Strengths: Passionate about learning Students come better prepared than before Tech Savvy Committed to the local church and leadership Broad scope of involvement of lay people Participation of older students.
Weaknesses: Some come uncertain of call, fear obstacles by pastors A lack of clarity in the dream Some are too busy and can’t have the full experience of quality training Lack of ethical training
Opportunities: Love for the Alma matter Relationships among students by texting, cell phone Interdenominational involvement of other students Increased funding by outside sources Ministerial teams
Threats: Influence of the internet Pastors jealousy (my little Kingdom…and nothing else) Loss of grads to other organizations and denominations
Plan of Action Create devotional and ministry opportunities Ministry proposal by students approved by administration to be presented to Pastors Communication with the local pastors Teach and preach the bigger picture of the Kingdom of God Offer intensives for developing leadership skills Contact possibilities for alumni to connect with the local Bible School Work with students to define their call Take students on errands, take them out to lunch, accompany them on ministry teams Offer alumni the opportunity to come back free to courses Allow Pastors 2 to 3 days on campus free for prayer and renewal |
