Working for Mosaic
July 2nd, 2008 Posted in Life
As of this month, I am now employed one day per week by Mosaic. This is another exciting step for me in the midst of a whole host of exciting changes.
Today I thought I’d share some of the things I’m going to be focussing on as I embark on this new phase. So, here pretty much is my job description:
- Identify and train team leaders for the various teams Mosaic is looking to establish.
- Create training resources to aid the development of team leaders and team members.
- Develop resources and materials for the Underground (the Christ-following community that is part of Mosaic).
- Identify and connect with other people and groups around the UK, Europe, and the rest of the world who are looking to move in a similar direction to Mosaic. Provide support, training, and leadership where appropriate.
- Establish more tangible goals and plans for supporting the work of other organisations (e.g. Oasis in South Africa, Open Kingdom in Cameroon, Help Unlimited in Uganda), and catalyse more people to serve with them and establish a fundraising base to support this work.
- Oversee the establishment of a registered charity and provide leadership and oversight to all itʼs functions.
I’m excited to have this dedicated time to serving within and through Mosaic. Looking forward to the progress that comes as a result too!

Hi sam, the point you make about overseas is interesting, but just as you think about you business plan for human potential think the same about the work overseas, what i tend to mean is what is your USP (unique selling point) whats different about what you do compared to those organisations like Tear fund, oxfam, etc and I would implore you to think not what you can do for them but what can they do for you through your engagement with them, I’ll explore that a bit more with you in Buxton if not before.

This is one of the reasons I hope you get to Sheffield!!
I agree about the need to be clear about what we uniquely bring to the table. On the overseas side, we want to embed this locally too. Ties in the our vision from giving voice to artists and issues of social justice through VOX Sheffield.
Chat more soon!
