“But we will give ourselves continually to prayers, and to the ministry of the word” (Acts 6:4 KJV) One fundamental and known duty of true Church is to continually prays and studies Bible including in preaching and fulfilling Biblical mandate –holistic ministry. The Church and Community Mobilisation Process (CCMP) is a tool/program that Tearfund Organization uses with its Partners to solve poverty patterns in their communities by envisioning them through meeting facilitations. CRR completes CCMP after finishing ‘Church Awakening’ stage. “Church awakening involves motivating the church to understand its role and relationship with the immediate community, starting with Bible study in small groups. This understanding stirs the church to begin engaging its immediate community,  stirring the community to take action to deal with its poverty, and influencing the life of the community, thus truly becoming ‘salt and light’ in the community.” CCMP enables people to describe their reality and transform it themselves by designing their own strategies to address their own issues. The process is led by specially trained facilitators who encourage participation from everyone. The first of the five stages is envisioning the local church. At the start of the process, the church must understand its identity, purpose and role in the immediate community, learning about and applying its biblical mandate and thus truly becoming ‘salt and light’ in the community. CCMP is based on the word of God. CCMP draws from biblical roots. Every part of the process comes from Bible study. After the envisioning stage comes the church and community’s description of ‘where things are at’, followed by information-gathering, analysis, decision and action. The process takes months and should lead to repeated cycles of reflection and action. CCMP is about changing people’s attitudes; it’s about changing people’s minds. Changing the way the church has done things for all its life in that community.
