Go with the Goers – some will not stay with it.

  8. Build on Your Own CPN –The Nashville Network 3. When a sufficient number are clearly interested, holda commitmentdiscussion. • Make sure that the key senior pastors/ministers will attend. • If possible, encourage them to bring a few other key leaders (especially key staff or elders). • Focus on the vision (what can be done) and provide DVDs and short articles that can be taken back to other staff and elders. • Give the specifics on the commitments needed – a general MOU. • Ask all participants to take the material back to their elders and staff.
