Our BCBP Kalibo community is a dynamic entity, a collective force striving towards a shared vision. To better illustrate this journey, let’s picture our community as a bus, packed with passengers, all united in their desire to reach a common destination: a thriving, successful community where our projects flourish and positively impact lives.

This metaphor helps us understand the inter-connectedness of our efforts and the importance of collective responsibility.

The Bus: Our Community and its Vision

The bus represents our community as a whole, our shared aspirations, and the framework within which we operate. It embodies our collective spirit and our commitment to achieving our goals.

The Destination: Successful Projects and Positive Impact

Our destination symbolizes the successful completion of our projects and the tangible, positive impact we aim to create. It represents the realization of our vision and the fulfillment of our community’s purpose.

The Fare: Our Individual Tithe Contributions

Just as passengers pay a fare to sustain the bus’s journey, our Tithe contributions are the “fares” that fuel our community’s progress. These contributions are not merely monetary; they represent our investment in our shared vision and our commitment to its realization.

The Fuel: Pooled Resources and Collective Action

The “fuel” represents the pooled resources generated by our Tithe contributions. This fuel enables us to execute our plans, purchase necessary materials, and bring our initiatives to life. Without sufficient fuel, our bus will sputter and stall, hindering our progress and leaving our goals unfulfilled.

The Driver: Leadership and Organizational Structure

The driver represents the leadership and organizational structure that guide our community’s actions. They ensure that our resources are used effectively, our efforts are coordinated, and our bus stays on course towards our destination.

The Vital Role of Community Projects

Our community projects are essential for our collective well-being. They address specific needs, promote growth, and foster a sense of unity and purpose. However, these projects require sustained and united effort, and that’s where the importance of Tithe contributions comes into play.

Every Contribution Matters

Every contribution, regardless of size, plays a crucial role in ensuring we have enough “fuel” to reach our destination. It’s a collective effort, a shared responsibility, and a testament to our commitment to our community.

The Action Group Leaders’ Crucial Role

As Action Group Leaders (AGLs), you are pivotal in communicating this message to your members. Your leadership is essential in fostering a culture of collective responsibility and understanding the direct impact of their contributions on our shared success.

Key Messages for AGLs to Emphasize:

• Shared Destination: Remind members that we are all heading towards a common goal, a thriving community where our projects make a real difference.
• Collective Responsibility: Emphasize that our success depends on the collective effort of every member.
• Tithe as Fuel: Explain that Tithe contributions are the essential fuel that powers our community’s progress.
• Direct Impact: Illustrate how their contributions directly support our projects and contribute to our shared success.
• Every Contribution Counts: Reinforce that every contribution, regardless of size, is valuable and essential.
• Unity and Collaboration: Encourage a spirit of unity and collaboration, emphasizing that we are all in this together.

Moving Forward Together

Let us all embrace our role as passengers on this journey, contributing our “fares” to ensure our bus is fully fueled and that we reach our destination together. By working collaboratively and understanding the importance of our collective Tithe contributions, we can ensure the successful realization of our community’s vision and create a lasting positive impact.

Thank you, AGLs, for your dedication and leadership. Your efforts are vital in ensuring our community’s success. Let’s work together to keep our bus moving forward!
