Micah-thon 2021 Solution Ideas and Integral Mission Solutioning Toolkit
​
Micah Singapore conducted a Micah-thon in 2021. Teams came together to ideate solutions to missional challenges presented by challenge owners. Participants were equipped with an integral mission solutioning toolkit.
​
We present below the toolkit and the solution ideas generated from the Micah-thon.
​
Integral Mission Solutioning Toolkit
​
-
Identify: tentatively identify the issue and identify yourself with the issue.
-
Investigate: data collection to understand the nature of issues, resources available, relationships, stakeholders, partners, external and internal factors that impact the community.
-
Interpret: take a step back and make sense of the data, turn to theoretical and theological resources to understand deeper.
-
Ideate: come up with all possible ideas and then sieve and refine ideas based on various integral mission considerations.
-
Integrate: plan and strategise after pulling together all the considerations.
-
Implement.
-
Iterate: review, repeat and refine.
