Before the Forum, my motivation to participate was...

My motivation was low. I could have spent the time doing better things.
My leader expected me there. I obeyed and wondered what would come.
I was eagerly looking forward to learning new things.
I cannot remember how I felt before I arrived.

Additional comments:

After the Forum my feeling about having participated is...

I obeyed and came, but I could have done better things with my time.
Certain program parts were valuable, but it just had nothing to do with me.
A typical event .... At least I met good friends.
Content & presentation surprised me. It has much to do with my ministry
I would not want to have missed the FD LF . I am so happy that I was there.
I have no opinion on this

Additional comments:

Horst's opening "Bottom Line" message and the Shifting Gears Framework

This is still a mystery! Why 8 Everys? Isn't it just about money?
I understand in general. More discussion time would have helped .
I know now, where I need to focus and prioritize my input for best results.
I have no opinion on this.

Spiritual Teaching by Myles Wilson

Describe your WOWs and HOWs from these sessions.

WOWs:

HOWs:

The national discussion and processing times with our country team were..

A waste of time, way too much time given, we just did other things instead.
Well intended, not enough time to touch on all of it in such short time.
We maximized our time with a lot of good thoughts and even action steps.
I have no opinion on that or cannot remember what we have done.

Additional comments:

Individual country documents and questions for the national discussion times on Monday were...

Distracting and not helpful at all.
A bit helpful, but we mostly discussed other things.
Very helpful. It was clear what we were supposed to discuss, and we did it.
I have no opinion on that or cannot remember about those docs.

Additional comments:

The Power of Traffic Rules - workshop with Deb & Bart

It was a typical policy exercise only valuable for operations people.
an eye-opener that traffic rules are not too bad and could even be helpful.
It helped us to discuss our situation and work on good next steps.
I have no opinion on this or I did not attend this seminar.

Additional comments:

Basics of FD & Define your Project - Workshop with Horst & Tracy

It did not answer my real questions or did not meet my expectations.
Some ideas, different types of project structures. Sitll wondering what to do.
Some good ideas. I understand how to think and plan a project. I'll try .
I have no opinion on this or I did not attend this seminar.

Additional comments:

2nd Gear Presentation (team responsibility for fundraising) by Horst:

It was a shock. You want to kill us? I am definitely not on board.
You really mean EVERY team, even the most local one? How will it work?
Even so fearful, I see possibilities. More time to discuss would have won me.
OK: every team member involved. But we will face a lot of resistance.
Convinced! Better to face some resistance, but to release our ND.
I have no opinion on this.

Additional comments:

Presentation by Horst - comparison of activities and techniques in business and missions:

A waste of time or I did not like the comparison of missions to business!
Normal business practices, but can they be compared to missions work?
Logic, as long as we don’t want to become a marketing or sales machine.
I really can’t recall the content or have no opinion about this.

Additional comments:

The explanation that the Area Team and their teams will also model this new approach...

I don't agree at all. As area-staff I am completely overwhelmed.
Not shocked, makes sense. But how will it work? I need help.
Logical. I consider involving MPD partners and raise additional money.
I do not work on the area level or I have no opinion about this.

Additional comments:

Practical examples of local FD activities presented by Horst and local ministry leaders.

Rank each idea from best (nr. 1) to least helpful for your situation (nr. 9).

Presentation - The Road Ahead by Horst

You promote what you can't deliver because of limited coaches? Frustrating!
I wanted to be in the 1st class. Some of us feel excluded now.
We will be patient as long as needed, but count us in. We want it.
This topic was over my head; I cannot recall the offer or have no opinion.

Additional comments:

Your Results: team plan, action steps, defined responsibilities, specific outcomes

We didn’t make a plan, discussed other things, it’s not worth it.
We can never do this without help. What did you want from us?
Time was too short, will complete it soon and let you know on Google Drive.
We have defined everything in Google Drive. Your feedback is welcomed.
I cannot say where our feedback is. I am completely lost or have no opinion.
