In
the Communications and Media areas we really need those that can 'beard the lion' to get
'free' or inexpensive radio and/or TV spots for our 'promos'.
A
key area is the obtaining of visibility and participation of THE CHURCH and DENOMINATIONS
for adopting Village Evangelists. We need at least one person to coordinate the 'attack'
and one person per denomination to 'carry the CDP flag' to them.
How can this be accomplished? Well, there are
tried and true older methods that still work. Also, with e-mail so inexpensive and
effective (as well as quite universally used), we can readily coordinate our efforts to
e-mail formats and storage criteria, -- using our present WEB
SITE as a starting point and for general ministry information exchange.
As the Lord speaks to you about one or more of
these areas, please contact us by telephone, FAX,
mail or e-mail so we can explore with you where you can best participate in this great
enterprise for His Kingdom!
Hopefully, we will get a number of responses for
each area of need, allowing a team effort to be developed for each key area.
One
of our objectives is to provide a very convenient and readily used management tool, suited
for e-mail/Internet exchanges -- allowing many Team-Outreach members to develop
significant inputs to Outreach, thereby multiplying our CDP effectiveness in the villages
of India
Visibility
to new contacts is a very important factor. Every one of us has a different cadre of
people/organizations that we know and can potentially contact -- it opens up many
opportunities for potential Adopters of Village Evangelists. -- much, much better than
going at it 'cold-turkey'! If you have innate skills for 'cold turkey' contacts -- you
indeed are a prime person! -- please contact us!
The
management tool (Team-Outreach) being developed has a simple semi-hierarchical structure
-- it presents "all" the tasks which M/E Intl must regularly implement. --
rather, is/or desires to implement regularly!
The 'pieces'
of this structure are each named for ease of filing, locating, sorting, etc. The names are
presented below as itemized from A through F: (those needing primary consideration are
highlighted):-
