As part of its commitment to its partnership with Emmaus Ministries communities around the world, The Upper Room continues to oversee the development of its Ministry Manager application. With this tool, The Upper Room offers all partner communities an opportunity to spend more of their time and energy partnering with local churches and works with communities to renew their members in the Christian faith and in their commitment to Christian leadership. As progression in the stages of development continues, Ministry Manager presently comes with many functionalities.
The Database section enables communities to keep a record of persons who, over the years, have participated in an event (Walk, Flight, Encounter) as a first-time participant or as a team member. Communities can use other functions to manage various aspects of their work. Walks, Flights, and Encounters can be organized quickly and efficiently as team selection, role assignments, prayer vigils, community group events, agape, board meetings, Mass Messaging, and Covenant Agreement functions are facilitated by the use of the app.
There continues to be great excitement around Ministry Manager, and community leaders are encouraged to reach out to the Upper Room Emmaus Ministries office for further information on how their community might have access to this revolutionary tool.
If you have any difficulties or questions or would like to know more about Ministry Manager and how it can assist your community, please email [email protected].
