EDIFICATION NOT ENTERTAINTMENT

for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, (Eph 4:12)

ensure that there is a replacement / backup (be accountable) 4. Check all equipment under your care and also the interconnections

to other equipments e.g. videocamera to mixer; PCs to projectors; mixers to PC/Projector
