​​1. The iscipleship Process  is done in 2 stages ​​​​​

i. The outlined of the curriculums- This is the theoretical part of the discipleship process. The first 2 module 

ii. The Physical Enhancement program is the experiential part of the discipleship program that bring practicality to the discipleship process.

This physical enhancement program will shape the one doing the work (who) to experience the integration:

The enhancement program are as follows:

​

​​(A) The Mindset  Shift [The Impact player] @ Work We called the people who embraced the integration 'Impact Player'.  These are people who have made the mindset shift to embrace the biblical worldview of faith and work. They began to see their identity in Christ through the integration in shaping their work and faith. We called this shift 'the 2 degree mindset shift' where a small shift in the mindsets, will help us embrace the impact player mindsets- which is discussed as part of the curriculum in the CLC leadership module.

​​​​

Formation of work-business networking group among the young adult (aged 25-45)

2. How do we measure the work engagement at church and at the workplace

The Hypothesis state that when we disciple people on their work life and when engagement happens at work, people will see that the church becomes relevant to their life and this in turn lead to church growth. The correlation between the variables before and after the implementation listed below will be presented and analysis will be reported-

i. Attendance patterns for the last 2 years

ii. Percentage of serving in the last 2 years 

ii. Satisfaction Index (engagement) at work and in the church

 

The datas are ollected through surveys, interviews and questionnaires and will be submitted.

4. ​Limitation and Suggestions of way forward

Theological framework- we are anchoring the notion of a WholeLife Church that we are 'Saved to Serve through Christ present in faith (indwelling) as the cornerstone anchored on vocation and charism'. The concept of indwelling of God-the mystical union, needed further work, for the notion of indwelling can be challenging for many - especially the concept of "theosis"

The anchor of the theological framework on charism and vocation needed more unpacking as Spirit empowerment of work and calling does depends on the overall spirituality of the organizations and this can posed a limitation if this concept are not grounded.

The impact players mindsets that we are proposing needed more unpacking and contextualizing for it is not easy to find a suitable model that is biblical and all encompassing to help embrace the work and faith initiatives as we are trying to switch the culture we are in.  

​

Sample size for data's maybe too small and the question of scalable and transferable to another organization can be skewed.

​

The physical enhancement methods are CLC centric and how robust would this suggestion be taken and implemented  can be a challenges especially it involves resources.
