In order to communicate effectively we believe in SYSTEMS: (Save Yourself Some Time Energy & Money Systematically):

We have systems in place so we can communicate as effectively as we can. A lot depends upon where we are, what time of the day it is, whom we are communicating with, the urgency of the message and the message we are communicating. We are doing life disguised as grey nomads so there’s that aspect of … “Time for a nap then a coffee and snack … then check our systems of communication. If our project managers are doing what they are paid to do things will run smoothy. We pray!!!!”

Where we are. If we are in Balga then all systems are relevant to operating from our home and office. If we are on a big lap trips that will depend upon whether you are family, friends, the farm operations, ministry connections that we work closely with or via a team effort, business alliances-connections; that we work closely with or via our team of virtual assistants.

We have our mobile phones, (direct calls or sms) then we have various What’s App Groups we belong to and let’s not forget there’s Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, YouTube, our relevant websites, our virtual team, emails, Zoom and Kradle Connect.

When on our big lap trips we will have to work things out as we go along. It’s going to be a huge learning curve for us both and that’s just the traveling with a rig setup. Obviously there is the figuring out and getting to know our rig and setup with all of the advanced technological gadgets and gismos we have. But that’s what the big lap trips adventures are all about.

In a perfect world life would be incredible. Here’s some of our ways we have thought about to make sure we keep in contact with those in our lives and the new ones that are entrusted into our care.

1. There’s our prayer, praise and worship lifestyle. Everything we do is centered around working hard at the personal connections the Lord Jesus has blessed us with.

2. We want to make sure we are on the same page across our multiple platforms.

3. AI (Artificial Intelligence) is not the future. It is now and we aim to leverage the power of artificial intelligence.

4. Keeping the main thing the main thing is how we prioritise sustainability in messaging.

5. Some say it pays to cultivate emotional intelligence in messaging. We gonna try that.

6. We’re hoping to invest in interactive content, as soon as we figure out what that is.

7. Another thing we are figuring out is the way to harness the power of user-generated content, whatever that is. (Lol)

8. Community is all about fostering community engagement. That sounds like a plan.

9. Someone always comes up with some you beaut platform so we will experiment with niche platforms.

10. While listening is ministry someone said that dynamic social listening will help us better serve others moving forward.
