Thank you for staying with us. You're still watching the breakfast on plus TV Africa It's time for a hot topic and we'll be looking at the National Assembly passes 2024 budget who raises estimates by 1.2 trillion and Naira now there's been an appropriation bill which was about 27.5 Billion trillion Naira, but now it's been increased to 28 0.7 trillion and Naira by the president But anyways joining us to speak about this and just give us more insight is Frank Eliania Who is a business who's our business? They is the technological news editor at business day. Good morning, Frank Thank you for joining the program Good morning, and thank you for helping me. Happy new year. Happy new year to you. Happy new year Okay, so we're looking as an addition of 1.2 Trillion Naira to our appropriation budget when you saw this was the first thing that jumped at you And how did you feel about this? I mean, we're talking about 27.5 now. We're moving over to 28.7 I think the first thing I did was try to find out what the talks or the idea was from the from National Assembly Some of the reasons that they forward which includes increasing revenue and order three items, you know They kind of didn't add up, you know, but This has become like something that you expect from the National Assembly every year That the budget is made, you know before they passed the budget They often come up with these additions that they put on the budget Even if they hadn't talked about how do we Show up or Account for these additions that we are making but they just go ahead and make it anyway, so So it is expected. So I wasn't really surprised that It is the case again this In this 2024 budget, but then it then raises critical questions which I'm hoping that the government Will answer in 2024 listening to the president's speech this morning where he was saying that he plans to Pursue his tax reform and also and also Tackle everything that Obstructs revenue generation and it's sort of a being hopeful, but then There were some critical things I would have expected to hear from that budget from that new year eve Message which were in there, you know, but It's 2024. So We can look forward to say there's something that might happen that would be that would be different from the disaster that we had in 2023 Okay, so some of the adjustments made included the foreign exchange differential We know what the effects is saying right now. The dollar is At an all-time high if I can say that as well as the pounds and the years So some of these adjustments that is that amounts to the 1.2 trillion is includes foreign exchange differential increasing government owned enterprises revenues personal reduction And what jumped out to me was the foreign The foreign exchange differential are we not supposed to be looking at a way to Bring down the foreign exchange. So to you know, just put up the naira to the dollar It might not be as it used to be like years before but at least something close But if we're still adjusting for this foreign Exchange, what happens to our economy? We're adding more money and guess what most of this money is that you know Are in our budget. We're probably going to borrow them So we're borrowing to make all of this spending. How does that even work? In our economy that we are currently in right now Yeah, so I I think what you're seeing there is The national assembly are adjusting for the worst in 2024 um, they're like just telling you that grazed up, you know fighting your ship belt and um things might get a little bit more bumpy in in in 2024 But then you are You are correct about, you know, actually the questions about how does this even work? We are we are Expecting that production levels or production activities in the economy in 2024 are going to be significantly increased or improved, you know, um, but I'm I'm still not very confident, you know from the from the government's Position and the ability language, you know So it's still not given the kind of vibes that you you need to assure yourself that They are they've got their head in the right direction Which was also where I alluded to the president's speech this morning That speech for me could have been a little bit more thoughtful about issues around cost of governance Around the issues around how the government intends to work with the state because I think that In 2024 the government should prioritize the state governors To ensure that they boost their revenue I'm I'm I'm kind of leaning towards the states to Or rescue the economy from From the place where it is currently, you know, imagine if you have 20 states That are productive imagine if you have 20 states that are that have significantly improved um, their revenue by december 2024 um, the economy will Will be improved by that period But in particularly three what you saw was that um, just a little about Um, four states were able to hit over one million over a hundred million dollars In revenue, you know, so that is abysmal, you know We even had a state with about 12,000 Slightly above the 12,000 dollars that it generated from foreign Direct investment, you know, so it's it is it is a bad place where the states are But it is something that we should prioritize in 2024, you know, look a little bit Away from the federal government. I don't see the federal government, you know Doing so much without the significant impute of the state because Things like payee Taxes if you're going to talk about the taxes that the government is talking about, you know Payee is still with the states. Um, most of the taxes are coming from the states when you talk about payee, you're talking about Employees of companies, you know what they earn, you know that How do you? Increase that tax net without improving employment So if if companies are not employing it means that you have a less Tax to collect from there, you know So you you need the states to be open doing you need every state to Go back to their budget. I saw that many of them passed their budget before December 31st, you know, which is good But then it is what is about passing the budgets the content of the budgets are very important How much of it were allocated to education? How much of it were located to um power How much of it were allocated to um road infrastructure, you know, and How less of that? No, how less were allocated to funding? Um Be the government themselves, you know Um, some of them are very very poor, you know in terms of the numbers if you look at what they are looking for themselves in terms of how Funding their offices, you know very very poor as in they increase this significantly while their education Um, you know get as much, you know Um If we're going to move forward into into the fourth then issues around human resource development Has to be prioritized Issues around that would mean improving the education system. I looked at the budget of Of the universities currently, you know If you if you just oppose that with what the national assembly allocated for itself If you just for if you just oppose that with what the federal government is going to use to run its activities, you know You know that we're not serious yet. And then of course Um, how much attention are we given to power? Power remains a critical issue in our country. In fact, many of us celebrated Christmas without electricity in our homes, you know and just towards the last week of uh Of december we're beginning to hear that electricity tariffs will also be increased You know So if well if the government intends to increase the pressures on the pockets of Of Nigerians the question will be what sacrifices is it willing to make? I was expecting that the president's speech this morning was going to Maybe say something about how much they're going to cut From what they are currently spending on each minister what they're currently spending On the travels that they have made and all of that, but it is not there and then of course Still talking about states I'm looking at what is the government going to do about abuja and lego states You know, these are two states that are very critical to the economy You know, um, you're talking about legos. You're talking about the commercial nurse center Of the economy then you're talking about abuja the power seat You need recently we have seen what's what what has been happening in abuja keeping up paying insecurity at a very high rate Investors are not going to look at that and come into the country No matter how much pledges they make, you know In december we heard from the government that they have uh, um They have accumulated about over about 15 billion dollars in in pledges Plages do not um translates to actual investment They can make pledges to you or if if you don't do the work if you don't put in the The investment within um investors are not going to come in so it's not All of this needs to be balanced in 2024. Um, we have in abuja where You have an fc team minister who is more interested in politics than he's interested in the development of this Of the state. What is the god? What is the president going to do about wiki in 2024? Those are issues that needs to be addressed if you don't address the development of abuja Then every other states will suffer, you know So all of those things is what we're expecting that actual actions are taken um in 2024 to improve The state of the economy at the position where it is It is abysmal and these states needs to need to leave up to expectation really Yeah, but um first of all This budget was raised based on assumptions Because the explanation that was given by the national assembly is that the government owned Enterprises pledged you just talked about pledge. That's what reminded me of this a pledge cannot translate into action But government owned enterprises pledged That they were going to raise their revenue and so they jacked up the the budget Just because of these pledges In the first place are we safe to make a presumptions or a presumptuous budget as it is because all these figures are based on projections that may or may not come to fruition um You are very uh When when we talk about The pledges that the government agencies are making i've thought I would have thought that the government will go back to antithesis And what has happened before um if you look at the performance of the budget over the years a if we budgeted let's let's assume we budgeted hundred naira For a year to earn hundred naira in a year The nigerian government has never made hundred percent of that revenue