Where Can I Find...?
Mobile apps are great! Have you ever searched for something at Home Depot? I check signage, ask questions, even go to places I remember finding something previously…but I can’t find what I am looking for. That’s why mobile apps are great! On the app, I have tracked down what aisle it’s on, or even if it’s in stock. It’s nice to know things!
Personally, the adage knowledge is power has always had a double meaning to me. If knowledge & information are withheld, a leader can wield power (negatively) over others. If knowledge is shared, the whole group is empowered, lifted & informed. I like the latter explanation!
If you’re looking for resources as the missions mobilizer in your church…here are some things you need to know in order to access great resources!
Every Alliance church lists their missions point person on their annual report. Each local church missions mobilizer (MM) has access to a page of resources on the CMA website. Have you accessed this page? Plus, as an added resource tool, the Alliance app is free, and available in both Google and Apple platforms. Are you utilizing this app on your mobile device?
Each of our NCD missions team members is reaching out to local MMs in 2 prayer areas. This communication can flow both ways — you can reach out to them! They can walk you through the process of logging into the CMA MM page, or the “Missions Engagement Tool” with your own church. Have you dialogued with Nate, Josh, Janet, Jen or Alicia yet?
Knowledge is at your fingertips. There’s more on the NCD page for local missions mobilizers. Check it frequently as the suggested resources change, and links are revisited. The Alliance website has an overabundance of videos, stories and more…beyond the MM page. Check it often. The Alliance Life magazine is free, and a wonderful communication piece in print and online. Are your church leadership & missions teams utilizing it, while sharing it with people new to the Alliance?
Oh, you can always contact me directly, too. I’d be happy to field your questions & share what I know!
Now…where are the water filters for my refrigerator?
