Dinner for Eight
Master-Mind
Encouragement for
Leaders
In the secular, corporate world where huge
companies are built, there is a vital resource
commonly utilized called a MASTER-MIND GROUP.
In this group, business men and women from all
industries and skills gather to fellowship and
brain storm one another ideas.
If you are experiencing dryness and frustration
in your leadership, you might want to consider
this tactic!
Schedule a Home Cell group specific for the
purpose of brain storming on the behalf of two of
your leaders. All leaders are involved in
this process! (And all leaders will WANT to be
involved in this when they see the results!) It's
important that you keep watch of your time, so
that your leaders are not taken advantage of time
wise.
Your group may look like this:
- Meet at pastors house, have beverages and
either provide notebooks and pencils, or have
leaders bring their own. A recorder is an
EXCELLENT idea!
- Two of the leaders have been selected, and
notified that they will be supported for this
meeting. They come prepared with their
'sticky' or un-productive problem areas, or
visions of where they would like to take their
department.
- Open your meeting with prayer and offer it
and the results to the Lord.
- Facilitator introduces the first person, and
their department.
- The Dept. Leader shares their idea or
problem
- The facilitator opens the floor or asks
questions to clarify the project.
- Leaders then brain storm as a Master Mind
group to share their feedback, encouragement,
solutions, resources, etc.
- Facilitator's job is to keep conversations
brief, productive, and understandable.
The facilitator will help wrap up the session
by highlighting main points.
- Next Dept. Head is introduced.
You will be amazed at your Children's, Nursery,
Youth, Janitorial, Music, etc. leaders as they see
their ideas validated, encouraged, praised, or
problem areas pin-pointed.
Your leaders will begin to gain momentum as
they invest their ideas and energy into one
another's visions - creating unity, excitement and
support for every precious leader and their
department - which will spill over into your
congregation, where they too will take ownership!
(It's just a matter of putting yourself in
their place - wouldn't you like to develop this
type of group as a pastor? HEY! Now, why didn't I
think of that? Imagine the impact this Master-Mind
Group mentality could do for your city, as pastor
validate and support one another?)

Dinner for Eight
Members of the congregation sign up to
participate in this function. "Dinner
for Eight" consists of 4 couples or pairs.
(singles, widows, etc.) One of these 4 couples
will agree to be the host couple for one dinner.
Each couple will have an opportunity to be the
host couple once within the 4 month period that
the program runs. The host couple sets the
date of the dinner and provides the main course
and drinks. The other 3 couples will be
assigned a dish to bring, either a vegetable, a
salad, or a dessert. Couples will then be rotated
by a schedule so that the next month you will have
dinner with 3 completely different couples.
This encourages fellowship in the homes and mixes
the old, young, widowed, singles etc. together so
they will get to know more about each others
lives.
