Ministry and Management

Solution Preview

Dear Student,
Below, I have provided points for you to help you with your task. You need to check with your current materials for the course to make sure they are aligned with what you have to discuss, your teacher/instructor will be expecting this of you. The materials I have used are easy to find. You can use the listed resources to further explore the topic or you can let me know via the feedback section if you have any further questions. I am going to follow a Q&A solution format to make it easy for you. I have made a fictional church official, in this case a steward for the purpose of this solution.

The secondary task appears to be very specific and concise. As such, I created a table for you. This way, in will be easier to use the information when you are going to make the ministry action plan. The suggestions provided here are not based on your course materials, so please check your course materials to include information from them - this is what your lecturer/teacher/tutor expects. You can use the listed references to further explore the topic.

All the best with your studies.

Sincerely,

(see attached 'ministry cultural assessment .docx' file for the table and the references)
