Old Thoughts

  • When new comers come on Sunday, they should be plugged into one of the ministries.
  • There should be a gradual transition between each of these ministries
    • There should be a plan

military analogy

  • lots of little battle units with generals (organizing their own missions)
  • no admirals strategizing and giving plans and orders for overall war plan.
    • to make a plan, you need to know what is happening on the war fronts.
      • what are the needs
      • successes, losses
    • no communications between the admiral and generals. Regular Reporting or admiral needs to touch base with generals.
    • Strategies include adding reinforcements, providing moral support to troops, changing targets, programs etc.