projection You know that's never been the time when we exceeded or even attained the hundred percent at least for uh for the period of this democracy since since 1999 That we've had you know, um, it has always maybe stopped at uh, if you If you were good enough if the government was very active enough They will make us say about a 70 percent of that of that revenue projection You know never been a time that we attained hundred percent. So Yes, it begs the question. Why are you pleasing? um Increase in the budget on projections of agencies What reforms have those agencies put in place to ensure that the projections that they are making Are attainable I don't think I've seen Significant improvement in the in any of the agencies many of them are still running like the way this old civil service Systems are are being run, you know There's a there's been a lot of talk around automation of governance the e-governance projects that the government has been in or has embarked on for For over eight years now, you know, but that has not been fulfilled So if if you have not been able to integrate Every agency within within an automated system How do you then want to account for the leakages that will result from from continually using manual techniques to earn revenue, you know, so um It is not going to work without technology There's got to be a serious Discussion within government itself breaking everybody every stakeholder um across the agencies to say look we have to get serious and Um, if if we're going to survive it is going to be based on how much investment we make in technology So, um, we hear a lot from the new minister of communication um Innovation and digital economy about how they're going to integrate um The the the whole mdh, you know, and the other agencies and all that but that hasn't started happening yet. Um, We we haven't seen any action there. So I want to see some form of activity around investment in technology You know, let's let's see how that is going to work and see How that will improve our revenue But until we do that, I don't think all these estimates that we keep projecting Are going to work and it's also the same thing when you hear the president say that we're going to pull Pull 10 million people or 20 million people out of poverty question is How do you want to do that? You don't have data. First of all, we don't have we even have a population data Um, in Nigeria yet. Um, the last estimate estimates that we are Um, working with is the 2017 estimate from the mpc. You know, the mpc has not updated for 2018 2019 2020 Up until 2023 So if we don't even have that updated yet, what data is the government going to use to pull 20 million people or 40 million people Out of poverty how do they describe poverty? You know, so those are questions political questions that need to be answered. He said something about um, um, um leveraging data Last year in december as well that the economy is going to ride on or survive um with the use of data but How much is that how much investment are they making? When are we going to have the population sensors? You know our sensors when I'm gonna have maybe so those are questions that need Yeah, there really are very many questions that I even have a personal question. You don't have to answer this but um I'm a business person and I believe that if you're budgeting a lot of money to go in Then you should be looking for ways to get the money out So you should be looking for ways to make sure that your business is thriving and it's profitable, right? So I'm thinking we're talking about these numbers How are we sure that we can actually make that money back? But sadly We cannot continue this conversation right now because we're a little bit out of time But I think we're going to bring you back so we can you know take a deep dive into this conversation But thank you so much for joining us and thank you for bringing your valuable contributions Happy new year friend and happy new year once again Thank you so much All right Okay, we'll be speaking to frank elia here's the technology and business news editor at business day All right, we'll go on a short break and when we return we'll be looking at our next hot topic Well, we're going to be talking about the refinery. So you want to stick around for this one season


Dear learners, we are continuing our discussion on staffing and we shall now discuss the staffing material of your SLM in the last part of this video. And here we shall take care of these two learning objectives, explain the concept of selection. In the previous part, we discussed about recruitment. Now we shall discuss about selection and the differences between recruitment and selection. We shall discuss the concept of orientation. Let us first take the first learning objectives. What is selection? According to their U-DAR, U-DAR is also another Personal Management Specialist. According to him, selection is the process by which candidates for employment are divided into class, those who will be offered employment and those who will talk. Selection implies, suppose recruitment we shall call for applications, people will apply, those applications will be screened. We shall spell out some essential conditions, we shall spell out some desirable qualification, based on those we shall prepared a list of potential candidates to be selected. When we shall prepare that list, then we shall call them for interview etcetera. Then we shall call them for interview, then we shall screen them. We shall discuss with them. We shall try to find out their merits, their shortcomings, their strengths. So then we shall prepare a list that these are the people who can be employed and these are the people who cannot be employed. This may be one list is accepted, the other list is the rejected. So selection is that process. Selection out the right kind of people, perspective, then when they will be selected, they will join, then they will be oriented to the organization. So this is selection. So the recruitment will go first, then selection will come. So selection is very important, is not it? If we, there is a type 1 and type 2 error, if we select a wrong candidate, in that case that person will be a lifelong liability, is not it? So that is a very important whom we are going to select. If we are going to procure the right kind of persons, in that case that will help us in reducing their training cost. Because you will be able to absorb the things in a first mode. We can build a competent workforce and we can achieve the objectives in a better manner. So what are the steps in selection process? First of all, we shall have to conduct preliminary interview. Then many times it happens in the organizations, a preliminary interview is conducted, then based on that the selected candidates will be given an application form, detailed. You will spell out all those things, your past experiences, your strengths, your family background, preliminary interview, we may not need all those things. We might just need the name, age, etc. Then they will be conducted the employment test interview. They might be asked to give some references, those references also many times in IT companies based on reference only the selections are made. If someone strongly recommends someone means that holds lots of importance. Because if you serve that person will also be kept in notice, if someone recommends a wrong candidate, then medical examination and then ultimately the final selection. So selection is not just automatic, it will go through a process. Then the other thing is concept of orientation. When we will select the right kind of people, they might be coming from outside. They may not know our organization. So they need to be oriented to the organization that is called orientation. This orientation is also called as induction means the person is inducted into the organization. According to Michael Armstrong, what is orientation? Orientation is the process of receiving and welcoming an employee. Please come, this is our organization. These are our rules. This is our vision. This is our vision. This is our strategy. This is how we work. Please come, join our organization. So when he first joins a company and giving him basic information, he needs to settle down. These are your colleagues. They will help you in understanding the processes so that you can spend happy time here. So that you can give your maximum to our organization and you can start work. That is orientation. So this definition, my dear learners, must be clear to you. It is the process of receiving and welcoming an employee when he first joins a company and giving him basic information about the company, about the products, about the strategy, about the needs, about the mission vision, etcetera. So orientation program helps in achieving certain objectives. Some I have mentioned a few only. In your cellar, there are a number of others. So these are indicative. First of all, it helps in familiarizing the new employee with a job. Otherwise, he was not familiar. He is an outsider. He doesn't know much. So familiarizing him with a job, with the people around him, his colleagues, his workplace, work environment and the organization. Suppose the person is going to join in a factory which is located in a very cold place. So before joining, that person needs to be given the orientation that he will be sent to this place, there are lifestyles like this. So accordingly, you will have to prepare yourself. This is an orientation. To facilitate the outsider, the transition in an integrated manner, to reduce the cultural shock faced by the new entrant in the organization and to reduce anxiety. A new person joining an organization is anxious, curious, is a bit tense. When the right kind of orientation is given, the person feels relaxed. The nervousness is reduced. Anxiety is reduced. And this helps in reducing employee turnover. People do not feel like living an organization because they are rightly oriented. And this also helps in curbing absenteeism. People doesn't go for developing the habit of availing unauthorized absenteeism. They become the habitual, punctual in attending to their office duties or their work duties. So these are the objectives of orientation problem. So with this, we have discussed about the unit of staffing. The learners, please read the asylum, please read the unit. If required, go to the videos once again and try to clarify the concepts further. I wish you all the best. Thank you. Thank you very much.


