tVB 79:2 BECOMING A BETTER CHURCH WORKER











CHURCH WORK TRAINING:

Every single day, Pastors, Church Leaders, and Church Congregations desire particular Work Skills and Capabilities functioning in their Church's Workforce. This need CAN be transformed from a question and need into a daily, practical feature!

Our focus here in A Better Church Worker (WDS 3) is that aspect of your Pastor's Vision (or Assignment) that particularly relates to Quality and Effectiveness of Appointed leaders and other Workers, and especially how their work operations affect your church family.

I will share from what I have seen, learnt, done and experienced in Organizational and Workforce Development, Church Work and Leadership for at least three decades.

I will be speaking more to Appointed Leaders, Volunteer Workers, and paid Staff of local churches, as church work matters generally relates to them. A calling to Teach and Train combined with my functioning on these three levels over the years gives me a measure of authority on this Topic.

NECESSITIES FOR EFFICIENT CHURCH WORK
1) Work Experience
2) Efficient Workforce And Work Processes

WORK EXPERIENCE

Work Experience is necessary to achieve and sustain consistent efficiency in Church Work. In fact, in any kind of Work! Experience is 'Event(s) of which one is cognizant; Activity which one has performed; Collection of events and/or activities from which an individual or group may gather knowledge, opinions, and skills'.
WHY CHURCH WORK REQUIRE 'WORK EXPERIENCE'
a) The required 'Work Experience' is necessary to retain a growing, committed membership and sustain the attention of visitors and prospective members.
The supernatural power of God brought in thousands at the start-up of the Jerusalem church, but in Acts 6 the leadership and membership required efficient persons to serve tables, not only prayers!
First, INFORMED DIRECTION OF WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO DO IT WAS REQUIRED. The Apostles provided this direction in Acts 6:2-4. 'Informed direction' is Work Experience. The six appointed workers followed the Informed Directions of what needed to be done. The results were amazing. Not only did the disatisfied brethren become happier Church members, "…The word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith." (Acts 6:7) The Jerusalem church attracted more newly committed members into the fold!
A CHURCH IS FUNDAMENTALLY A CHARITY-BASED ORGANIZATION!
The lack of required 'Work Experience' necessary to gain and retain members, creates difficulties keeping the interests of visitors and new comers. Despite many visitor-trials, the result will be constant declining visitor interests. Eventually visitors will be ‘pushed out’ of that church assembly's outreach span! In some cases, it could even be committed members being ‘pushed out’.
The Church Work processes required to retain church membership is no different from how a commercial venture retains its customers. What they call ‘Loyal Customers’, you call ‘Church Members Who Give’! What keeps Customers return again and again is also required to keep church members returning again and again. Pray, but never ignore the place of correct Church Workforce operations. That's what Prayer should empower so that every aspect of the divine assignment will be well done and successfully completed.
SALVATION & WORKFORCE OPERATIONS
Eternal salvation could never have come to mankind without correct workforce operations of those whom were divinely involved! On the workforce were Mary, Joseph, John the Baptist, his parents Zechariah and Elizabeth, the Disciples, and The Lord Jesus. Angels were also involved in delivering messages, right from informing Mary (Luke 1:26-38), to directing the three wise men (Matthew 2:1-12), up until the day Jesus Christ ascended in Acts 1:9-11. Very many others, although not mentioned, were also involved.
b) Where a Church assembly that lacks the required 'Work Experience' gets considerate attention and opportunities from interested visitors and prospective new members, it will still be kept on a customer-defined low-income level! Truth is, income comes in from people who are happy with the results they see in their own lives based on your church work!
Consider this:
For feeding, what do you regularly spend your monthly salary on?
Why do you avoid one brand but spend much more on another more expensive brand? It's probably offering you a better personal-benefit or greater satisfaction! Truth is, it is only your life-improving services that attract and retain people in your church as members, not expensive facilities!
2. EFFICIENT WORKFORCE AND WORK PROCESSES

These are vital factors for Church Work where 'Work Experience' is concerned! You must have and practice Efficient Workforce and Work Processes in order to attract and retain continued Volunteer Patronage from a sustained and growing Congregation (they are your customer-base!).

In the business world, manufacturers grapple with holding down customers who move to other brands of their product just for personal satisfaction. Church visitors and members are 'church customers' who desire and seek supernatural and economy-based empowerment as well. To help them meet their needs, your local church requires and must have, at least, basic work efficiency enough to deliver support services that keep your customer-base, or congregation, excited and satisfied enough to share their church experiences with other seekers who desire similar satisfaction.

tVB 36:2 CHURCH WORK TRAINING: CHURCH WORK & TEAM BUILDING LeadersTalk Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose. Luke 6:12-13 NKJV The Lord Jesus is our example in teamTbuilding. This was one of the very first things he did in ministry. You must realize that He had quite a large number of followers, but a time came when he hand­picked disciples. In other words, he raised and built a team. Now, building and maintaining effective church workers' teams is a time consuming and sensitive process particularly in ministry where the pressures of the moment are often intense. Most attempts at ministry team building don't work well, simply because leaders and workers fail to appreciate the effort that has to be invested in time and attention to detail. The truth is, when done well, teamwork contribut...

TVB 124: THE POWER IN YOUR HANDS! Part 2

BUSINESS TRAINING: POTENTIAL is A UNIQUE GIFT that each of us is born with. No one possesses a superior or inferior POTENTIAL compared with others. What we see in life is that certain among us choose to make such positive use of their innate POTENTIAL and achieve results that lift them to higher social and better financial pedestals than others. Many prefer to blame their current status on negative circumstances, harsh economic environment, the irresponsible actions and inactions of 'those-who-should-know'. However, truth is, each of us has already been packaged with more than enough to stand out very specially in life. The Lord Jesus encouraged us all in Matthew 5:45, "...For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust." (NKJV) Your POTENTIAL is already within you. You only need to apply it NOW to achieve your Business Start dreams! Let your Business POTENTIAL flow out from within you. You can be all...

CHURCH WORK TRAINING: LESSONS FROM A BETRAYER

Image
CHURCH WORK TRAINING: LESSONS FROM A BETRAYER   “And he went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him. Then He appointed twelve... and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. And they went into a house.” Mark 3: 13-19. To be called by god is a privilege, to be anointed an advantage, but to be found faithful is a strict prerequisite. The prerogative to choose and anoint is solely God’s, but the choice of faithfulness is totally yours. Scriptures show us that after prayer, Jesus called and ordained twelve apostles including Judas Iscariot. Indeed this name brings displeasure to many within and outside Christendom and this is perfectly understandable. He betrayed Jesus Christ. But before you throw your stone, please step back a bit. I believe that there a few lessons we can glean from this character and his time on Jesus’ crew. If you concur that God chooses in line with His purposes and plans for us, then Judas’ calling was no diff...
