Key People in ICF

Sebagai leaders yang aktif bergelut di dalam ICF, kita tentu sering mendengar frase “key people” digunakan oleh teman-teman sesama leaders, elders, mentors, di dalam paper-paper yang kita baca, atau bahkan, entah disadari atau tidak, kita sendiri seringkali menggunakan frase tersebut dalam percakapan sehari-hari. Yang menjadi pertanyaan adalah: apakah kita sudah sungguh mengerti apa yang dimaksud dengan “key people?” Apa itu “key people?” Mengapa ICF saya membutuhkan “key people?” Apakah peranannya di dalam ICF? dst. Melalui paper ini, kami ingin mencoba mengangkat dan memberikan jawaban atas pertanyaan-pertanyaan tersebut.

Hal-hal yang akan kami bahas adalah :
1. Definisi dari “key people” di dalam ICF
2. Peranan key people ICF di dalam functional block
3. Urgency untuk memiliki key people yang kompeten dan berkualitas

Medium Group: A Community Model

Christians are designed by God to grow within the context of a community - this is clear in the pastoral epistles where body life is highly emphasized. But, throughout the years, ICF struggles in finding the right model for a community where people can be involved enough to be able to exercise ministry, gifting, abiding in Word, role-modeling, as well as as receiving love from others.

Without a doubt that the right attitude is the bottom line of the problem in a healthy Christian community, but having a supportive wine-skin is also highly beneficial to spur productive and healthy culture in creating an awesome community.

ICF Columbus, in LM 2004 shared about an idea (it was not implemented at the time) that has been incubated for nearly 2 years about a model community. This presentation is about sharing what we learned during our brainstorming, trial, and some steps of faith we were about to embark in 2005: creating Medium Group.

Why "Medium Group"?  Simple, since we have a larger group meeting called Saturday Night Fellowship as well as "small group" or "cell group". So out of lack of creativity, born "Medium Group".
