FOCUS Leadership Team Meeting Structure

I have a friend who is way too smart. He's not easy to impress. He was impressed by my 'naff' way of running a FOCUS leadership meeting. He thinks I should blog it. So here goes.

1. Teaching.

I teach a 'why we do what we do' at FOCUS from the Bible (otherwise they'll get assumed and then get forgotten and then opposed when they resurface).

2. Training.

We read a paper on an aspect of Asian culture and reflect on it theologically and pastorally.

3. Tips.

I give a tip or ask the leaders to give a tip on relating to Asians and/or people in general. I often skip this because I'm behind time.

4. Telling.

I tell the leaders all that has been happening with FOCUS while they were hard at work with their study or jobs.

5. Talking.

We discuss a couple of FOCUS items I've prepared and / or items they've prepared.

Impressed?
