“Log In”.

4. “My Info” is Disabled
Note the menu that has appeared across the top of the tracking system. Also note that the “My Info” tab is only to give church planters easy access to their info and is not enabled when you sign in as a facilitator.
Let’s click on the Planters tab.

5. Access various directories
Let me point out the various directories that are spread throughout the menu.
The first is the planter directory with their contact info and the second is the pictorial directory that will show you which church planters we have pictures of.

Under the “Facilitator” tab we have the facilitator directory.

7. - Church Plant & Sponsoring Church Directories

That’s all the directories, now let’s take a brief look at the various reports that are built into the tracking system.

Under the “Planters” tab we have a report of the most recent church planter prayer requests.

9. - Church Plant Start Dates
Under the “Churches” tab we have a report of the official start dates of the church plants along with some other significant dates. Having an official start date, helps the state convention and each association count a church plant only once and places it in a specific year.

The monthly reports are arranged alphabetically according to month. Click on any church planter’s name to open their report. You can use the edit button to edit their report if it’s needed.
By clicking on “Progress Report,” you get a progress report that you can edit by clicking on any church planter’s name.

12. - Monthly Highlights
If you place your cursor over “Monthly Highlights,” a drop down menu of months will appear. Click on a month, and the highlights of that month will appear for each church planter that submitted their monthly report online. It’s great for finding out what God is doing.

13. - Training Reports
