What will a typical Sender group look like?

You’ll meet once a month on zoom. Ian and Sue Paxton will be joining you to get the zoom started. They will share with you all more personal updates about the month in order to provide you the necessary info to speak into her life, pray over her and support her on a deeper level. 

The Schedule will look similar to this:

1:00 pmCT Sender Group joins together on Zoom  Devotions 

1:10CT Ian and Sue welcomes their Senders and gives an update on her month. Senders should actively respond to the Paxton’s by asking questions, giving words of encouragement, scripture or anything else they feel will support them. The Paxtons may stay for prayer time or she may have to leave, each week could be a bit different! 

1:30CT Prayer

1:35CT Action Step

1:45CT Close 

Consider your Sender Group Role

The following roles are open for The Paxton’s Sender Group. Please look over them and choose one that you feel best suits your gifting. 

Friendly Reminder Lead

This person is responsible to send The Paxton Sender Group reminder text, and links for each meeting once per month. 

Devotions Lead

This person will be responsible to bring a devotion to the group each month. They will be the one responsible to get the group focused and started. The devotion should be around 5-8 minutes long with discussion time allowed after. 

Prayer Lead

This person will be responsible to lead in prayer after The Paxton’s share. They will help the group focus together to agree in prayer. They do not have to be the only one praying, but they are responsible to start and finish the prayer time. A good amount of time to set aside to pray together is 10 min. 

Action Step Lead

This person is responsible to lead in helping the Senders create an action step for the month that they feel will help to support the Paxtons . They do not need to be the one always coming up with the idea, but they are responsible to lead the Senders in this and help to promote implementation. Examples of action steps: Committing to pray for the specific need Ian or Sue expressed for five minutes a day, pulling together to raise support or awareness of a specific need the Paxtons expressed. 

Action Step Participant

This person is responsible to follow the Action Step Lead by engaging in conversation related to investigating how the Sender group can help to support / pray for / plan a tangible method of supporting The Paxton's with their expressed need, struggle and or prayer request.

Closing Lead

This person is responsible to close the group and remind everyone of the upcoming Sender Group time and date!