Hello everyone, welcome to another NARC Survivor Live video, and yes today is Christmas Day for most of us. It's probably morning for a lot of you, so I just like to say before we begin, Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all have a great day today, whatever you're doing, whether you're with family or friends, and I hope you're able to avoid any narcissist over the holidays, and if you're not able to do that, then I hope that you can go grey rock, then you can protect your emotional state and not expend too much of your energy on unproductive things, so yeah I hope they are able to do that over the holidays, Christmas, and yeah Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all have a great day today, and yeah okay so on to the message today. This is when the narcissist comes back. You may have been waiting by your phone for a very long time, wondering why you're not receiving a call, wondering why you're not receiving any text messages, any messages on social media, you may be wondering what's going on, you may feel like they've just completely forgotten about you, as though you don't matter, as though you don't even exist, as though they have just ghosted you, and they've just moved on with their lives, and you're just hanging on, waiting for a response, you want to know what's going on, it's driving you crazy, it's keeping you awake late at night, you can't sleep, you don't know what to do, it's eating away at you, and yeah they may feel like they've just completely forgotten about you, despite all of the time that you spend together, it's like you never existed, it's like it never meant anything, and it makes you wonder why, or how, how can they just forget about you like that, how can they just treat you like you're nothing, like you never meant anything to them, when you were together for months or even years, and yeah of course the reason for that is because it was all fake, it wasn't real, it wasn't a relationship as I like to call it, it was just you being this object that existed to serve them, that existed to meet their needs, and it's like that was your only purpose in life, so of course when they're done using you it's so easy for them to just move on, and act like you never existed, because they've just used you up and then they spit you out, so yeah of course it's easy for them to do that, but it wasn't like that for you, it was real, it meant something to you, so of course it's very hard for you to move on, and you're the one who's sitting by the phone, you're waiting for a call, you're waiting for a message, maybe you're waiting for them to knock on your door, ring your doorbell, but nothing's happening, but yeah this is when they come back, this is when you start to hear from them again, this is when they pop right back up, when you start focusing on yourself, when you start worrying about your own life, and worrying what you're doing, when you realize what's more important, because this entire time you've been focused on them and what they're doing, and how they were once with you, they were once everything to you, they were there, and then they just ghosted you, they left you, they moved on like you were never important to them, like you never meant anything, but at some point you get to the point where you're not worried about them anymore, maybe you're thinking okay they're not gonna come back, they're done with you now, or maybe you realize it was all fake, it was all a lie, it was an illusion of significance, of love, happiness and joy, because you never felt like they actually loved you or cared about you, they just used you, and when you realize that it is so easy for you to just move on and forget about them, and when you do that, that is when they will come back, that is when they will be blowing up your phone, they'll be sliding in your DMs, trying to get your attention again, because that's all they really want is your attention, they want that supply, they want that validation, they want to feel like this false character that they've created exists, and they need someone to support the illusion, and that's your job, that's what you're supposed to do, so yeah that's when they're gonna come back, it's when you finally forget about them, when you move on with your life, especially when you move on to someone else, when you find a new partner, someone who actually cares about you, they don't care about that, they'll still come back, these people do not value loyalty, that's why when they were with you they were probably cheating, it's very rare that a narcissist can stay loyal to anyone, they need supply, but yeah this is when they will come back, and actually they do like to come back around the holidays as well, so if you haven't been hoovered already, please do be very cautious that they may hoover you today, or even sometime around the new year, so yeah, as you can see I'm just walking through the park here looking smart today, just had my Christmas lunch earlier, vegan of course, and yeah I think it's morning for most of you, so I hope you all have a great day today, Merry Christmas everyone, and as always please give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it, share the video with anyone you believe it may help, and if you'd like to speak to me one-on-one, you can book a call anytime, just head to my website, it's narksify.uk, and if you'd like to support the community you can leave a donation as well, just head to paypow.me slash narksify, or you can leave a donation in the comments down below as well, all right thank you all for the support, hope you enjoyed this video, and as always I'll talk to you in another one very soon

Welcome traders to this week's live market and trade analysis session with me, Patrick Munner-Lee. Before we get going, as always, we want to adhere to the risk disclaimer most pertinent to today's presentation of the pattern of views and opinions expressed by me are solely mine. They're not indicative or representative of those held by Tick Mill UK or Tick Mill Europe Limited. Those of you here for the first time, a brief introduction to myself. After I graduated from university, I joined a city PLC consulting firm and left with some colleagues and went on to successfully co-found and exit a consulting startup which was focused on C-suite executive search for technology businesses. Essentially, I had a front row seat to the dot-com bubble, witnessing people make and lose a fortune in the market, sometimes quite literally overnight. I decided to explore my curiosity for markets with some capital play with and some time in my hands. I started day trading the S&P 500 or probably more appropriately at that stage, day gambling. As the market started to change, I eventually began to average down into losing positions, giving back all my gains and ultimately experiencing a significant six-figure hit to my capital. Say that was a gut wrenching and severing experience is an understatement. So I really had to stand back and figure out if it was feasible for me to make a living from the market. So I decided to get serious about trading and sought out a mentor with an excellent trading track record. Working with my mentor for a period of 18 months was a time during which I upped not just my technical game in terms of researching, developing, extensively back-and-forward testing strategies that crucially suited my personality, all of which were underpinned by a rigorous risk management approach. But most importantly, during the period of mentorship, I significantly developed my mental game.  So what does that mean? Well, it means I had to stop focusing on what I could make from the markets and start focusing solely on managing my mindset to allow me to consistently execute my trading strategy, oftentimes in the face of negative feedback from the markets in the form of losing trades. But once you become process-orientated and have a professional trading mindset and you set and understand the true nature of trading, being a numbers game in which you are simply playing the probabilities, you lose the emotional investment and that hellish emotional roller coaster of living and dying by the outcomes of individual trades. So I no longer concerned with the outcomes of individual trades or even a small string of trades. I might focus on the next hundred trades because I know by focus on excellence and execution, my edge will demonstrate itself over an extended series of outcomes. My multi-strategy approach has delivered profitable annual returns since 2008. Since 2013, I've also been managing investor capital through a managed account service, again delivering annual positive returns. I'm currently responsible for managing a multi-million dollar portfolio. Since 2010, I've met hundreds of private traders of all experience levels from complete novices to former DME floor traders, developing the technical and mental skills to reap consistent returns from the markets. In addition to my fund management and mentoring, I'm also a resident market expert exclusively providing market and trade analysis to techno clients. I provide an in-depth daily market outlook, breaking down fundamental and technical drivers for the trading day ahead. I also provide daily technical trade setup videos for markets that I'm actively tracking, and I share those through the TickMill blog and through the TickMill trading view accounts. I also run TickMills E-mini strategy Facebook group where I post a daily trade plan outlining my pre-market thoughts for the cash trading session ahead for the S&P 500, giving my bias for the day ahead and specific action areas where I'm looking to engage the markets. These pre-market plans have delivered just under 6,000 points of profit now since we launched the group in April 2021. Second TickMill strategy group I run is for traders who really want to take their trading to the next level. The TickMill futures trading telegram group is a real-time environment. We're on a daily basis. I share in-depth insights, analysis, and real-time trades. I also provide live commentary during the opening hour of the cash session in New York where traders can essentially see in real-time how I dissect the markets and identify asymmetric trading opportunities. These sessions act as a platform helping traders to develop a professional consistent approach to navigating the markets and the mental mind games that must be mastered to make it as a profitable market operator. Okay, so