Key Performance Indicators
KPIs are a great way to focus a team. The church is a delicate marriage between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of this world. As such we need KPIs which reflect God's values otherwise, we might drift off and only count money and attendance. Once you see this, you need to ask how can we quantify the coming of the kingdom of God? One simple KPI for us therefore is miracles. How many miracles have people reported at our group? So far, we have 6! Miracles here mean what people see as God's action. Prayers answered etc.
Notice what Matters
God has prompted us to plant a tree or a plant for every miracle that is reported at LMHG. Therefore we're liaising with the council to get permission to have a monthly tree planting event in Rosewall Reserve - Please pray for this. This will be a lasting memorial of thanks to God for His work in our lives, a bit like the Israelites building a monument of rocks to remember God's action as they crossed the Jordan river in Joshua 4.
What is winning today?
 |
| Ad in Northerly Aspects in June |
We see the win for us is to stay strong and keep offering hospitality, dinner, warmth, friendship, discussion, teaching and prayer every Sunday. Also the win is to keep promoting LMHG. This means trying new ways of reaching out to our neighbourhood. Churches don't seem to do this very well but we are committed to it. We have distributed 3000 flyers, and taped them to bus stops. We have the ad above going into a local community publication in June. We will soon make a new flyer and we're keen to keep talking about the reality of Jesus and the work He does in our lives in our advertising.
The Financials
 |
| The 'Business Model' of our plan |
Christine and I fund this ministry from the 10% tithe from our salaries as teachers. The weekly costs are roughly as follows:
Rental of hall $60
Food $20
Publicity $20
Total costs $100
Our weekly tithe is a bit over this, so we're right. Once the group grows, we expect people will contribute some money as thank offerings to God. There is also an opportunity for our supporters to give to help us grow God's kingdom. We have received financial gifts from some lovely friends already and we're very grateful for their generous support.
How you can help:
 |
| Our May Flyer |
1. Pray for God's kingdom to be established in people's lives in Corio
2. Join our team to help love the locals
3. Contribute financially. We want to make make a new flyer and helping us with $100 for that publishing adventure for June would be AMAZING. Flyers with more words work better but they cost more.
