SEND North DNA
Overview: Missionaries will be familiar with the distinctives of SEND North and how SEND North fits within SEND International. They will understand the organizational structure of our members and who to contact for help with various issues. Missionaries will understand the difference between required and optional communication, and will be aware of the different communication platforms within SEND North (ie. Yammer, email, FB group, etc). IGPs, Ministry Descriptions, Self Assessments, and Annual Ministry Plans purpose and importance will be understood resulting in consistent implementation. Missionaries will understand the purpose and function of Council, the Project Committee, and the Personnel Committee and how to contact each. Missionaries will be aware of what is safe to share internally (within SEND North) and externally (Facebook, churches, etc). Bi-vocational missionaries will understand organizational expectations considering their unique role. Missionaries will recognize their contribution to the areas of member care, partnership development, and mobilization.