that gives you a flavor of where it is I'm coming from. We will jump into the charts. Before I get going here, as always, if you have any questions, just drop those into the chat and I will come back to them at the end of the presentation. Equally, if you'd like me to give a view on an instrument that I don't cover in my presentation, then again, you can put that into the chat and I'll give you a view on that at the end of my presentation. So let's get going here with the S&P 500, the e-mini futures contract. Again, coming into this week, I wanted to be positioned on the long side. We had key support tested at the 3940s we talked about last week. That held. Yesterday, we got this upside extension after FedChepHow was viewed to be less hawkish than anticipated walking back or potentially walking back the rate of rate increases. Now, he certainly didn't suggest that there was going to be any pause immediately. There would obviously be that would be down the road in terms of an actual pause in the rate, but he did suggest that there could be a slowing in terms of the rate increases and the markets took that as a dovish move. And so we extended to the upside and we tested into the 4100 level. I'm looking for this 4100 to break today and my target to the move is this 4120 to 4130 area. Now, I talked about this as well last week. That is going to take us into this trend channel resistance on the weekly time frame here. And that is going to be a pivotal test for the markets. We will also be completing a symmetry, sorry, an equality objective. So when I talk about equality for those of you who are here for the first time, I'll draw one in, I'll draw more, but essentially what I'm tracking is these equal legs for Elliot Wave as it's that ABC pattern. And you can see, so that gives us the target there of 4127. So I'm anticipating we test the area today and that is going to be a key test for markets. From a sentiment perspective, obviously we saw that big surge yesterday, a washout of short positions. That's my mind, it could be a question of the market now getting overly enthusiastic at poor trade locations. So as we test this resistance, I'm going to be watching for bearish reversal patterns as a potential to engage on the short side. Now, if we blow through these levels is 41, 41, 20, 41, 30, then I'm going to be thinking of the next upside objectives. And my next targets, if we don't get any reaction at these key levels, is going to be 4150 to 4170. My support for today will be these prior highs into the 4050. So when you pull back into 4050, you're going to watch for bullish reversal patterns to engage on the long side, targeting 4120, 4130. We get through there without any bearish reversal patterns. Do note though, at this stage, we do have developing momentum divergence. Now, momentum divergence is a confirmation I use to play countertrend trades at the moment, obviously the short term or the for our perspective is to the long side. So we would consider any trade on the short side of countertrend trade on that specific time frame. But if we can maintain the momentum divergence here, then that will give me additional confirmation to engage on the counter trend side of the trade. So that's the setup that I'm tracking today in the S&P 500, E-mini S&Ps. Let's move to the NASDAQ. NASDAQ again, similar setup to the S&P. What we're looking for is any pullbacks into the 11,940 area, bullish reversal patterns there engage on the long side. Let me just zoom this chart out so you can see the trend channel that I'm tracking here. So we are looking for a test of weekly projected range resistance, daily projected range resistance and this trend line resistance, trend channel resistance coming in 12,230. Similar to that S&P setup, if we get into that area and we maintain momentum divergence, i.e. prices making new highs but we don't get a new high versus the last high in terms of the momentum study here, then we're going to be watching for bearish reversal patterns to engage on the short side. And from that area, the first target on the down side will be back into this support area 11,900. If we get through there, then we have trend line support coming in 11,730. Moving to Dow Jones. So we are looking for a test now. This is the five equals one objective. So if we're going to reference this pullback as our way for low, we have a five equals one which will take us into weekly and daily projected range resistance just below 35,000. Same setup. We get bearish reversal patterns there. I'm going to be looking to engage on the short side, targeting move initially down into trend line support, 34,000 at the high volume there, 33,700. So you can see with these equity indexes specifically, we're coming into some pretty key inflection points. Now, like I say, if we can get through these levels on a daily closing basis, then we could really be starting to think about an acceleration potentially to the outside as shorts really do cover into the year end and we get that seasonal effect, the year end, Santa Ray, et cetera. But for now, I'm paying really close attention to how these markets respond to these key inflection points, certainly with these US equity indexes. Russell, similar scenario here. Russell can actually get up to test range resistance and we are looking for a move into that just below, just above the 2000 level, having a quality objective 1990. So any move into that area for the Russell, again, similar scenario, we're looking for momentum divergence and bearish reversal patterns to engage on the short side. And certainly we'd be thinking about a move back down into the 1910 level in terms of the Russell moving to the Euro area and the DAX. That held that trend channel support and we're extending. So I'm looking now for the for the DAX to extend into its five equals one objective. So we are looking for a test of just above the 15,000 level. So any close through 14,600 on the four hour timeframe, the confirmation to engage on the long side, looking for a move up into that target zone. And then from there, again, I'm going to be watching for momentum divergence to develop. And certainly we can be thinking about a pullback into trend channel support here at the these prior highs again, 14,500 will be the first target for a correction on the downside. The Nifty, this was the this was really the canary in the coal mine. This was the one that led us has led the global markets higher as it's as it made new equity highs. We highlighted this this pullback area and the extension. So we've extended now into the once it's one extension here, 18,960. So once again, with the Nifty, we do have we don't have any momentum divergence yet. So what I would how I use the momentum study to give me a better sense of where we are in terms of the cycle that any near term high that we get is likely now to be a way three high because we don't have that momentum divergence. So what I'm looking for them will be pullbacks into the trend channel support to engage on the long side, looking for that five equals one extension once we can identify that way for low in place. And for now we'd be looking in any pullbacks into the 18,600 area bullish reversal patterns, and we will be looking for that fifth wave extension to develop TLT bonds. Our target last week, we have pulled back into the pitchfork support here, and we're looking for a reversal. So what I again the target for me at this stage now is this 10650 area. Let's show you actually that target is going to be adjusted let's do this. So we're looking for a five equals one from our potential way for low. So that would actually give us a target now in terms of TLT at the 10740. So any close through 10380s on a closing basis for our timeframe, we look to engage on the long side of our target is 10720s, which would complete the initial move here. So this target that we've got will give us an interim upside objective. And again, if we hit this target and we don't have momentum divergence at the moment it is developing, then we could consider this to be a way three high and then we'll be looking for a way four pullback. But for now, we're going to use this as a potential way for low and we're going to target 10720s. Dollar index continue to hold trend channel resistance breaking down. So any pullbacks now that hold this 10620 to 10650, we are looking for our target test into the 104 handle. Now from there I'm anticipating as long as we get this momentum divergence intact, I've been looking for a tradable pullback in terms of the dollar index and certainly we can think about move back into the way for high here, which would give us put us back into the 10770s. So we're going to be seeing now if the dollar can actually trade into that target zone, complete this initial cycle from the swing high here at the 113 level and then we'll be looking to trade the correction before potentially starting another leg to the downside in terms of the dollar index. It's interesting, like I said last week, the synchronicity with the dollar potentially going to test into that 104 as the S&P test into that 4120, 4130. These are key tests now for these markets and if they all reverse in synchronously, that's going to add fuel to these trade setups that I've been talking about. Euro dollar similar scenario, we're looking for that 106 test and we're going to be looking for momentum divergence to be maintained. That 106 coincides with the weekly trend line resistance as well and again we're going to pay close attention to how price responds at these key inflection levels because certainly we can start to think about a tradable pullback in terms of the dollar and the Euro dollar. Similar scenario in terms of cable. Getting close to our target level, 12218 is what we're looking for here. We've got momentum divergence so we're going to be watching the bearish reversal patterns as we test into this area to engage on the short side. Initial target, we're back into trend channel sport, interim trend channel sport here, 12040. So we'll see if we get a response here in terms of cable. If we break, if we don't get a rejection here, next upside objective is going to be 12360s for Sterling but initially we're looking for that 12218 test. Dollar yen, we traded to target last night so we're looking at a new pattern now. What I'm looking for here is any pullbacks into this prior support now to act as resistance. 