Indicators (Step 2)
What indicators are
- Signs that show whether impact is present or absent.
- Turn into tools (surveys, interviews, observations) to collect data.
Two levels of indicators
Outer (easier, quantitative):
- Know – what people understand.
- Do – actions/skills they practice.
- Feel – emotions like confidence, hope, or motivation.
Inner (deeper, qualitative):
- Belief – shifts in worldview/convictions.
- Become – new habits and lifestyle integration.
- Love – deep commitments and values.
How to develop them
- Take each impact statement and ask:
- What would they know, do, feel?
- What would they believe, become, love?
Examples (compact)
- Addictions support: Know value of positive relationships → Do attend groups → Feel safe → Believe they’re cared for → Become part of community → Love healthy relationships.
- Financial literacy: Know saving principles → Do budget → Feel confident → Believe biblical view of money → Become self-controlled → Love responsibility.
- Church leaders: Know disciple-making importance → Do meet weekly → Feel convicted → Believe they’re in God’s mission → Become lifestyle disciple-makers → Love being used by God.
Why both matter
- Outer (know/do/feel) = measurable with numbers.
- Inner (believe/become/love) = revealed through stories and reflection.
- Together = a fuller picture of real, lasting impact.
Task
- For each impact statement, list indicators under all six categories.
