The first time I saw this video I laughed my head off. (I love this kind of humor)
Do you use models for the creation/tweaking/developing of your ministry? Models are key to any organization or company’s success anywhere. There are thousands of models out there that work for specific communities/churches. The question is, which model is best for your organization? Or do you need to create your own model? One that has never been seen before.
Here are some tips:
Know why you use models
They can be easy to change
They make complex ideas simple
They help you and your team see the vision
They can display all the possibilities of growth
Know the dangers of models
People can get the wrong assumptions
They can portray perfection
People can get stuck doing things one way
Know how to implement models
When creating models allow for team input
Build a culture that gives permission to make mistakes
Find an organization that is already doing something similar to what you want to accomplish and pick their brain.
I would love to hear from you on how you have used a model to help create your existing paradigm in ministry.