13760s, again we're looking for bearish reversal patterns from that area to engage on the short side and I'm targeting a move down now into the S3 there, 13320s will be the next downside objective. Technically we have completed an initial five-way sequence on the daily time frame here so we could see a more significant pullback but for now we're going to trade with the trend and so any move back into that 13760s we want to watch the bearish reversal patterns and engage on the short side. At this stage we really need to close back through this interim trend channel resistance high volume nodes 13940s, 140 area to suggest a more meaningful corrective move is likely to play out and that would give us a retest of the wave floor high into that 14230, 14250 level. Euro yen has an interesting setup that's developing here, let me just zoom out so you can see, so what we're tracking here is what Elliot Wavre has referred to as a WXY pattern, this is our X wave low, we're looking for a Y, sorry from our X wave high here at 14614, we have the equality objective, 14029, we have some trend channel support coming in, so I'm looking for any move into this area, watch for bullish reversal patterns here to engage on the long side, first call will be the midpoint of the channel, 14280s if we can get through there, we look for the high volume node and trend channel resistance up towards 145, similar scenario developing in terms of sterling dollar, sorry sterling yen as we hold trend channel resistance here, internal trend channel resistance once just 16680s, 167, watch for bearish reversal patterns there, I'm looking for a move down to break through the support here 16307 into our WXY objective which is 15980s also coincides with 50% retracement of the move from the lows and we have this price swing low here also coming in 15980s, so some juicy targets to trade for on the downside here if we get the rejection into the projected trend channel resistance, dollar CAD, target level now, new target for dollar CAD here is going to be 13020s, we are looking now for a confirmation breakthrough, this trend line support here, 13380s to engage on the short side and we're trying to move down to projected trend channel support 13033 for the dollar CAD, Aussie getting close to our target level here we are looking for a move into the 6890s to complete this initial upside objective and pullbacks then remain supportive we've actually we'll have a new target then up into the 70 level and draw in what we will be looking for here, so we will look for pullbacks from our target zone into the prior highs to actor support, trend channel support coming in there 6760s we'll be looking to engage on the long side, targeting move up to the 70 level once we once we tag this initial target zone here at the 6890s, Kiwi dollar traded to our 63 target and we are looking now for any pullbacks into the 6280s to engage on the long side, targeting move up now to test the 6430s as the next technical upside objective in terms of the Kiwi dollar, gold I'm looking for gold now to test 1811 from there I'm watching for bearish reversal pattern so think about it as gold is testing this just above the 1800 level that dollar index should be testing that 104 which had the S&P testing up into that 4120, 4130 for all these line up and we get a bearish reversal pattern here in terms of the in terms of gold I'll be looking for a pullback into the 1730 the midpoint of the channel before we start the next leg to the upside so what I'm anticipating initially how I approach these setups is that I'm looking for a correct I'm looking to trade a correction now the correction can develop into an impulse leg and then we have a new trend to trade but for now we're thinking about these in terms of corrective moves off of some of these key levels, silver any move up into the 2280s watch for bearish reversal patterns there as I want to get some momentum divergence in play to engage on the short side first target to the downside is going to be 2140s in terms of silver crude oil trading just shy above five equals one objective seeing a nice strong bounce there in terms of crude so what I'm looking for now is crude trade up into the prior wave for high here 8240s then look for a let me draw it and actually make it a bit near for you guys so we look for an extension here up into that 8230, 8250 level and there we're looking for a three wave corrective move to ideally get us back into this 7750 before looking for bullish reversal patterns to engage on the long side and then we'll be targeting the move up into the high volume node there 8813 and that well will come just potentially just shy again what I'm looking for is an equality objective here so 8650s would be the initial target and then we would have that extra magnet of the high volume node at the 8813 so watch for bearish reversal patterns here as the way for three wave corrective move ideally back into this high volume node 7860s 7770s before looking for the next leg to the upside in terms of crude Bitcoin still just trapped in this range we were looking for support to hold just above the 16000 level it did traded into that first target so I was looking for 17100 those who follow my daily outlook I'm now looking for this 16600 16500 to act as support and ultimately then we look for a test up into the trend channel resistance just below 18000 in terms of Bitcoin actually let me just update this channel here let me use that and that so yeah we look for a move here into the 17300 then we're looking to use this midpoint of the channel of support for targeting a test of the trend channel resistance to the upside just below 18000 we'll finish up here looking at keyway sorry the swissing swiss is still trading technically versus the 9380s we could get an equality test up into the 9620s before ultimately we are looking for a test of 9140s as the downside objective in the swissie so any close through that 9350s would be confirmation on the short side totally moved down to the 9150s as the next downside objective that concludes the whistle stop markets I'm tracking this week we are like I say we are about to test some pretty key levels for those who want to follow along with respect to my analysis on a daily basis I will post into the chat this is the idea stream for the tick mill trading accounts and you can see my my trade analysis on a daily basis there post those videos updating these key charts and like I say we are about to test some pretty key levels here which could define certainly the next week or two in terms of in terms of price action and for those who want to get the daily trade plan that I share in the Facebook group just request access here and you'll get access to the daily trade plan along with some other interesting institutional insights I post into that that group so for me today guys really the focus is going to be on this S&P and the test of this 4120 4130 and we'll see if any sellers are at home as always traders plan the trade trade the plan and most importantly manage your risk until next week thanks very much


Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com You are watching one of my studio travel videos and today I am taking you to the fast food chain restaurant Hungry Jacks in Australia When I first saw Hungry Jacks in Australia, it struck me because of its similarities with Burger King Later on I found out that Hungry Jacks is indeed Burger King in Australia Burger King could not trademark its name because it was already taken so it went with the name Hungry Jacks The Whopper tasted the same at Hungry Jacks in Australia as it does in Canada or in the US Prices were very comparable as well In the next few videos, I will be sharing my experiences in Australia with you Thank you for watching, forget about subscribing to this channel, forget about liking this video I will see you shortly


Good morning everyone. Welcome to this session. Let's begin this time with the word of prayer. Maybe one of us can please lead the word of prayer. Yes, go ahead. Anybody can lead please. Please. Amen. Thank you, Rebecca. Alright, so we've been talking about urban church planting. We looked at many areas from the beginning. We looked at how it's important to understand the definition and objectives of church planting. Why are you starting a church? What does Jesus say when he said go and make disciples? Church planting is one of those ways. Then we also looked at how God sees a certain city. God has a heart for every city, every nation. God has plans, purposes. And when you and I, as believers, we begin to launch out a ministry or our own church, we must be able to be sensitive, develop the ability to be sensitive to another heart for the city. Jesus cried over Jerusalem and we see in the Old Testament, Jeremiah had a heart for what was happening in the city of Jerusalem. And so when you and I as believers, God is asking us to pioneer a ministry, have a heart for the city, a love for the people, a love for the city. That's very important. Then we looked at two important factors in terms of church planting. One is the natural dynamics. Now, remember, ministry is spiritual but there's also the natural. The Bible is spiritual but also has a lot of natural things that we have to do. And so we look at natural dynamics, demographics of the place, economy, historical background, political system, what is happening, understand them. And get a feel of the city, get a feel of the people, the language, the culture, get a feel of it. Now, especially if you are planting a church in a city where you have been born and raised or you're familiar with the city, then we don't have to spend much time. But if you're looking at starting at another city or another nation, it involves a lot of background work of studying the natural dynamics. Now, we're not saying that only if we study the natural dynamics can we do well in the spiritual. No. We need to be wise. We need to walk in wisdom. So what did the apostle Paul do? Whenever he went, remember to the people of Crete, he says, your own poets have said this. So he studied about the poets of Crete and he looks at in the book of Acts, he says he goes to Athens and Corinth. He's able to look at the natural dynamics. And so it's very important that we do that. And even as we do that, that's our background. Our main standing is on the work of the Holy Spirit. Natural dynamics is for us to know how to do ministry, but our dependence is completely on the spiritual, on the work of the Holy