A Word of Encouragement (Video)

I have just completed the series on the purpose of the Partnership Facilitator and it such a great resource to remind me to work with a developmental mindset. This involves breaking the traditional approaches to facilitation and aim at making the church a better partner in achieving the expected outcomes. I love the reflection activities which is a continuous practice, I need to have period activity reviews to keep me on course.

A partnership facilitator, who is expected to be a primary liaiason to the local church and responsibilbe for strengthening local ownership, building the capacity and resources of local church partners to minister to children and youth in their own contexts, needs to be very visionary as well! This PF should cause the partners to dream big and where possible cause them to make wide range of developmental choices and challenge them to share these choies/plans with their communities for greater support.

This preamble is very thrilling! it is very vivid that there should be a mindset shift in the way we conduct business as Partnership Facilitators. It can no longer be business as usual! We have to deal away with the " Usually" mentality. We ought to be ready to learn and run. As Partnership facilitators, relationship building and credibility, team work/collaborative skills are skills that we all need as we serve. I appreciate the new way of learning- not just to finish but reflect and take action. I appreciate all the friends who have posted their comments. Thank you!
