Based on needs from plan, ask church or other individuals to help support the project
5: Continuously

After each class, consider how the project and teaching went and consider how the training went
Recommendation from Pastors:
-
Frequency – Weekly classes are recommended as it provides the students with regular opportunities to learn and rapidly increase their skill levels.
-
Provide the students with access to be able to continue to develop their skills even outside of the class. Having their own materials will allow for them to practice the skills they have acquired on their own and master them faster, and create an individual’s desire to develop in the skills.
-
Survey your church members for possible skills which they might have and be willing to teach. This could be a background in the skill itself or in running a small business to teach the students how to manage the business.