Spirit. Because only the Holy Spirit can minister, can touch people's lives. And so remember that Paul says we are not wrestling against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers of darkness, against Satan. Let me look at revelations too and what the spiritual dynamics were of the church in Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira and Philadelphia. So you and I can, when we plan to look at a church pioneering ministry, try to find what is the spiritual dynamics of that city or that area. It could be human trafficking, prostitution, what is happening, bonded labor, trafficking, drugs, alcohol abuse, domestic violence, child abuse, all of these things. And then you and I can really pray that God will begin to open doors and the work of the Holy Spirit will minister to them. Now, one of the books that I can recommend you to read, now it does not talk about spiritual dynamics or natural dynamics, but we see that in the book. And that's the cross and the switchblade where this young pastor goes into New York City from the villages of, I think he was in another city, but he goes into New York, into the city. And how he began to understand the dynamics, what's happening there. And he was able to balance both the natural and the spiritual and God was able to impact him so powerfully. And there's also Jackie Pulinger's book called Chasing the Dragon where she goes into China and was able to start a ministry between drug addicts and prostitutes and how the Holy Spirit ministered and how she was able to be both understand the natural dynamics of Hong Kong and China and also she was able to see the spiritual dynamics, what was the main concern in Hong Kong and those neighboring cities. So these are two wonderful books you can read about it if you'd like, if you have time. All right, so then we looked at church planting, getting started, we looked at the survey phase. Today we'll get into chapter 11 talking about the launch phase. Now we've done our survey, we've done our preparation. We've had a core team, we've gone out as a core team, we have prayed, we have searched for a place. We probably spend about six months to one year just meeting in a small group praying for the launch. And when you know that God has told you, okay, go. Let's start it. That is your launch phase. So you only launch once. Now you can't do a launch every two, three times. It's like launching a product. You launch a product into the market, you can't keep launching. You launch it once, then you get new products, then you launch that. But in a ministry, in a church, you have one launch. Now there are two options on how you launch. Number one option is you already have your core team. You have about maybe six or seven or maybe even 10 people. You announce to them, okay, next Sunday, this Sunday will be the Sunday, the first Sunday of the church. Now remember that you have already shared with the core team. You have already shared the values, the vision, everything. So you can do it quietly. You can have, you know, just have a, you know, even if it's a house in the house or even if it's a small hall that you have rented out, you can do it. You can go there, have the service timing, everything ready, you know, worship, lyrics for the worship, everything, all the practical things have it ready. And you can start with a simple way. So you can also tell the core team people, you know, hey, are we starting? So feel free to invite people and come. That is option one, simple way. Option two is you have a special launch, right?  So what you can do is take another month and have a month of promotions, right? You can do newspaper inserts. You can, we can do some kind of promotions in, you know, one-on-one promotions or you can reach out to a target audience. That is one. And then you can also have it. You can launch as a healing service or a music concert, a gospel meeting, anything. Make it big, right? So you're basically doing a lot of promotion for the church, right? Or you can start it off as a youth meeting, a youth concert, music concert, or a dance concert, anything, whatever you feel like. Right? But then again, the word also should be there. It should be like a church service as well. So you can choose that, right? Either a simple start or a big, you know, concert with a lot of promotions and all of that. Now, how APC started was in a very small way. And so it was Pastor and his family and a few others who got to know about that the church plant is going to happen. APC is going to start. So they were about 12 people in the house, Pastor's father's house, small gathering, very small. And I know that, you know, they did a little bit of, I think it was newspaper inserts and from those newspaper inserts, few of them got those invites and they found the place and they came. So it was not something very grand like a music concert or anything, right? But on the flip side, if you look at places like Mangalore, what we did was we had like a music concert, right? We hired a hall, I think it was way back in 2002 or 2002, 2003, somewhere around that time. Hired a hall, said, OK, music concert, few people came. And then from the next Sunday, we said, OK, church is happening in this place. If you'd like to come, come. So we've done both of it, both, right? And both works. So the choice is entirely up to you. But just remember, if you're doing it in a big way, you will need to have funds for, you know, for the promotions, right? You'll need to have funds for reaching out for newspaper inserts or either for that or for making the printouts available, printing it out. And so all of this, you must be prepared, right? And then there are, again, other different approaches that you can try. These are just two that we have mentioned. You can also try in a way of, you know, a fellowship, a regular service with a fellowship meal, right? Or you can also try, you know, a sports, first Sunday of a sports day, right? Now, this is just examples. I'm not saying you have to do any of these, but these are ways that you can. You can start. Now, here's important. First thing, the first church service, keep it simple, right? Now, even as you keep it simple, remember not to, there's a saying, right? Don't major on the minors or minor on the majors, right? Keep it simple. Something new people will find easy to follow. Now, how can they keep it simple? So for example, you expect 20 people in your launch, in your first Sunday service, right? So simple is choose the person who's leading worship, make sure that that person is choosing simple songs, songs that everyone can sing, right? Now, this is just an example, right? Simple songs, all of them can sing, right? Not very complicated. Now, you may have a full band. You may not have a full band. You may just have one guitar or one keyboard with a couple of singers. That's all right. The point is choose simple songs, right? Make it easy for people to follow, right? So what you can do is you have, you start off, you can either start with 10 minutes of prayer, right? It's after 10 minutes of prayer, 40 minutes of worship, then 10 minutes of your few announcements, and you wouldn't need 10 minutes, but keep that time for 10 minutes. You're just explaining the vision of the church. And then the remaining time, maybe 45 minutes for God's word, ministry time close, keeping it simple. Now, why? In the first service, you're setting expectations. Your first service sets the expectations of the people, what they can expect going forward in the church. You're setting your expectation. Now, picture this. Sorry, this is going to be a bad example, but please picture this. Imagine it's your first Sunday. You're going to start the church this Sunday, and the projector is not working. There's no lyrics. The projector is not working. One. Or imagine this church service starts at 8 a.m. And it's 8, 5, and we haven't started yet. What happened? You're setting expectations. So what will happen is those who are coming to the service will feel anyway, church starts at 8. They normally start at 8, 5, or 8, 10. So I'll go to church at 8.30. What's happening? Expectations. Now, if you look at the positive side, if the church starts at 8 o'clock and you've got a new couple or a new two boys who've come into youth, boys or girls, it doesn't matter. Two youth have come and sat. They say, okay, it's 8 o'clock and they see sharp 8 o'clock you started. What happens? Expectations are set. So these youth or the couple is going to say, hey, this church, nobody had come. Only four or five of us were there, but they started at 8 a.m. So for them, it doesn't matter. Time is time. What's happening? Expectations are set. One of the things that we can do in the launch phase, make sure that you have everything set up and don't, you know, avoid last minute works. Now, you know, maybe many 15, 20 years ago, we would give printouts for songs. Okay, these are the songs you can sing. Now people have phones, right? And to have a projector is not a big deal. Or even if you can't afford a projector, it could be expensive or you don't have a projector screen. It's okay. What you can do is, you know, probably send the, you have the lyrics ready with you, right? But make it simple because what you do now will last for a long time. Of course, over time, things in church will change the way we have service. But the initial expectations are very important. If you say started 8, started 8. You say finish at 10, finish at 10. Don't go on till 10.30. Oh, but we are in God's presence. No, that's okay. You got to, we got to honor people's time. Right. Of course, it's a holiday. If people want to go back, they have to look after other things. But you say 8 to 10, try to stay with 8 to 10. Start on time and on time. Right. Because what they see now going forward, that's the expectation. Now look at this as a pastor. If you start off the start of the first Sunday with, you know, too much of the instead of the word, you're giving too many examples, cracking jokes and trying to get the audience or the people to enjoy the sermon more than the word of God, what's happening? You're going to say, hey, this is what we can expect. We can expect a few jokes. We can expect this in the sermon and we can expect, expectations are set. Right. Or what if in a sermon, you know, there's preachers goes on in the first Sunday I'm talking about, right? Talks about, you know, finances and this is what we need. And then imagine