Regional Committee: Opening Address

• Where does the One AFM Game Plan come from?

• Take a look at the AFM’s strategic history: 2000: NLF produced the AFM Master Plan. Was in

place for a few years but not driven strongly enough.

2012: NLF accepted a 2nd plan called the Vision 20/20 plan. The focus of this plan is on the AFM’s apostolic or missional calling [The Great Commission as in Matthew]

Background• The AFM’s strategic history (cont):

2013: Now there were 2 documents attempting to provide direction for the church. There was an uncertainty as to which document to promote.

2013: National Office Bearers consolidated the “AFM Master Plan” and the “Vision 20/20 Plan” to form one document providing the strategic direction for the church → The One AFM Game Plan.

Background

• The need for UNITY now became apparent:– One church following one plan!

Challenges• Lack of mutual understanding when it comes to

the meaning of our key focus areas:1. Empowerment2. Ecumenical3. Socio-Economic Relevance4. Governance5. Discipleship

• The AFM Strategy is a theoretical document. What is needed is practical definitions & actions that will establish a missional “way of doing things”, i.e. missional culture.

Challenges

• To achieve UNITY, and address the challenges - a process is needed that will help us to move from: Theory to practice. Ideas to activities. Words to actions. Definitions to culture. Insights to behaviour.

Solution• The One AFM Game Plan!• What will the One AFM Game Plan do for the

church? Strengthen commitment & passion. Create mutual understanding. Produce practical definitions . Define roles for people on all levels of the AFM. Develop communication capacity. Lead to the implementation of the strategy. Empower church leaders to measure and set

objectives.

Solution• One AFM Game Plan – what does it entail?

We think of all AFM Pastors & Colleagues as a TEAM. The AFM TEAM.

The game? MISSIONAL CHURCH. [Biblical foundation for a sports metaphor]

The stake? Fulfilling the Great Commission. The Regional Committee members become COACHES

and MENTORS for their local pastors & assemblies. And in turn local pastors become Great Commission

COACHES & MENTORS for their own assemblies.

Solution• One AFM Game Plan on Regional Committee

Level:– NOB Regional Empowerment Sessions.– Here Regional Leaders acted as COACHES for their

Regional Committees.

Solution• We, right your region/network name here, are ready

• Take the first step in your One AFM Game Plan journey: ACCEPT THE CALL! Move from being a FAN to being an active, dedicated &

committed PLAYER in the AFM TEAM. The Regional Committee invites YOU to ACCEPT THE CALL

to be a PLAYER in the AFM TEAM.

• Remember to order your One AFM Game Plan shirt!

Fellowship – Tea Break• Join us!

Congratulations!• Now you are an official PLAYER in TEAM AFM!

• Welcome to your training programme!

• The objectives of this 2-day training are:– To train you as pastor and member of the governing

body in the use of the One AFM Game Plan tool. – At the end of the 2-days, give each assembly a One

AFM Game Set of their own – encouraging our pastors to repeat the process with their assembly leadership.

The One AFM Game• The One AFM Game is based on the following

principles: LEARN THE GAME– Surely a winning team needs to know their game!

Good knowledge of the rules and terminology is a must. In the One AFM Game we review the meaning of our key focus areas.

TALK GAME PLAN – No team can be successful without a Game Plan! In a

winning team every player knows what their role is. In the One AFM Game we translate definitions to actions; and in this process identify what our specific role is.

Empowerment

leader – teach, demonstrate, self-practise.• Equip members according to their skills &

talent.• ALL members are called ones.
