Step 1:
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Schedule a kickoff meeting to present the GIC campaign to your
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
church leadership (board, elders, committees, etc.). This will be your
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
opportunity to share with them the campaignΓÇÖs objective and to remind
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
them of the synergy thatΓÇÖs created when, for a specified period of time,
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
everyone studies and discusses the same themes and materials. If your
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
church has never done a campaign of this type before, you may want to
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
invite a pastor friend who has done one to come and share its benefits
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
with your group.
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Step 2:
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
At the presentation, preview the themes for the six weeks on the
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
CD-ROM or on the website at www.godIscloserthanyouthink.com. In
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
addition, show the DVD video segment of John OrtbergΓÇÖs first small group
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
session and let them see the participantΓÇÖs guide for groups and/or Sunday
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
school classes. The more information they have up-front, the greater their
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
excitement about what God could do through the congregationΓÇöand in
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
their own lives!
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Be sure that you have support of the vast majorityΓÇöespecially those
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
individuals who carry the greatest influence in the church. Their ownership
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
is important. But remember, your personal passion for the GIC campaign
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
likely will influence your churchΓÇÖs leadership the most. Once you have
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
leadershipΓÇÖs buy-in, itΓÇÖs time to start the subsequent phases of preparation.
