When- The plan

Timing is everything: Even with the right message, audience, and channels, communication without a plan loses impact; well-timed messages engage, while poorly timed ones overwhelm or go unnoticed.
Intentional planning: Like Jesus in John 2:4, ministry unfolds step by step. Communication should be deliberate, connecting to your larger mission and avoiding scattered or rushed messaging.
Set clear goals: Communication goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART), directly supporting your ministry’s mission, e.g., growing email lists, social followers, or website engagement.
Audit and prioritize: Reflect on what currently works versus what drains resources. Every “yes” to something unhelpful is a “no” to what truly matters.
Execute consistently: Break goals into actionable steps on a calendar—emails, social posts, website updates—and follow through consistently. Right message + audience + channel + timing = effective campaigns.
