How to Form Your SIAFU Network Chapter: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step One Familiarize yourself with all materials and videos connected to the SIAFU Network . Read through the written materials you have seen and received, whether our brochures or write-ups on our SIAFU website. Watch the short videos on SIAFU to find out specific information about this church- based ministry opportunity. Also, make sure that you check our FAQ page (which stands for Frequently Asked Questions ) to read questions and answers that have been asked about SIAFU. Use these materials and videos to discern God’s will and timing for your SIAFU Chapter, when you should start and how you will pursue it in your church or organization.

Step Two Carefully think through the arguments of the SIAFU Network Guidebook, especially the points made and stressed in Parts I and II. Study this Guide- book, making sure you understand what the Network is, and how to begin the process to form your Chapter. (This SIAFU Network Guidebook is our official how-to guidebook for churches and organizations considering establishing their own Chapter in their church.) We designed this resource specifically to guide you through the rationale and process of starting a Chapter in your church. We are absolutely convinced that the Church is the best venue for pastoral care, encouragement, and service. This workbook is informed by that conviction and will give you all you need to start your Chapter. Any
