This is a phrase I first heard while studying at Cliff College "networking is working" and it was music to my ears and I have never forgotten it. In the past two days alone the truth of this phrase has been proven in my ministry.
Yesterday I was invited to discuss the possibility of exploring with church leaders in partnership with other key organizations how "it takes a whole church to raise a child" initiative in Scotland. Today I sat with other denominational staff and planned for our third series of ACTS conferences for children's workers and as we racked our minds to think of potential contributors it became clear that the wealth of contacts and knowledge in that room enables us to pull in a wide range of contexts and perspectives on a wide range of topics that will hopefully engage and equip delegates in November. Working together in collaboration towards a common goal enabled us to list 2,3 sometimes 4 people able to speak into various subjects we had chosen for the day.
I believe in networking, I believe spending time chatting over ideas in Starbucks is worthwhile! Its not just about the coffee. HONEST....
