Are your social media accounts killing your ministry opportunities

Most Christian leaders are wasting their time on social media, not because they spend hours drooling through the newsfeed but because of how their page looks, what they post, what they don't post.

We would like to let you in to a little research and a few simple tips to build your profile in all forms of social media to double your IMPACT in just 10 minutes a day. What do you call a person that knows what to do but doesn't do it? The same as a person that is offered a solution to their problem but doesn't take it.
Most leaders know they need to fix their social profile but are either just not sure what needs fixing or how to do it, or is really that important. YES IT IS. You are missing lots of valuable contacts because of your incomplete or inappropriate profile and its content. 

Pulpit Rock Training will teach you how to have an impacting profile that gets interaction, builds networks, causes you to be seen as an authority and helps you to develop your ministry.
It is a totally free program but exclusive to the members of Africa Network BFTF. This also is a free online platform with over 4300 vetted ministers concerned for Africa.
The platform also contains hundreds of resources and ways to grow your ministry impact which we won't go into here. 


Make your application here and get started on your IMPACT. https://bftfafricanetwork.ning.com/ 

You can qualify as a Certified User in 10 days, as Certified Fellow in a month and a Certified Expert in under 3 months, display your certificate for extra emphasis of your skill, knowledge and persistence on all your social media. You may be surprised how many people you know are already on Africa Network BFTF. What are you waiting for? do it now. Application takes just 2 minutes.

Next Level Training free for African Christian Leaders

You are invited to use the Next Level training to take your ministry to the next level by participating in the 10 Day Challenge where you will be taught to think and plan strategically, make God centred plans and carry them out, even if you lack the required people, places, training, knowledge, resources or skills. 

Lets face it - that's most of us isn't it. 

How do some people keep on moving their ministry forward for bigger and bigger impact and others are always struggling, there are 2 keys to answer this question, knowledge and application. 

If you don't know you can't do. 

If you know but don't do, still nothing happens. 


We have a vision to train 10,000+ African Christian leaders this year to grow, make a bigger impact and fulfill a bigger vision than they ever thought possible for them; but it needs people like you to answer the challenge and do something substantially more than you have done before.


Beautiful Feet Task Force has developed a 10 Day Challenge to help you know, understand and apply the principles necessary to move ahead at a faster pace than ever before as the days are so critical now to make real true disciples to Jesus. 


The program requires you to join the facebook family Growing African Christian Leaders and when you have joined to complete the Guides which set you up to receive the membership gift and the 10 Day Challenge by email. 


We realise this is not for everyone for various reasons,

ie

  • those people who already know everything,
  • those people that are already have a worldwide impact in the millions,
  • those people who don't really have a vision at all,
  • those people that are afraid of challenge and hard work.

Most leaders however would consider that their vision is not yet accomplished and they could use knowledge, training and mentoring to move ahead, they are humble enough to admit that they don't yet know everything, then these are the people that this training is for. 


Here is how you access the 10 Day Challenge 

  1. JOIN the facebook group Growing African Christian Leaders here.
  2. Answer the 3 admission questions. Wait for approval.
  3. Read the welcome post and go through the GUIDES. 
  4. Make sure you have submitted your email in the process of doing the Guides and clicked the confirm link in the email you receive to start the flow of training. 


We have already reached 1,000 members ready to grow- join and be one of them. 


How much would it be worth to you to be able to grow your ministry to the next level? how would you measure the value to you of increased numbers, increased impact, wider spread, increased reputation, more souls won, bigger achievements for your community, humanitarian or social welfare projects? 


How much would you be prepared to pay to get to this level? Everything costs, there are no free lunches, what someone gets for nothing someone is paying a price for, we should be thinking about the value obtained and be prepared to pay something to get there. The good news is, the price has already been paid, the membership and mentoring in the group is free (but you are expected to contribute your wisdom and learning so others may grow too). The membership gift and the 10 Day Challenge is free. So what is stopping you taking on the challenge. Is it your unwillingness to face the tough questions, make tough decisions and do the work - I think you have already faced up to these problems before in your life so go ahead right now, join the group, do the guides, sign up for the 10 day Challenge and do the work.


Join now.

Guests 

Suzzette Hattingh 

Voice in the City, Frankfurt, Germany

From 1980 to 1996, Suzette Hattingh was part of Reinhard Bonnke’s ministry “Christ for all Nations” (CfaN). Heading up the intercession department, Suzette played a major role in the worldwide campaign preparations and the general ministry, later becoming Reinhard’s associate evangelist.
Her ministry of prayer during Reinhard Bonnke evangelistic outreaches, often coupled with one-to-one evangelism and street evangelism, has brought thousands of souls into the kingdom of God and has motivated numerous Christians in prayer and personal evangelism.  An evangelist in her own right, Suzette’s ministry quickly broadened into major evangelistic outreaches and prayer schools.

On 1st January 1997, Suzette Hattingh together with Gayle Claxton, founded “Voice in the City”, an international, interdenominational missions organization, endeavouring to reach out to the lost and broken-hearted, irrespective of their walk of life.

On 27th January 2015, Suzette became the founder of the non-profit organisation ‘Cinta Papua’ in West Papua, Indonesia. This has expanded into two training centres called the ‘Love Papua Centre’. Here, thousands of people interdenominationally get inspired, trained and led into a deeper walk with God.

An integral part of the ministry is healing, having been used strongly by the Lord for signs and wonders. As well as worldwide evangelistic campaigns, Suzette has a strong call from the Lord to concentrate on cities and local communities. Under the banner of servant hood, she reaches out with the same passion to one soul as to a million. Although a passionate evangelist, Suzette is also gifted in edifying and equipping the body of Christ through motivational preaching and teaching.
As an author, her anointed teachings, seasoned with experience, have been an inspiration to thousands across the world. Books & DVD's
