Digital Day of Outreach (DDO) Coaches Sheet The role of the coach is to guide your team throughout the Digital Day of Outreach and to make sure they are on track. This will include motivating your team to reach their goals, pray together as a team and to facilitate collaboration amongst teammates. Responsibilities: As a team, write down the names of friends you are trusting God to engage with on the

provided sheet. Aim to have 50 names between the group (based on 10 members per group; on average, have 5­8 names per student).

Pray together throughout the afternoon. Start with group prayer and pray as needed. Some team members may need some help thinking how to be active in engaging their friends

in the afternoon. Share some points from ‘How to Share Content for Engagement’ and track their progress and help where needed.

With the sheet of names, track with team members how things are going. If there are stories to share, have members share it at: ____________________________

Remember to celebrate where appropriate ­ the best way is to give thanks to the Lord together.

If you have any questions, please contact: ______________________ Internet information: _______________________ How to Share Content for Engagement Please review this information and allow it to help you guide your team. Pressing ‘share’ is fun but it won’t necessarily lead you into a conversation. Simply asking “What do you think?” is impersonal and not particularly compelling. How can we share content in a thoughtful way that sparks conversation? RULES! 1. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. 2. Share what YOU like, not what everyone else likes. Trust your instincts. 3. Give credit to the author/sharer.

4. *Add value to what you’ve found. *HOW TO ADD VALUE! 1. Select a topic that interests you, a topic you know can lead you to talk about Jesus and you suspect may interest your friend 2. Locate an article, video, music video, photo, piece of content that peaks your interest. It is better if you are familiar with the content already so it may be that you already have shared it recently or read/watched it 3. Watch or read it in FULL. 4. Think about it, pray for insight into the piece. 5. Write out your thoughts. A few sentences to a couple paragraphs. Be authentic in your writing and sharing.

Consider these questions to help you get started:

a) What character did you relate to or identify with? Why? b) How did this piece make you feel? c) What memories did it evoke? d) What questions came to mind that you wanted to ask the creator? e) What is your interpretation of this piece? f) What is main idea that lead you to think about Jesus? g) What did it teach or remind you about Jesus?

6. Select one train of thought and summarize into a sharable nugget, ie. a few sentences. 7. Craft a question that relates to your summary to ask your friend. For example, if the piece caused you to think about how awesome it would be to jump out of plane and feel the exhilaration of free falling, then an appropriate question would be along those lines. “What experience do you wish you could have that would be unbelievably exhilarating?” Don’t ask a question that comes out of nowhere or is unrelated to your own thought process. For example, “What do you think happens when we die?”

8. Put your thoughts, question/s into a post/blog/email with a link to the original content. In addition to your key thought nugget include one or two sentences that summarize the content and remember to credit the author of the piece if not obvious in the shared content. 9. Press SHARE!
