It is therefore not intended to be presented from beginning to end unless you find yourself in a very unique situation where doing so would be most beneficial for your specific audience. When forming a unique presentation based on these slides, please consider such time-related factors as… - your unique audience and their specific needs - the level of influence you have with the specific group - the time available (allowing time for questions - about one slide for every 5 minutes available) - the distractions within the presentation environment For your preparation, you will find The 3 Colors of Community book page references in the notes section on each slide. Also, as part of your presentation, be prepared with your own personal stories from using The 3 Colors of Community. Thanks for your important ministry. Blessings NCD International
