R.W.M.C.

What went RIGHT?
  • Ideas were practical and useful
  • Group Think
  • Book Reviews
  • Variety
  • Homework
  • Discussion
  • Mock board meetings
  • Interviewed pastors/coaches/mentors/etc.
  • Realistic expression of their outreach successes and failures, life highs and lows
  • Technology welcomed
What went WRONG?
  • Rotate board positions
  • More interactive classes
  • Tech Skype
  • Drawn out classes when no speakers
  • More intentional outreach questions, less "life-story"
What was MISSING?
  • Off-campus ministry
  • Service learning
  • Business-minded interviewers in parachurch or business world
  • Develop a class outreach
  • Maybe do a mock outreach. Plan the outreach as a class throughout the semester (does not necessarily have to be executed,) but would be useful to see the steps and entire process of outreach planning.
What was  CONFUSING?
  • Difference between the three different organizations in Community Interviews
