You know, it really is no simple task to spin up a training program in your Districts. Doing all the coordination with the DS, office staff, PLD Pastors and potential candidates just to name a few, at the same time preparing yourselves to effectively facilitate quality sessions of a leadership program designed to orchestrate change in dynamic and exciting ways. Yet that is exactly what you have done – and I celebrate your great gift to the mission of our church, the wonderful servant leaders you are and who you are working with as we keep moving forward, Amen!
As part of our understanding of the changes our spiritual culture has undergone and continues to wrestle with like the discussions we will hear in the Session 2 of the LLD curriculum, the demographics associated with our congregations and communities is a key insight – ahhh, insight, like MissionInsite.
Those of you familiar with this tool may benefit from a quick refresher, and the rest of us leading this session for the first time may be looking for a little help, so here you go. The following link on the Missouri Conference webpage gives you the step by step directions to this valuable tool. If after going through the instructions you still have questions feel free to contact me, or Ms. Tammy Calcote at the Conference Office (our resident expert in all things Mission-Insightful). Here’s the link.

Have a great session, and as always – Thank you for your servant leadership!
Leaders Tip – Here’s a great idea offered up from one of our most seasoned facilitators, and all around great guy Larry Fagan. Prior to each session, in most cases soon after each session Larry sends an encouraging e-mail to all the class participants and includes about a dozen “fill in the blank” questions from the next book in the series to assist in the intentional reading of the text. Many of those who use Larry’s dozen comment how it really helped in their reading and added to their discussions. Remember, we’re not doing book reports during our sessions but these types of creative ways to enhance our learning are so very valuable to those we lead – Thanks Larry!
