This link has eight threads that can be used to help get them thinking about being self sufficient.
Many of them dont know what to do so can we help them by either posting these 8 posts into their forums or something like this? Many dont have Supervisors, and only a few Staff Members are left or around, please help them...
And post here which teams you are aiding OK?
I dont care if you are a Sup, SM or Mod at this point, if there is a forum that hasnt been helped please help them:pray:
:hug:Thanks sooooo much you guys for all your faithful sevice.... These members will be ready to take on their own issues and accomplish sooooo much more with just a little more help from us and I soooooo appreciate all you have done and are doing to help them:groupray:
If you didnt get my PM about this please let me know and I will send it to you .....With all the coding and stuff going on, a few of my PMs didnt make it to some of you...actually I will post it here but consider it a personal PM from my heart ok not just another post....much of it will be repeated to the forum members in the first link abovehttp://www3.christianforums.com/images/icons/icon12.gif To my Sups, SMs and Mods...we can help them begin to help themselves...a strategy
I have something for us to do....
Some of us have already begun this in our home areas but we need to help the other areas of ET as well
We need to start to help them organise into a group that self moderates or self leads however you want to call it.....In other words, except for manually training them for Moderation which will happen after elections are done, we need to start treating them all as staff members and get them thinking as such, they need to start preparing for many things that Erwin said would be their responsibility once this ball gets rolling
1.They need to start to recognize who makes good leaders(servants) in their group and begin to dialogue with those people and be excited about becoming a part of those motivated to lead.....
2. They need to begin to dialogue about how they will handle the changes that will happen shortly, and move toward constuctively making plans that will build on what Erwin has said will be the vision of this place in a few months.
Some examples:
A. How to welcome in the unbeliever and establish a positive atmosphere for them so these people will feel like apart of their group as they come in.
B. Discuss the manner in which they will behave toward these people of other Faiths and unbelievers, as they venture in to their domain, and get them to work toward finding a common ground of acceptable behavior and form a few FSRs for that behavior which is absolutely unacceptable.
C. How to maintain their Identity as Denominations and Faith groups with in CF and still be an open group to the lost. What is their faith statement? Do they agree with that? What is their mission now? New goals? Resurrected Goals that were lost along the way?
D. What is really important to them? What is the one thing they would like to hold onto? What are they ashamed of that they would like to see end right now as this new CF is being formed?
E. Begin to think about FSRs that will help them with their absolutes, things they will absolutely not budge on ...These will be based on the things they are most afraid of happening because of these changes, things that will compromise them or make them feel hopeless that their forum will fall apart if they dont have.... these rules are their "safety net"... Dont solidify them as law yet but just have them in mind so as a group they will be ready to present them to Erwin or whoever he has in charge.
3.This is all new to them and they need to be encouraged that it will be a higher calling than they have ever had and they will be both ministers and leaders to many who come in seeking Lord, now is a good time to talk about what their role will be in their forums and what they can offer their group....
I have no idea how Erwin will change this place, and how he will train us all in running this place, but I do know the burden will be theirs and we need to get them ready for that....
Grab your team and go over these ideas and begin.
If you have any other ideas I will post this in the Ark and we can use them as well ....The better equipped these forums are the better this place will look when the doors open and when the new CF gets off the ground....
If you see a forum that has no Supervisor and you would like to volunteer to help them then go for it....
Remember our goal is to train so well, we can be replaced when the time comes...It is a sacrifice of love and selflessness that we need now more than anything.... If our love for this place is real (and I know it is:)) this will be our last labor of love as well
(of course there is the hope that many of our members will keep us around and I bet many will:hug:)
I love you all and thank you for staying,