the people who have just come here. You're just launching. You're saying what all you need. You know, what are the expenses in the church now? And so be very sensitive when you launch. Right. Share your vision. That is very important. Now you may have few new people coming in for the first Sunday. Share your vision. Now the core team, you may have already shared it with them. Hundreds of times. That's all right. Share it again. Share the vision and show them how they can be part of the vision. Right. So for example, you can say, hey, the vision that we have for, you know, as, as, as we start this church, we may be 20 people here right now. But the vision that we have is we will be able to penetrate into all the spheres of influence in our city. We can be the salt. We will be the light. We are 20 people, but one day will come when we will be 2000 people and you can be part of that vision. What are you doing? Vision invigorates. Right. Oh man, now we are 20, but there will be a time when you'll be 20,000 or 2000, 20,000 people in church and it invigorates. It captures them. Right. Welcome them to be part of the vision. Don't force them. Welcome them. Let your life speak. Let your vision speak to them. The vision that is there in your heart when you share it with, with that same intensity when you're able to, when you really believe and trust your vision, people will grasp that vision and join along with you. Right. Be willing to share your vision. Be willing to, you know, ask them to ask those who attend your church to, you know, be welcome them to your vision, share in the vision and let them know that, hey, we're going to raise up leaders. It's not a one man show. We're going to raise up leaders. You can also be part of this. We're going to start life groups. We're going to start cell groups. We're going to start Bible study groups and we're going to plant many other churches. This is just the beginning. Right. We, we look to start at four or five churches in the city and then we also look to going outside of the city, blessing our nation. We, we want to see the missions teams. We want to see evangelism teams, healing teams. This is what we want to see and invite them to be part of it. Right. But even as we do that, let our focus, everything that we do be focused on Jesus. It is very easy to get the focus on us. So we're going to be talking. Hey, this, you know, this is what we're going to do. It's very easy for the focus to be turned towards either church growth or the focused on towards a person or the ministry itself or the things that we're doing in the ministry. No, the focus should be Jesus. Remember what Jesus says, I am the vine. You are the branches. Though that day that stay or abide in me shall bear fruit. So remember that he is the vine. We are the branches. We never cut off from him. He is the focus. He is the one who's going to bless the ministry. He will bless our efforts in the ministry. Right. So these are very simple points, but very important points. What you and I do in the initial stages will leave a mark in the person till the end. I remember speaking to an elderly woman from our church and she's been a member. And I got to know that she had attended the first Sunday of ABC service, first Sunday. Right. And I, this happened, I think in 2013-14 when I got to, when I spoke to her many, many years, and she's still attending ABC, right. And I asked her one thing. On the first Sunday, what is it that you remember? You know what is the first thing she said? She said we started on time. That's the first thing she said. We started on time. And she also said that the vision was shared. Right. And the first Sunday, there was a request for volunteers needed. There were very few people in church, but volunteers needed this different areas. Right. And to date, if you see, we don't start our Sunday services late. We're always on time. Unless there is some unforeseen, something that has happened that, you know, that it has to be delayed very rarely. Why? Because they're well prepared. Now, we did it service one. We're continuing to do that now. It starts now. We'll continue later. I remember speaking to this, you know, this person and she said, on the first Sunday, when the vision was shared, everyone believed the vision. There were 12 of them in the room. What is the vision? To be salt and light to the city of Bangalore, a voice to the nation, the nations. And the vision was to start many churches in Bangalore, many churches out of Bangalore start missions. There were only 12 people, but there were people who captured that vision. Right. So don't look at what you have right now. You may have nothing with you. You may have a room with three people. If God is telling you to start, start. Be faithful and small, and God will give you bigger things. Of course, you plan to prepare, but don't look at what you have now. I always say this. Big doors open on small hinges. The hinges of the door are very small. It's not the size of the door, but the door is resting on those hinges. So when you open a door or close it, it's the hinges that are doing most of the work. So we must be, we must keep everything focused on Jesus. Don't look at what we are now, but look at what God can do in the ministry for us. Right. Then a few practical tips. Plan for, follow up. Some of the things that we must do is, in welcoming new people is to follow up through their journey. So plan well. So one of the things that we do at APC is we have something called as first time visitors. We call it FTV, first time visitors. So they have a card, they fill up the card. It has name, phone number, email address, and thread request as well. So what we do is when we receive those cards and over time, this process has been developed. As of now, what we do is once we get those cards, we have a three step procedure that we follow. Step number one is, of course, those details are added on an Excel sheet. Right now, we have something called as a CHMS, which all our data goes there. But in your launching phase, you may not have all of those softwares, but you can just have a regular Excel sheet, maintain those records. And so you can have an Excel sheet, name, number, contact details, email address, prayer request, and maybe even the age group area that they stay in. So three step process. One is we have the welcome call. So we call them up and say, thank you so much for visiting our church.  We get to know about the person. And then we see the prayer request. We say, hey, you sent in your prayer request. Let's, I want to pray for you. Can we pray for a moment? And then if the person, now as you're talking to the person, you get to know whether he or she is interested or if she is part of another church, we tell them to be faithful there. But if they're not part of another church and we're looking for a church, we say, okay, please feel free to join us, see if this is where you, God wants you to be planted. And then we do a welcome call. So normally if they are interested, we also connect them to a life group. If they're interested, we give them details. Then the following Sunday, the Sunday comes, the next Sunday, if they come to church, it's wonderful you talk to them, but we have a welcome call one, then you have follow up call one, and then follow up call two. Now what is happening? Through these calls, we are building a rapport. There will be times when people will say, no, I want to go to this church or I'm just visiting. So we just, you know, maybe you can market in your Excel sheet, do not call or do not disturb already part of another church. And you can, you know, just market red or so you know, okay, this person, I don't need to follow up, but the others, your plan, how you're going to, how and when will you welcome these visitors, right? Have a way of receiving their contact information. So basically what we do is the card, right? So you get, these are very simple pointers, right? Now over time we have learned this. So if we look at it now, we also have an online audience. So we have or apcwo.org slash FTV, first time visitor. So a person who's watching online can just go there, fill in their details. We get their details via email. We give them a call, thank them, pray for them. And they could be just watching us online. That's all right. So there's just develop a way of getting their details. It's a very simple thing. Have a place and time for them to interact formally and get to know at least few people in the church, right? So when it comes to this portion, now remember the first time visitors, when you launch a church, when you got new people coming into the church, they must be number one priority to the church. Now imagine you got first time visitors, they've come to church and then after the church service, you're saying, okay, why didn't the speaker work? Why is the projector like this? And they are just standing there, nobody to talk to, no. So what we have set in place, now again, I'm sharing all of this because it's over time, we have learned, we have gone through our set of challenges and failures and we've learned over time. So even as you launch, you can do it and service one. First Sunday itself, you can start all of this, right? You have a core team, you can start something called as the welcome team or a follow-up team. Now what does the welcome team do? They stand at the entrance and welcome those who are coming to church, right? So even when the first time visitors details come to us, right? These, the welcome team has already spoken to them, right? And after the service, we can also, what we do is we tell our folks in New York church, we have a visitors welcome visitors launch, FTV visitors launch, please meet with some of our volunteers there, they'll be able to interact with you. Now, since it's the initial phase of the church, it's, you just launched maybe a couple of Sundays have gone by, it'll be good that as a pastor you are also there, right? As the leader, the pioneer of the church, you'll be there. And over time you build a team and you build a team to look after. But of course, for prayers people will come to you because you are the leader of the church, they will come, that's all right, right? But what's happening?  