Coordination
Message Info
Overall
Zoom allocation: (1) Santa Clara to provide for English-speaking (2) Cupertino Chinese-speaking (3) Sunnyvale Korean-speaking
UPDATED: Spanish speaking will have their training separately with all NorCal Spanish-speaking sections from January 3 - 14. one message per day.
UPDATED: the zoom info by language are provided and published.
UPDATED: more other South Bay churches to join us? Campbell confirmed. Palo Alto to join with North Bay churches; Mountain View will hold its own trainings, while blending in conferences.
We will have a simple website as the hub of information, similar to the Thanksgiving conference/South Bay blending. Status: created here; to populate info when available.
No breakout after each message but 2-3 brothers speaking highlights. Our schedule this time is more packed, only 85 minutes per message. We may skip the highlights if less time available. We may open up for more to overflow when time allows.
Further details to be worked out by the coordinating brothers of each language: (1) host/streaming (2) group study/testing (3) serving schedule
SUGGESTION from Campbell
The brothers feel that the study groups formed randomly during summer training were kind of loose, also hard for serving ones to shepherd the trainees to be in the study sessions. They suggested that we consider to form fixed study groups (which is what live training typically requires). The blending this way would also be more solid. In addition to their original suggestion to pair localities to work on the forming of study groups, we may also consider the following:
Each locality put their trainees into "half groups" of 4-6, each half group with at least one serving brother. (Say by Dec.21 Monday).
We can then pair the half groups across all localities to form the study groups of 8 - 12 (LSM recommends 8-10), each with two half groups from two different localities.
For each study group, the two serving brothers reach out each other to coordinate and decide on the Zoom meeting to use for their study group and inform their respective half groups.
At 4pm/8pm, trainees join firstly to the Zoom meeting of their own study group, and then at 5pm/9pm switch to the common one of the training for testing. The moderator uses 5 minutes to bring saints to enjoy something together, while the groups are joining for the testing time.
(We may then even conduct testing by study groups, instead.)
Though this approach takes a bit more arrangement beforehand, it also eliminates the complexity of arranging and assigning facilitators using breakout rooms.
English-speaking
Santa Clara brothers will take care of streaming for messages (host has minimum work as no breakout).
