of the story

“how we shared our vision with 1,300 people”

Finding our path towards a

successful community building &

outreach environment:

Personal confidence

genuine commitment

Grass roots focused culture

Effective tools

(publications, events, education, training, etc)

Workable strategies

Making my life authentic

We want each other to be

successful in every aspect of

our lives: In our relationships

In our careers

In our outreach

If we have a holistic approach then each aspect of our life becomes an integral part of our ‘mission’.

the community builders proposal

Receive practical and moral one to one support

Be part of a team of people who share a similar vision and keep each other on track

As a community we are committed to developing quality platforms for members to stand on when reaching out

The skeleton sign up: make a commitment

Believe that you can build a community

Do something each week to reach out

Go through the pick and mix options so far on offer to get the support you need (see next slide)

Be aware of the flexibility to: reassess from time to time what is working and what needs to change for you

get a taste for community building

Join a fortnightly community builders group meeting

Receive 30 minutes of coaching by phone or Skype each week

Distribute 2 autobiographies each week

Start a small group that meets regularly.

Join the organised outreach & teaching that takes place in & around 43LG on Fridays, Wednesdays & Saturdays.

Fundraising with the Rising Tide magazine to witness and raise funds for community building projects.

the intention:

To develop a model where the church building is not the only centre of influence, but the members and families of our congregation also become the centres of influence - a better balance in our community structure through gradual decentralisation.

‘Outreach’ becomes broader and joined up to building communities with in our community that meet people’

I am able to build up my own community of people through the different avenues of life that I walk down each day.

That I can care for these people and eventually bring some of them to study the Principle and receive the Blessing.

That over a period of time I find one person who would like to duplicate what I am doing as a community builder.
