[Pro 27:23 NKJV] 23 Be diligent to know the state of your flocks, [And] attend to your herds;
[Dan 11:33 NKJV] 33 “And those of the people who understand shall instruct many; yet [for many] days they shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity and plundering.
[Pro 24:3 NKJV] 3 Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established;
[Hos 4:14 NKJV] 14 “I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry, Nor your brides when they commit adultery; For [the men] themselves go apart with harlots, And offer sacrifices with a ritual harlot. Therefore people [who] do not understand will be trampled.
We are striving to evaluate and support our movements and businesses.
Vision
- Serve the local church planters and leaders to evaluate the growth, maturity and sustainability of their churches and businesses.
- Provide insight, tools and coaching to accelerate what is good and strengthen what is weak.
Why is evaluation and monitoring important?
- Helps us to see if we are on track fulfilling our vision and mission – making disciples and train leaders to ignite church planting movements.
- Helps us to identify what to pray for.
- Helps to see victories and rejoice (encouragement).
- Helps to see where the problems are and how to deal with them (identify setbacks).
- Helps what to focus on in the churches/movements.
- Helps to identify whom to train.
- Helps to vision cast for new areas to reach.
- Helps to share stories with others (also donors).
Process
- Leaders create an engagement plan once a year on several indicators (e.g. people groups they want to reach, amount of churches and businesses they aim to start).
- The data is immediately available for the coaches and local leaders and can be used to coach more effectively.
Each year, our leaders, together with a coach, complete a report detailing the qualitative and quantitative indicators of their churches and businesses. Please note that these numbers are constantly changing and, by the time of this writing, may already be outdated. Additionally, we partner with several local organizations that have existing churches and networks. We do not claim credit for their work, although in some cases their figures are included in our reporting. Our intention in sharing these numbers is not to boast, but to track progress, learn, and ultimately give glory to God.
