PDM Blog
Our blog holds all consultant news for PDM Consultants. This blog is a free website space that acts like a journal/diary on the Internet.
Its purpose is
to communicate with ministry members
to communicate relevant ministry information.

This site is interactive meaning that members are invited to post PDM pictures, comments, etc.
To bookmark this (or any site), go to the site and once you’re there, press Control + D.

A PDM Weekend will be held on the 27 & 28 May. The theme is Winter Wonderland. Consultants are invited to post their ideas in the space allocated on the blog.

Team building afternoon
On the 22 April between 2 – 5pm the consultants will have a teambuilding activity in Honeydew at the Amazing Maze. All are invited to join the activity. The cost is only R35 pp. Anything else is for your own account. Please inform your team leader timeously should there be any financial or transport challenges that would influence your attendance.

Office Duty
· Please take note of the condition (neatness) of the office when it is your week for office duty.
· Ps Marcia has placed a list of tasks by the buddy drawers and the consultants on duty need to use this list.
· Madelaine will make a roster that will be located in the PDM office and circulated via email.
· Once all filing and admin is complete, please call the PDM consultants and find out how they are and if there are any needs. Or remind them of upcoming meetings/ teambuilding, etc.
· Specific focus areas when on office-duty are the tidiness of the office in general. This relates to the chairs, table where the buddy drawers are and the meeting table. All these areas are prone to general messiness.

Feedback on Advanced Bible Study (ABS) Mass Assessment
· On the whole, the evening was considered a success even though only Teresa and Francky were available to assist Ps Jackie.
· Approximately 70 people where assessed and of those roughly 51 completed at Request for Assessment (RFA) form to receive feedback.
· These have already been distributed and most consultants have either 3 or 4 people to give feedback to. As the whole of the Motivational Gift section and Personal Style sections were completed, only the Passion section needs to be completed and the feedback will get done in the one-on-one. This should only take about 45 minutes to complete, hence making it possible to do two feedbacks in one evening.
Consultants must give these assessments priority.

Offering
Based on Luke 6:38 we should remember when we are giving an offering to the church, we are actually giving to God and trust Him to bless us accordingly. R80.20 was received.

PDM Announcements:
· A new ministry called Success Principles was launched on Thursday, 30. All interested parties are invited to attend and learn principles for success. Contact Ps Marcia for more details.
· Balazs has formally resigned from the PDM consultants ministry to follow his passion to evangelise.
· Madelaine was nominated as the Consultant of the Month for her diligence and concern for others. She received a floating trophy award. Please remember to send your nominations to Ps Marcia before the end of the month.

A diary has been placed in the PDM office for consultants to book for their assessments. Please remember to use it to avoid disappointment and confusion when you arrive and the office is being used for another event.
