Where We Serve
Collective Initiatives
The 787 Collective Process at Work:
1. Convene
Guided by Christ’s example, we convene strategic collectives to imagine and empower innovation for God’s Kingdom purposes
2. Catalyze
Having discerned the vision, each collective unites as one body to catalyze expertise, initiate research, allocate funding, and build solutions. Critically we establish common metrics, and define our outcomes.
3. C2It
Providing facilitation, mediation and project management to achieve desired outcomes.
IGNITE PRAYER
Convene: 787 convened prayer ministry leaders from across Canada to ask, “is God asking us to do something in prayer that can only be done if we do it together?” The answer was “yes!”
Catalyze: Due to the resounding “yes,” a steering team with 5 ministry partners was formed to articulate and refine the group’s collective vision, develop the strategic plan, and guide its implementation.
C2It: 787 Collective plays a pivotal role as the ‘backbone’ engine, providing crucial support to the steering committee and partners to ensure the initiative progresses. This support includes administrative, digital, communications, and financial assistance, which are instrumental in moving the Ignite Prayer Collective forward.
DIGITAL YOUTH INITIATIVE
Convene: 787 convened a group of youth ministry leaders to discern the question we always ask, “Is God asking to do something that can only be done if we do it together?” At this meeting, the group did not discern a collective direction, but a dinner conversation between several ministry leaders sparked a conversation on reaching students who have no relationship with a person of faith through digital outreach. This needed further discussion.
Catalyze: 787 initiated a conversation with the interested ministry leaders. This proactive step led to the catalyzation of a ministry direction that all agreed should be researched to discern if a unique opportunity was presenting itself to us.
C2It: 787 provided the funding to enlist a research project leader to provide the ministry leaders with the data they need to make an informed decision whether to move forward with this ministry opportunity.
