Duration: 60 minutes
Prerequisite: CCBT Intensive Overview & Church-Centric Funding general session
Focus of Session: Church-Centric Funding is essential to carrying out the work of the Church. Resources require prayer and financial support. Communication plays a key role in creating a network of prayer and financial support. This session will develop strategies for creating content to influence and grow the network for prayer and financial support.
Method: Cooperative group activities
Objectives: Participants will be able to…
Obj: Elicit background knowledge about church-centric prayer support and funding
Talking Circles activity: Number participants off by twos. Have all of the 1s stand in a circle (or straight line, depending on space). Have all of the 2s stand in a concentric circle on the outside of the 1s (or in an opposite line). Instruct the circles to face each other.
Remind them of the elevator pitches they created about CCBT. Give them 1 minute to remember or create a new elevator pitch “Describe the work that God is doing through CCBT.” Tell them to begin: The “1” will give their pitch, and then the “2” will give their pitch. Allow only 2 minutes for each person to do this. Silence the group. Instruct the 1s to stand in place. Instruct the 2s to shift one person to their left. Repeat the process for as many times as you find helpful for the group.
Obj: Generate ideas for content creation
Post the question: What content do we create to grow our network?
Divide into groups of 3-5. Give each group poster paper and markers.
