Digital offers a completely different visibility to how people are connected (to our us/our
properties), how they are growing and who is helping them grow.
Every number has a name, every name has a story, and every story matters to God.
Principle 1: People are on a journey, we get to join God’s work in their life
- Your personal journey to Christ involved many touchpoints with many people.
- Even in a traditional model, people go through a (long) process where they connect with
different people, resources, opportunities (pathways) to come to where they are.
- Digital gives us visibility into many of the touchpoints
- both offline and online in a person’s journey
- the people (plural) connected with a person on their journey
- Some of the people may never be connected (at all!) to our field ministries, but would be
on a journey through our digital properties.
Principle 2: The focus in the Known and Moving Model is on the user and their next best
step
- We want to share the gospel, but our research indicates that the people we are starting
from a starting point that is much further back. Making a “gospel presentation” might not
be the most helpful step for the person in process. Sharing the gospel is important, but
sometimes asking a question and developing a relationship is just as important or more
important. (See journey grid, research based).
- This next best step might be with a variety of people, not just one specific person,
- Doni: Our tendency is - everything needs to be done with me. It’s ‘my’ disciple.
Remember the principle: Paul planted, Apollos watered, God caused the growth
(1 Cor 3:6)
- The focus is on seeing spiritual growth over time.
- in LMI the focus is on the activities that the agent of the organization does, in K&M
the focus is on the activities of the user that is journeying with the organization.
Principle 3:
Issues / Challenges:
Our set-up of GMA and the related expectations that come with is forcing the issue. It’s causing
us to ‘own’ our disciples.
GMA
- the focus in on the organization staff/person - because they are required to report their
activities
- the focus is on the organization, not the 10x discipleship thinking. Our volunteers will never be
motivated to ‘report’, but they are motivated to use apps/tools that add value to them.
(e.g. Beach’s story: the Pastor who used GodTools who lead 23 people to Christ. That Pastor is
not going to report into the GMA.)
Questions:
Is the ‘Guide’ in K+M framework the closest equivalent to the ‘CMDs’ that we are looking for?
