Care
Follow-Up

Same-day WhatsApp, 48–72 hour personal contact, prayer needs, outcomes, and a clear next action.

Discipleship

Clarity Class, foundation lessons, weekly environments, relationships, and practical next steps into growth.

Multiply
Champion

People become connected, serve, find responsibility, and are equipped to reach and develop somebody else.

First-timer capture

Know them personally before the next step.

The first record starts with consent and keeps each person moving from prospect to invited, confirmed, visited, connected, serving, and multiplying.

Role-aware access

Leaders see pastoral and sensitive notes. Volunteers see only the follow-up details needed for their assignment.
