All that you have worked so hard praying and planning for has
finally arrived! We know that your P.E.A.C.E. Project will
be a life changing experience for your Small Group and for those
in the community. There are two more key action items for
you to consider before implementing a successful P.E.A.C.E. Project:
-
Schedule a Brief Connection Time with Your Small
Group: It would be a great idea for you to
ask your Small Group members to arrive early on the day of
your P.E.A.C.E. Project to connect briefly. Use this
time to pray and encourage your group to remember the L.A.U.N.C.H.
steps outlined for them. Consider making copies of
these and using it as an outline for your connection time.
-
Schedule a Time to Debrief Your P.E.A.C.E. Experience: It
will be very important for your Small Group to connect and
debrief your experience. This will help your group identify
what was accomplished, how God moved in the lives of your Small
Group members as well as those you served, and identify key
next steps. It would be a good idea to schedule this
time before everyone leaves on the day of your P.E.A.C.E. Project. This
is one of the most significant steps in the process yet it
is also the one most easily forgotten or neglected. Download
the P.E.A.C.E. Project Debrief Form to help you ask key questions,
facilitate meaningful discussion, and record the group’s
responses. Consider typing out the responses from this
discussion and emailing them to the group.
Develop a P.E.A.C.E. Strategy: Depending
on your Small Group’s experience you may decide during
the debriefing process that the people you designed your P.E.A.C.E.
Project for are the people your Small Group would like to work
with long term. For some Small Group’s this discovery
may take many experiences in the community experimenting with
different projects and working with different people to determine
how your Small Group can make the greatest impact. Remember,
PEACE is a strategy that will not bring about long term transformation
unless it is carried out to a people group on a consistent basis. Develop
a P.E.A.C.E. Strategy has been designed to help your Small Group
develop an effective long term P.E.A.C.E. Strategy.
