The process of Agenda1
This is how we do it (the hand of Agenda1):
We invite each church to send a team of 4 to 5 leaders including the main pastor. The teams from different churches gather together two times a year for two days each time. Agenda1 will not work for pastors by themselves or for leader teams without the main pastor.
We seek God’s leadership in Agenda 1. We will always spend time in worship and prayer and will read God’s word. We will also pray for and minister to each other.
There are three main parts to the process:
• Evaluation – where are we today, what works well and what can be better?
• New ideas – we look at new possibilities that can help us reach more people for Jesus.
• Plan – we make an action plan for the next 6 months. What do we want to do now?
In Agenda1, everyone needs to participate. After the teachings, we have discussions in the teams. The pastor needs to ask each person what they think. Then the teams share what they have talked about with the other teams.
