Sharing & prayer requests
Sarah. baby
Andy fishing, FD, prayer requests: lots of hours, lots of stuff to do, back to school dash tomorrow, overwhelmed. Chapter - one person dropped out of vision team. chapter pres & treasurer just got married, volunteer for women's ministry.
Tara and Ben had a good summer, lots of weekends. Marshfield starts this week. 1st Baptist in Medford. Bad FD summer (lost a lot of one time donors). Chapter: recruiting from local churches.
Live Above web site (Jim Lundgren).
Bob: SLT summer, good for family. A lot of teaching. Good for soph. and juniors. Recruitment and funding of new staff. New GB volunteer. Amy has met regularly with volunteers. Prayer: funding concerns. .
Monthly reports.
We have to do it. Deadlines: 2nd of each month ministry tool planner due. Latest on 5th. Get used to turning it in, even if it is not all filled in. Need to ramp up. MUST be CCd to Tim. If in crisis mode for FD, it all must be filled in. FD part doesn't need to be filled in except for the summary part. Staff profile is the part that actually matters -- budget is just advisory and aren't really used. FD folder blue, available online. Keep presentations short, only pull stuff out when they ask or need to see it. Business people don't generally want to see line item budgets, but rather how you spend your time (as a percentage, say). Not just a summary in an email, has to be in the Ministry Planner Tool.
Reimaging Evangelism
training. DVDs and book. They put a lot of money in this.
NSO Checklist
Get the NSO checklist handout from Bob. Participation level question a good one. See web page, http:www.intervarsity.org/studentsoul/item/nso
John Rockman has some good stuff up there about catching the vision (not just strategy). Reality check. There is some stuff from LU.
Bob is not big on brochures, rather business cards (teaser invites to the website).
Supervisory
Meeting with spouse, dinner perhaps. Set up supervisory days -- split with Sarah. Expectations: sitting in student appointments not best use of time, but more concentrated one on one with supervisor (mixture). Bob not available to speak right now.
