Updates on the Advanced CE Training

Training schedule: The training will be lasting eight days, 3 hours each day, with a 15’ break and a 15’ devotion led by Marlene.  The first three days Lise will be the facilitator with Marlene helping in devotion. The US team will join in on Monday 20^th, Lise has confirmed 10 participants (she will have to remind them). Lise has developed a trainer’s Manual and the participant’s handbook. She is making the final edits to the books.

Objectives: participants to have a marketing plan whatever the stage of their business is. The US team will help in bringing in a new and broader perspective to the subject.

Logistics: are to be bought today Monday 13^th, Jamie will bring the chairs to be used for the training tomorrow 14^th , and get another chair from DuHope. Mpinga or Rachel can help in buying the needed materials since there isn’t a lot going on at DuHope.

Devotion: Marlene gave a summary of what will be covered in the devotion. Since Belay’s vision is to train kingdom entrepreneurs, the curriculum developed for the devotion will be revolving around the topic of the kingdom of God. The purpose will be to answer questions like: what is the kingdom of God? How do we enter into it? what do people wear in that kingdom? How can we be kingdom entrepreneurs?

Focus group: get people to come and give feedbacks on our participants’ products. That will be on Tuesday 21^st. Lise is to send an email to the team to get their advice on who can be part of the focus group after knowing the participants’ products. Members of the team can also participate. Lise to organize how that day will look like.

NB! The staffs are to be cautious to no interrupt or distract the training (it will be taking place in the big room), if possible leave the office by 3:30 since the training will be starting at 4pm.
