STORY : DO YOU CARRY YOUR UMBRELLA?
As a drought continued for what seemed an eternity,a small community of farmers was in a quandary as to what to do. Rain was important to keep their crops healthy and sustain the townspeople’s way of life.
As the problem became more acute, a local pastor called a prayer meeting to ask for rain, many people arrived. The pastor greeted most of them as they field in.
As he walked to the front of the church to officially begin the meeting he noticed most people were chatting across the aisles and socializing with friends. When he reached the front his thoughts were on quieting the attendees and starting the meeting.
His eyes scanned the crowd as he asked for quiet. He noticed an eleven year-old girl sitting quietly in the front row. Her face was beaming with excitement. Next to her, poised and ready for use, was a bright red umbrella.
The little girl’s beauty and innocence made the pastor smile as he realized how much faith she possessed. No one else in the congregation had brought an umbrella.
All came to pray for rain.
But the Little girl had come expecting God to answer.

WEEKLY BUSINESS AS MISSION MEETING

The Meeting started  off with catching up to each other of how we are doing in the past few weeks were not been gathered a meeting.
Then Pastor Arthur led us on a bible verse Jeremiah 29:11 ” For I know the plans I have for, declares the Lord, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Our Topic is all about taking Responsibility , why God allowed bad things in your life, why are some people poor and others is rich? because people can’t take the responsibility for example a mother and her children she can’t ignore and abandon her children but take the responsibility. We much blaming others or everyone why we failed, but we didn’t even blamed and asked ourselves why it is happening. And also Adam and Eve . “Don’t blame anyone, but yourself”. Next Pastor Arthur moved to another topic about “Think and act like a Customer”- Title of the Book , then Pastor asked What our customer like? find it enjoyable and give them what makes them fun, happy and enjoy. If you don’t want to be invisible do what likable.
Then we through our discussion we proceed on “TEAM BUILDING” Pastor Arthur try to reconnected our relationship by simply looking at someone eye for 4 minutes to improve our relationship. It find good its like we feel each other, its quiet difficult at first but step by step we touch and feels what our partner feels. Thanks for coach for this try team building.

I want to share with you a short story that touch my heart and really blessed me .

Story : “IT’S HOW YOU SEE IT”
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He had a sign which read: “I am blind. Please Help.” There were only a few coins in the hat. When a man came walking by, he took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. Then he took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on the back. He put the sign where it was, so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were going. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way. I wrote: ‘Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.'” Both signs told people the same thing… that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were extremely fortunate that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. When life gives you a reason to cry, show life that you have 100 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and let go of fear!

Last Month we had our monthly outing. Coach Arthur took us, staff – Abigail, Jirah (+boyfriend), Hazel and Joseph, and his two son’s Barnabas and Caleb to Robinson. It was a great opportunity for bonding. These monthly outings help us to get to know each other better. While we were in Robinson we also went to watch a movie. It was an awesome movie. We watched Tarzan … cool movie.
Thanks Coach Arthur .. we had a great weekend.

Hi !
It was an awesome day. I love to share with you that because of power cut all staff in office went on field training. Saturday we had the whole day power cut. This means that all staff working in office were not able to do anything. Therefore we decided to take all staff out of their office and take them into the field. So they could experience in the field how things work.

Although having a power cut the whole day is very frustrating it turned into something fun and educational. Even if there is power cut customers still expect deliveries. Therefore all the ladies took the car and went together to the market to pick up deliveries. At the market they called it “Girl’s Power.” It was a great time of bonding. We had lots of fun. As we are having fun together it will help to become more productive and increase the ability to offer a better service to our customers.
Thanks, TTN – www.ttnministry.com

WEEKLY BAM MEETING

The Meeting started with Thanksgiving for the things that went well this week. Follwed by some worship and praise for the One True God; creator of all; Lord of all; our strength and hope; our light and our salvation. Thanking Him for He has done for us this past week.
Pastor Arthur discussed with us about James 1 :19. “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become anger”. Although we only have one mouth it is much easier for us to be quick to speak. Share our opinions, but although we have been given 2 ears to hear we find it often harder for us to listen to what people have to say.
Relating this to business …. in the past the way to promote your product is to make a lot of noise and repeat something many times. It doesn’t matter what customers says … just keep promoting your product. However there is a new marketing wave … because of social media .. customers want to be heard. Therefor monitoring is not okay anymore .. business have to start to listen to their customers. What do they want! What do they desire and that is what we need to deliver. It is about people and not just a number or just about us.
After the teaching we prayed for each other, for Mr. Trump with the coming elections and for President Duterte.

Every week we have a business meeting. We start with some praise and worship. Thanking the Lord for all He has done for the past week.
After that Pastor Arthur shared to us about the importance of loyalty. According to Arthur loyalty is very important because if staff is not loyal the business cannot survive. Since Loyalty is of vital importance of existence of every company pr organization Arthur encourages us to be loyal in several different areas.
First, do our work with Honesty and Integrity and the Lord will bless us for our loyalty. Colossians 3: 23 says “And what so ever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord,and not unto men.”
Second, be Passionate about your job and company you work. When coming to work is your passion and you love doing it, that person will be much more effective in the job she/he is doing. Try to keep improving things so we can serve our customers better.
Finally, since God’s word tells us that “all things are possible to him who believe” Mark 9:23 it means we should never give up to find ways to improve our service and work.

So in short … loyalty is very important for every business. Since an house divided against itself will not stand. Arthur discussed loyalty in 3 different areas: 1. Honesty and Integrity; 2. Be passionate and 3. Never give up. After the teaching we closed the meeting with praying  for each other, healing for hazel’s father and also of course prayed for our President Duterte and for Mr. Trump.

We had our weekly business meeting. We opened with thanksgiving – giving praises for the things that went well this past week.
After that we had a time of Praise and Worship.

Arthur shared with us from Col. 3:23-25 “Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the LORD Christ, but he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality. ”
We are talking about the importance of customer service. Part of giving good customer service is to do our best and provide the best or most excellent service we can offer to our customers. We want our customers to go WOW – that is why we call it WOW service.
After that Arthur shared with us that part of good customer service is to always keep working on improvement. Keep increasing in knowledge about your product and your area you are working. Try to keep improving things so we can serve our customers better.

After the lesson we prayed for each and according to 1 Tim. 2:2 we also prayed for our President Duterte and for Mr. Trump. It is always good to pray for those in leadership.
