Using spreadsheets to help spread the Message

A quick highlight on a “tool in the toolbox” that the friends can use to organize their efforts: In North of Atlanta, GA (B), an Excel spreadsheet is being used to record service pledges by the believers in that cluster. The following message was sent out to the Bahá’ís:


Dear Friends,


Our cluster is on the go and we are gaining momentum. Attached, please find an Excel spreadsheet with the countdown to our Intensive Program of Growth. I have added those names to the list who have volunteered thus far. Please respond with your availability and I will add your name and send this out periodically. Even if you can serve for an hour, your help is needed!


Lovingly,


M


Among the various events on the spreadsheet are several “test teaching” efforts to prepare the friends for their first intensive program of growth, as well as intensive-format institute courses for youth and adults. Already, many of the believers have signed up their names to serve.
