Thursday Morning
John 15 - friends not servants

If you have an empty field, how do you fill it?

Nodes get DNS and nutrients from the mother plants... locally sunlight, air, some nutrients, water Can cover a large area - largest organism on earth covers 100 acres and is a fungus that grows via stolons

Using this as a model - how can we plant new teams?
 * eg Liverpool
 * SOE - dna, resources - training, money?
 * local - opportunities, friends, some money, pastoral,
 * stubbornness and redundancies - weeds are good at this

What could we have got/needed to start a new place?

Can we make a network of people who can help (25 people to go and visit...)?

Thursday morning

 * 1) What ought we get/may we get/should we get from the sending base
 * HAS ANY NEW TEAM HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE BEING SENT OUT AND SUPPORTED BY ANOTHER BASE?
 * Pre-training: management skills
 * Initially: funding for travel, basic admin, some resources, outreach
 * Long term less funding
 * On going training and support
 * Ongoing visit and prayer
 * Broad strategy supporting what we do - sense that we are making a part of the whole
 * Evaluation, Appraisal - help with
 * help with communications, fundraising
 * d - not to be dropped off face of planet
 * d - ongoing regular mentoring
 * d - finances: little admin money, money for ongoing staff training, travel budget for people to us for people from us, money for rent of meeting place, money for communications
 * K - base needs a budget for visiting you...
 * K - start up capital and on going decreasing support for 3 years. Crisis support
 * J - loving father support - stones, snakes - not "Spiritual abuse" (Steve Jones problem)
 * J - people often who start stuff are the hard headed Absalom's and can marginalise themselves (and can they reproduce their success) Dandelion seeds not stolons
 * d - support legally and org from central place
 * J - how to make relational networks
 * J - sent out with nothing in pocket and restrictions
 * J - we are autonomous - this has strengths (freedom) and weakness (drop off face of earth)
 * J - if a base says we love you and sends out but no support then it is not love (give monthly money, send a weekly dts team)
 * J - blessed and let go with freedom
 * STEVE: memo of understanding independent of circumstances. Relationship - structure and agreement - survives the movements of leaders and loss of relationship. Helps stop the swerve to rot.
 * 1) Get locally?
 * Some money
 * lots of opportunities
 * Some pastoral support
 * need to rely fully on locals - what can local society help and offer to team
 * stay in a place and be connected to that place - seeking out the Men of Peace and other strategic people.
 * each team has different needs - ie good local mentors and pastoral support
 * not to be dependant on another base but going with support that enables you to embed yourself well in your new area
 * 1) What can we get from a network?
 * Encouragement - KEEPING THE FIRE BURNING
 * Peer ideas and knowledge of what works
 * Others to encourage, others to travel to
 * Prayer
 * Evaluation, Appraisal - help with
 * NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A LOCAL SUPPORT
 * J - reflecting on idea of 25 people. Here's a list of people you might really want to meet with regularly.
 * K - perhaps add in from KB the things people are good at so you can pull on the people you need.
 * J - if you have no money how can you get people to come and visit!
 * K - links important you miss them in a nation where they are not developed
 * J - creating collaborative weeks of other little teams
 * J - Network that provides regular perspective and relationship
 * D - Relating to people 2-3 years down the line is better than relating to people 15 years down the line
 * J - creating gatherings of like minded people yearly. get encouragement, get a bigger dynamic, celebration. Plenty of relational people time.
 * K - sharing knowledge and information of whats working, teaching deeper principles to each other and how it is fleshed out e.g. Jonny's Forgiveness curriculum, (Robert D Enright PhDg - world renown Christian expert in evangelism)
 * J - keep international focus - go and visit people doing good stuff overseas.
 * need to stretch ourselves faithwise as we start out
 * J - dealing with peoples perceptions of YWAM all the time and this is prob not all unjustified - we let people crash and burn and suffer the bad PR!
