Functions of ET

Step 1: Pray

The team serves God and His purposes; therefore, it must seek His will and ways in prayer at every step. The team may gather information and build a database of churches, organizations, groups, and demographic data, as needed, to seek God specifically.

Step2: Connect

The ET should continuously network to connect with key leaders and influencers within churches, organizations, and groups to introduce the Witnessing Framework. They attend networking events and look for every opportunity to build meaningful connections. The team may also create additional strategies to foster connections.

Step 3: Present

1. Present the vision, mission, and strategies.
2. Respond genuinely to their questions and concerns.
3. Help them understand the benefits of the Witnessing Framework.

a) Follow-up

Follow up with presentation attendees until they give a definitive positive or negative response regarding the Witnessing Framework.

b) Seek referral

If they are willing, ask them to refer others in their circle of influence who may benefit from the Witnessing Framework.

Step 4: Onboard and Support

The following are the steps to onboard Mobilizing Team. The witnessing framework is based on Jesus model, that is it is relationship based and not event based. Therefore, the steps ensures that the MT will have a clear understanding of the requirements.
