Purpose statement

Prayer is our first and main work for everyone, but it helps to have someone who thinks only for this and works to nurture more prayer for Link as a whole.

Summary of goals

There is flexibility in exactly what this role does. But here are some ideas…

  1. Tuesday night prayer
    1. Confirming list. Confirming if current list of folks interested in prayer want to be on a reminder email about Tuesday night zoom prayer (I’d set up an automated email or text to remind them each Tuesday)
    2. Inviting those who are serving (e.g. military, board, bible study leaders, D&D, ESL team, etc.) to join us so we can pray over them (we can provide a list and script).
  2. Coordinating or thinking for Link wide prayer retreats.
  3. Responding to those who have expressed interest in prayer (similar to above)
  4. Sending prayer requests to those who have asked for them
  5. Providing or coordinating prayer coaching
  6. Debrief those who have been praying (e.g. for a specific ESL class or in other ways)
  7. Thinking for strategic prayer mobilization

Details

Example script for those who have expressed interest in prayer:

  • Want prayer reminder for Tues nite?

  • Do you want to think about it?
  • Shall we keep you on prayer interest list?

ESL School Welcome Team

Our ESL Schools are our most important venue for demonstrating the love of Christ to new international friends. It requires many different functions to support the small groups (ESL Classes) that meet. The members of the Operations Team provide that.

The ESL School Support Team is unique in that there are a variety of roles or “hats” that need to be worn if the School is going to be sustainable and students and volunteers are not going to fall through the cracks. Each team member will wear more than one hat and may take them on and off even during the course of one session of School on a given day.

Functions / goals the ESL School needs in order to love well. This does not include overall ESL ministry roles that cover both Schools such as mobilization, pedagogy, training, etc.

We all long to see our halls and classrooms filled with students. But before we run out to try and find new students, we need to steward well the ones God has already entrusted to us.
