If you want supporters, for both prayer and for finances, you have to be intentional about communiating with them. If you just wing it and communicate with them when it’s convenient, you never will. Trust me, very few church planters are good at constant communication, which is required for constant support, without putting into place a plan and a structure. Our next several posts will help you do just that.
The first step is to put it on your calendar. Pick a day for your first communications blast. We’ll focus on email during this series but you can also apply this to “snail mail” and phone calls.
You also need to determine what frequency to communicate with people. Daily is too much… they’ll quit reading. Monthly is not often enough… they’ll forget you exist. We recommend weekly. So pick a day you know you typically have some time and just block out an hour just like you would for a meeting.
Once it’s on your calendar you’ll find it much easier to actually do it.
