• Leading in the Digital Age: Embracing the Unknown, Pursuing the One, and Empowering Your Team

  The world we live in today is characterized by an unprecedented population size and greater connectivity than ever before.

  This presents a unique opportunity for the Global Church to reach people for Christ. However, it is not enough to simply have the tools we must also have strong leadership to guide us in leveraging them effectively.

  In this talk, I share leadership insights gained from years of experience, focusing on five key areas for leaders to remember when leading in the Digital Age:

  • Stepping forward and embracing the unknown
  • Driving for clarity
  • Setting the tone
  • Pursuing the one
  • Empowering the team

  We also need to remind ourselves of the importance of our mission as the Church: to lead people to Christ. They emphasize that we must be a light in this dark world, handpicked and empowered by God to pursue those who are hurting and lost.

  The talk concludes with a prayer for those who lead in this season, that they may experience God's presence, feel the weight of their responsibility lifted, and be empowered to fulfill their mission of leading people to Christ."

• Building a Strong Online Ministry: Practical Strategies for Churches

  With the rise of digitalization, having an online presence has become a necessity for churches. However, many church leaders struggle with where to start and how to improve the effectiveness of their online ministry. Here are five proven strategies that can be implemented over the next five weeks to elevate the reach and impact of your online ministry.

  • Firstly, having a clear and compelling vision is critical to determine the direction of the ministry and guide goal achievement. The vision should align with the values of the church and serve the community being served.

  • Secondly, intentional communication that makes attendees feel welcome and part of the church community is essential. Assessing language and tone used in online services from a new person's perspective helps to foster relationships and a sense of belonging.

  • Thirdly, texting services should convey warmth and friendliness to ensure attendees feel valued and welcomed into the community.

  • Fourthly, leveraging social media by focusing on building relationships rather than just making announcements is crucial. Each platform has a specific focus that churches can leverage.

  • Lastly, prioritizing tasks based on their impact and the effort required is necessary. Ideas that require little effort but have a high impact should be given priority.

  In conclusion, implementing these five steps can help create an effective online ministry. If you have any questions or need further help, don't hesitate to reach out for assistance."
