[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 monitor our movements and businesses.
Purpose
- 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 they aim to start).
- Leaders within the movements measure qualitative and quantitative indicators of their churches and businesses all through coaching relationships. They do this once a year.
- Coaches and local leaders have access to the information, so it can be used in the movements for coaching.
