perfectly reproduced in His people, then He will come to claim them as His own.”¹³ There must be a revival of primitive godliness¹⁴ in the lives of His messengers. In our lives, we need to reverse the popular war against Christian standards.
• Organized: “Diligent work is now called for. In this crisis, no halfhearted efforts will prove successful. In all our city work, we are to hunt for souls. Wise plans are to be laid, in order that such a work may be done to the best possible advantage.”¹⁵
