NEXT TRAINING COURSE >> “The Enemy Within: Identity, Strategy & Tactics”

THE ENEMY WITHIN: IDENTITY, STRATEGY & TACTICS

As Christians seek to fulfil their obligation to be gatekeepers in society, they will soon come face to face with the enemy within.  In this presentation, we look at who the enemy is, what their mission is and how they operate.  We also provide Scriptural advice for preparations to face this enemy.

NEXT TRAINING COURSE >> “Interaction: Develop Situational Awareness”

LOCAL INTERACTION: DEVELOP SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

Positive and effective action on the part of “gatekeepers” and their “critical assistants” flows out of the situational awareness acquired through interaction with those already filling these roles.  This training identifies who to engage, where/how to connect with them and what you hope to achieve from the interaction.

NEXT >> Work your way through the other Move It Christian training courses, especially those related to the role you feel called to.  Spend many hours becoming well-read and proficient in this specific area.

ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER: SIX LESSONS

Robert’s Rules of Order is a set of meeting procedure rules that helps groups hold orderly meetings where the majority makes decisions and the rights of the minority are protected.  It is the parliamentary procedure most commonly used in the political realm – at local government meetings, school board meetings, party committee meetings and party conventions.  It is critical that members of each of these bodies – elected officials, committee members and delegates – learn these rules and be comfortable using them to conduct business.