We will have this, we will have a place, visitors launch, and here people can ask questions, they can talk, new visitors, if they have questions about the church, they can come there, talk to us, right? Again, in the initial phase, it'll be good as pastors to call up there, or visitors. Now, even now, right, after so many years, we have five locations right now in Bangalore. So what we do is, we ourselves make the calls to the first time visitors. We also have a member care team, even the pastors make the call. We do follow up calls to the first time visitors because they've come to church, they've probably met you, and they would probably prefer getting a, you know, they would like, it's nice to get a call from the pastor of the church, the leader of the church. Then you invite them back, connect them to a small group, right? Now, in the initial phase, right, you can start something small. You can just have regular, you know, just cardboard pieces, cardboard, KG cardboard, you know, just small cutouts, and then you can ask them to write their name, contact number, email address, and a prayer request at the back. Now, over time you can get things, right, with your own branding, right? So you can put your church logo, put your church name and address and vision of the church. Over time you can do all that, right? Because all of that involves money and planning and, but initial phases just keep it simple, right? Now, you may not have cordless mics. You may have just a wired mic. It's all right. You may not have, you know, a big stage to start off with. It's okay, right? Start with what you have. Start simple, right? And if you look at now, you know, getting instruments and all of that, over time we can improve ourselves, right? But the initial phase, it's okay to start small, right? Because sometimes what happens is we feel, oh man, you know, look at this church, they're doing it so well. They have an LED screen. They have, you know, such good instruments. I also want to do that. Now, that's good. But must understand that this is happening after 20 years. It was not there 20 years back when they started, when we started, right? So over time, we improve. So it's okay to start small and to start in a simple way, right? But these are important things. Planning for how to follow up starting, you know, small teams like the welcome team, mushrooming team, right? Or maybe even a prayer team, right? You may be 10 people. It's okay. Form the team. The team will grow. Right? There'll be a time in your launch phase. All 10 of them will be in one team. That's okay. Right? Don't feel, oh man, no breeze. It's okay. Let it be. It starts small. And eventually the team will grow. What are you doing? You're setting in place this whole mindset that ministry, this church is not running by one person. There are teams. There are people involved and together we're getting the vision. Together we are working on this vision. We are fulfilling the vision to be salt and light. Right? So over time, you look back you know, after 10 years you'll have many new teams. Your existing teams would have grown and you know that it is a team effort in this ministry. Right? Did Jesus do this? Yes. The first thing he did after his 40 days of fasting he came back and he chose the 12 disciples. First thing he did. Right? What did the apostle Paul do? So I'm going to launch out in ministry. Took Barnabas. Second missionary journey. Took Timothy and Silas. Wherever he went, he went as a team. That's God's design. Right? So that's how we can plan for follow up. It's very important. What we do, welcome call. Follow up one, follow up two and then we you know, connect them to a team or even if they decide to move on, we just feel free. We don't force anybody. Right? Any questions on this? Right? The first service, the first launch. It's very exciting. It is an exciting time. You know, your heart is so you know, so joyful for God's faithfulness it's also important to press on through those after the first service after one month, after two months, after a year, you may see the church is growing. Sometimes the church may take time to grow. It's alright. Stay with the vision. Continue to minister to those who are there. Right? Trust your people. Trust your church members. Right? Give them responsibilities. Believe in what they are doing for you as well. Okay, let's get into chapter 12 before that. Any questions on this launch phase? First service. Your questions. Okay. Okay. I understand that all of us have you know, are making a note and understanding this. It's very important that we, you know, apply this when we are starting off. Okay. Chapter 12. We did this in the first semester. We did a little bit of lifestyle evangelism. We talked about urban evangelism and urban missions. But this let's quickly look at a few aspects here. Right? Now, prior to and also after the launch of a church of your of the local church, the and the local church must engage in urban evangelism. We must engage. Right? We must be able to evangelize, build evangelism teams. Right? And again, we teach as leaders, we form teams, we teach people in the church. Right? And urban missions, urban evangelism, both these words are interchangeable and these are different methods of bringing the gospel to people. Right? But even as we do this, remember, wholesome methods are spirit-led, legal and ethical. Legally, we talked about it, register your church, register your ministry. Be spirit-led, be ethical. I don't say this is just a service you know, inviting people to church. Don't say, no, this is just a service, just some youth getting together. Don't say that. Tell them it's a church service and this service is for people. It's talking about, we're talking about the Bible, we're talking about Jesus, it's a Christian church. Right? So be ethical. We become all things to people in order to reach them, be culturally sensitive, be culturally relevant. What works in one place may not work in another place. So again, just be wise in that, right? Even as you begin to evangelize urban missions, certain places online digital marketing may work. In certain places, no. Street evangelism or reaching out to schools, colleges may work. So you see what works, right? So there's a question here. What hinders us from stepping into people's world? Right? You know, often at times, if we are in ministry, pioneering phase, we are so, we are in a certain world, right? This is the church, this is the ministry, this is how it should be one day. All that is good, but we need to step into their world to reach out to them. If I have a vision to reach out to corporates across the city, I need to step into their world. Now, how do I do it? It doesn't mean you have to join the corporate and get a job, but what you can do is begin to understand what is the demographics of corporate sectors. One thing we know is work-life balance that is missing. Stress in the workplace, right? People are unfair treatment or unfair, no opportunities, right? So, we begin to understand what they are going through. Step into their world, right? And we don't, we seek not to intentionally offend people, but minister in such a way to draw them to Christ. We do ministry where, you know, Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 6, 3 and 4 in a way that there is no opportunity to blame. He said, we were blameless. We looked to our own hands. We made our own food. We ate of our own. We looked after ourselves. We never asked for anything. We never asked you for money. We never asked you for material. We looked after ourselves. We were never a burden for you. Why? Because you wanted to do ministry. Blameless. So, God has commissioned us to preach, share the gospel, share about Jesus Christ. Even if we are told not to do it. Right? We may, you know, all these bills that are coming up, they may come up stringent, even more stringent bills may come up, but we must make sure that the gospel is shared. Right? And when we are preaching, we we make sure that we not violate people. Right? Meaning their rights, their property, their time, their sentiments. Don't violate them. Right? Honor them. They may be somebody who is very small. Right? But honor them. Honor their time. Honor their their rights. Right? And then we identify and develop different strategies for different age groups, different areas in the city, different spheres. We have seven spheres of influence, seven mountains or seven spheres. And then we develop strategies. How do we enter into these spheres of influence? Leveraging tools that we have. One of the things that really you know, I was that really struck my mind was the use of Instagram and Facebook, right? Over the last six months, especially right now, in the church that we are in the east of Bangalore. It's a corporate sector as I've mentioned. We had about 30 or FTBs over the last six months. And I'm just giving an example, right? So out of that, about 30, I'm just giving a rough number. It's not exactly 30. But out of that 30, 95% of them came through Facebook ads and Instagram. 95% of them. And the other 5% was we had a worship evening once and then we had some of our church folks they invited people. 95% of them came via Facebook ad, via promotion on Instagram. Social media. So leverage tools see what you can do. And now it is said that you know, certain city, India is the highest number of Instagram users in the world. We've got the highest number. Now this is a this is something that I read a couple of years ago. I don't know if this is the same, but it's one of definitely one of the highest number of Instagram users in the world. So leveraging. And then you got different age group. You got the teens. You got children. You got teens. But what we do is we'll stop here. We'll start next week. Tomorrow we'll start with strategies for different age groups. So we have children, then we have teens, then we have youth, then we have middle-aged, then we have senior citizens. And so we look at different strategies, but what works here may not work in different cities. So we'll be open to different ideas, but we look at strategies that we can use to help us build our ministries. Right. Any questions, any thoughts? Right. So feel free to know if you have any questions about church planting or any pots that you have. Feel free to, you know, I know we can probably take some time to share your plans as well. It's all right, even if you haven't chocked it out or haven't really made the plan a solid plan, but we can share our plans and see how we can go about fulfilling what God wants us to do. All right. Thank you so much. Have a great day ahead. I'll see you tomorrow. God bless.
