The Ministry Appreciation and Participation Toolkit or MAP Toolkit for pastors and ministry leaders has been created to stir up church ministries’ participation and appreciation. – Jonan Castillon
If you read my previous posts on the MAP Toolkit, you might probably ask what it can do to your church or a specific ministry.
Like any tool, the MAP Toolkit’s overall purpose is to be an instrument to accomplish a task and church ministry management in our context.
One of the tasks of the pastor or ministry leader is what Paul reminded Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:6, to “fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you.”
The MAP Toolkit has tools that will help accomplish the task of keeping the passion for ministry burning in the church and the community.
Initially, I have identified four things that the toolkit could do. I believe that we will discover more as we use the MAP Toolkit.
The MAP Toolkit seeks to:
- Generate information sets that are necessary for a consistent and sustainable church planning and ministry implementation.
- Discover and appreciate the indigenous faith-wisdom of the church.
- Develop the dynamics of the church from a pastor-centered (or leadership-centered) congregation to a participatory and empowered congregation.
- Guide the church in realising and affirming the gifts of every member.
