Practical Recommendations
- Establish an Action Oriented Approach: Show
your commitment to actively serve the needs
- ur people face without delay as part of your
mission, not based on your ability to execute large activities:
– Coptic has always been active in addressing community issues. We commit our efforts and resources to make a change, even if it starts small
His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!” Matthew 25:23
