Outreach Mission Control brings initiatives, mission applications, community
partners, team preparation, prayer, verified service time, and reviewed impact
stories together. It builds on existing Outreach Campaigns and Events instead
of creating separate giving or registration systems.
Set Up an Initiative
- Create or open an active Outreach Campaign.
- Open
Outreach Campaigns > Mission Control > Initiatives.
- Choose an outreach event, mission trip, service project, or fundraiser.
- Choose direct signup, a reviewed application, a linked Event registration,
or closed signup.
- Optionally link a community partner, add capacity and deadline, publish a
prayer focus, and deliberately enable organization-level map coordinates.
Mission applications are for adult members and collect only motivation,
experience, availability, and accessibility or support requests. Do not ask
for travel documents, immigration, medical, child-travel, or financial-account
information in this workflow.
Private travel readiness after
applying. This separate consented record encrypts passport, visa, immigration,
medical-clearance, vaccination-readiness, and emergency-contact fields.
Authorized reviewers open it from the application card; access and decisions
are audited. Members may delete it, and a retention job purges its contents 90
days after the trip. Child and youth travel uses linked Events and the existing
guardian, waiver, and protected-session safeguards.
Review and Prepare a Team
The restricted Applications section lets authorized reviewers approve,
waitlist, or decline mission applications. Private support requests do not
appear on public pages or in ordinary campaign administration.
Use Readiness & Updates to add packing items and training steps. A training
step can include instructions, a resource link, and staff verification.
Approved members see only their own readiness in the mobile Outreach Hub.
Updates can be public, limited to the approved team, or limited to members with
a settled gift for that campaign. A pledge or failed checkout does not grant
donor-update access.
Publish Trusted Local Services
Use Partners & Services to maintain organization contact details, opening
hours, accessibility, eligibility, referral instructions, service category,
and optional public map coordinates. Keep unconfirmed information in draft.
Import partner directory previews a CSV with row-level errors before import.
Imports are limited to 500 valid rows, use a stable external ID for repeatable
updates, and are always saved as drafts with public map visibility off.
Preview coordinates from locality returns organization-coordinate
candidates without saving anything. Review the candidate, then explicitly save
and publish the map pin. Plan partner visits orders two to twenty deliberately
published partner pins and can open them in a maps app. It uses straight-line
stop ordering—not live road or traffic optimization—and never uses member or
beneficiary locations.
After checking a published profile, use Save and re-verify. Information that
has not been verified for 90 days is visibly marked so visitors know to contact
the organization before relying on it.
Partner profiles describe organizations. Never store beneficiary addresses,
service usage, referrals, attendance, or case notes in the directory.
Verify Impact
Approved members submit service time in the mobile Outreach Hub. Staff verify
or reject it, and only verified minutes enter public impact totals.
The dashboard may combine verified time, approved participants, prayer
supporters, delivered campaign items, settled giving, and staff-recorded
aggregate measures. Aggregate measures must not contain names or a beneficiary
roster.
Members and public visitors can offer stories with publication consent. Every
story stays pending until restricted staff review it. Remove contact details,
private care information, unapproved names, and identifying details about
children or beneficiaries before approval.
Member and Public Experiences
The mobile Outreach Hub provides Explore, My team, Services, and Impact areas.
Members can join or apply, withdraw, pray, complete readiness, open training
resources, submit service time, and offer a story.
The public /{church}/outreach page shows current initiatives, a searchable
service directory, deliberately published map links, aggregate impact, and
reviewed stories. It does not expose team rosters, donor identity, applications,
private notes, or beneficiary records.
Giving and Dependency-Gated Integrations
Fundraising continues through the existing Outreach Campaign checkout and its
configured Stripe, PayPal, or Flutterwave webhooks. Mission Control does not
create another payment ledger or require another webhook.
Transport manifests, vehicles, rooms, and equipment remain gated on capability
14. Cross-church trips and shared partners remain gated on capability 18. AI
ranking, rewriting, scoring, and recommendations remain gated on capability 17.
