More on this case study in the workshop this afternoon
9:05 - 9:10 - Video
9:10 - 9:15 - What caught your attention/struck you?

3. One off?
Several countries started congregation based approaches in the late 1990s - Tanzania, Cambodia, Kenya, Rwanda, Peru
Throughout the early 00s, pilot projects matured, evidence began to be gathered of it’s impact, and learning shared and spread
In the later 00s early 10s approaches spread to many other countries with about 30% of work being church based, and most countries having some church based initiatives
Today Tearfund’s emphasis on a local church based approach now represents one of the core three pillars of its global strategy
WHY DO I TELL YOU THIS?
A congregational based approach can become mainstream within an organisation, but there are significant potential implications for an organisation that does this!
9:15 - 9:20 - Slide
9:20 - 9:30 - Get the participants to discuss and then suggest the implications of adopting a church based approach for an organisation?

7. How - Envisioning Leaders
How do you convince church leaders to take on something new like CCM?

8. How - Training, Learning and Supporting
Co-ordinators - Management, strategy, leadership
Trainers - Not always there from the start, (ToT consultants)
Facilitators - A pilot group (don’t go too big up to 30, 3/church) - Right churches (geography/dependency/conflict) and right people.
Coach and Mentor - ToT and all levels
Learning Communities - 2 levels: Facilitators and strategists
M+E - At the local community, at the project, at the strategic levels (See USB - LIGHT Wheel)

9. Respecting the Church - Hard Lessons
What should we watch out for? How might we harm the local church?
Projects vs lifestyle - Ownership, sustainability and discipleship
Dependency and Assets based approach - Money in and empowerment
Integral Mission Vs development - Christian distinctive and the witness of the church
Funding Sources - Overwhelming admin demands, model to fit church or church to fit model, distracting and focus of time
Contextualisation - Principles and details
