I understand that any organization of ministers need to see and know the effectiveness of their agents and people on the ground. What if our reports were less number oriented (not devoid of numbers) and more subject oriented?Here is the outline of my monthly ministerial report that I am required to submit. I post it as an alternative to the norm.—
There always will be a toss up to decide if a report can easily be digitized. I cannot imagine this form for a report if there is a field of 10,000+ participants.Since I no longer report to anyone I do not have any idea what is important for statistics the essay answers seem hard to manage.No doubt they are good, I just see them as cumbersome. Also living under a rock for many years the terms are unfamiliar. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
Thank you, Cojak. Your point is spot on, but we live in a system that some say is impersonal and numbers driven. If we were back on the district format that was alive and healthy when I was growing up in the CofG it might be palatable to be more personally interested in what was going on with the working class. Alas, en masse, it is difficult to imagine, but I do wish there were a way to be plugged into personal growth, personal needs and spiritual life among the ministers community________________Live an epiK life!Discover More…www.refocusing.orgA Mission in Formationwww.bluewaterinthekeys.com
Aye, there should be at least one entry concerning personal growth or aside from numbers:# saved____#sanctified____#filled with HG___Added to the church___It would have been nice to add something other than goose eggs to my report. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
