This presentation is for the Leadership Team of The Christian AOT Network

1. Introducing The Christian AOT Network TEAM HANDBOOK For Directors, Co-Directors, and Facilitators

2. Starting Check-List Please initial as many of the statements that apply to you! _____ I have prayed and/or fasted about my decision to become a Chapter Director, Chapter Co-Director and/or Teleconference/Webinar Facilitator. _____ I have visited www.christianauthorsontournetwork.com and read through the website thoroughly – meaning I’ve clicked on all of the tabs and taken the time to familiarize myself with the criteria for membership, and I understand the network benefits. _____I have visited The Christian AOT Network’s Facebook page and clicked “LIKE.” _____I know the Bible foundation scripture for The Christian AOT Network. _____ I have shared information about The Christian AOT Network with at least one other people. _____ I have posted information about my books, my ministry, events and/or business on The Christian AOT Network’s Facebook page. _____I have posted at least one discussion point and/or I replied to a discussion point on The Christian AOT Network’s Facebook page. _____I have visited the prayer discussion group to read and pray for the posts listed or I have posted a prayer in the prayer discussion section of The Christian AOT Network’s Facebook page. NOTE: You do not have to share your answers with me or anyone else, but I will ask you about the self-assessment during our telephone chat which I will schedule with each of you individually. It’s a good place to start the conversation in terms of assessing how vested you are in finding your niche in the network and figuring out how to make it work for you.

3. Self-Assessment : If you have initialed less than 6 of the statements on the checklist from the prior page, you should probably reconsider whether or not this is the best income earning opportunity for you at this time. Think of this way. If this were a test, six out of eight correct answers would have given you a score of 75%. Anything less than that would have been failing. I guess the point I am trying to stress here is that the success of The Christian AOT Network is dependent in large part due to your active participation and follow-through. And how one starts a thing is usually how one finishes it. So, if you aren’t participating now and taking an active interest in helping to promote the network or even taking the time to read the information that helps you understand what the network is about, then you probably won’t do it later. Although I appreciate your interest, The Christian AOT Network is a new venture that will need people who are fully vested in and committed to participating, supporting, praying and promoting its growth. Please don’t take this the wrong way. If you are really interested in being an active team member and you have initialed less than six items, I would suggest you stop reading this guide and take a moment to complete each of the tasks listed on the prior page. Once you have done so, redo the check-list and continue onto the next page.

4. The Christian AOT Network ….Equipping writers with the skills and support to use writing as a tool for Christian ministry The Christian AOT Network … because there are some things Christian writers just ought to know! NOTE: These are the two main slogans you might see in reference to the Christian AOT Network. The first speaks to our mission and the second speaks to our expected outcomes.

How are you involved in the Launch? If you schedule a workshop in any month before July, your workshop is considered part of the Beta Launch of The Christian AOT Network. This is a trial and error period that will give us some time to work out the kinks and regroup, if necessary. IMPORTANT REMINDER : Directors, Co-Directors and Teleconference/Webinar Facilitators play an integral role in the professional development and spiritual strengthening of Christian AOT members.

In the back office, members will be able to sign-up for upcoming professional development activities [i.e. teleconference/webinars or blogtalk radio shows] and access links to lots of free sites that help Christians grow their understanding of the Word of God and improve their writing.
