REAL: Please, Keep it up the good work!

REAL: Please, keep it up the good work! 

REAL is a Whatsapp group and a blog for a community of history makers and world changers. 

REAL is an acronym for Relationships, Empowering, Advancement, and Leadership. 

We need to be real with each other so that we all grow in our relationships (all relationships), we empower each other (we are committed to the success of others), we advance the Kingdom (who we are together), and we become the leaders God wants us to be.

THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS GROUP.

There are some people in REAL that are already mentoring others. You will become a mentor for others. 

There are on the group business people, scientists, professors, engineers, students and many others from many areas of expertise from many nations. Please, understand your participation as you were seated around a round table in a room. 

And one thing very important: This is not about religion! This is not about religion! This is not about religion! 

We share only things pertaining to the objectives of the group. Anything that is meant for personal promotion, money driven, religious talking and events, pictures and other people messages and ideas are not encouraged. 

We want to read and discuss YOUR IDEAS and THOUGHTS. 

Only  facilitators can publish writings from other authors. Usually they choose to publish from people they know personally, things that can add value to you.

I myself want to have a serious and profitable conversation around themes that can change me, can change you  and transform the communities that we are involved with.

So, I want to explain you something. I know each of us want to share pictures of our dogs and cats, share the marvelous things we do, copy messages from other people, anything we want to, etc., BUT we have to understand there are people so busy, they don't have the time to read or see things that are not related to the purpose of this group. 

I, myself, are very interested in reading only what you write, your things and YOUR ideas that YOU want to share. Don't be afraid to share them. Even so, get ready to be challenged. Don't be offended if someone contest your writings. That is fine. We don't look for approval here. We just want to grow and be transformed. Act as a grown person, a mature fellow that is not afraid to be challenged! Believe me, it will work for good!

And please, ask questions that are relevant for you and your community. 

Sometimes we will be silent if you do not  ask questions. Be courageous to ask the unthinkable! We will not be shy to respond! You must not be shy ask.

Let us be open minded and focused to the purpose of REAL. We will not distract from our objectives! 

REAL is a group for ideas, high thinking and innovation. 

It is about the teachings of the Kingdom. It is about the new things God is doing. It is about new wineskins. It is about change, but not any change. It is about God's change.

So, please, let us focus on what we have as purpose. If you think this is not a group that can add value to your life, you don't need to stay. However, please, don't get offended with what I am sharing. There are many people that are being challenged by the thoughts we have shared and they are growing in many spheres of their lives. I hope you stay and be transformed!

We will not publish things that are unrelated. We will not loose interest for the REAL things.

For the King's glory and for your joy,

REAL (2): Simple guidelines for REAL

SIMPLE GUIDELINES FOR REAL

1- REAL is a group for Kingdom people who want to be a blessing to others. 

REAL is for people with a kingdom mindset. What is a kingdom mindset set? To think like Jesus Himself think. 

We want to build relationships across cultural boundaries; empower others to a better life for their families, communities and nations; advance the Kingdom to transform society, fight poverty and build up people to leadership roles everywhere.

2-REAL group is about Relationships, Empowering, Advancement and Leadership. 

We want to change nations by changing ourselves and people around us. This expression "around us" is seen in a global perspective. Someone around us may be located 10.000 miles away geographically, but not distant in presence. They are only far two fingers away from our phones, laptops or tablets. It is just a matter of starting a chat pressing a bottom!

3 - We share here only things pertaining the objectives of the group. Anything that is meant for personal promotion, money driven and religious events are not encouraged. 

That is it! Just three simple guidelines.

Now just few recommendations, please.

Please, do not post any matter that you are not the author. Do not forward anything to the group. Please, comment every post you read, about every audio you hear and every video you watch. Ask questions. Interact! All comments and questions are welcome and highly encouraged. 

Please, do not post any COMMENT with more than 300 words and let us be patient to wait for others that may want to reply. When you comment tag subject replying by clicking on it. 

Any comment is welcome. If we think anything is  "bizarre" it will NOT be treated as such. All ideas are welcome and what you may say will not be consider either correct or wrong. It is not a matter of being even politically correct. We are open to read any ideas or thoughts.

You also may comment the posts in the REAL blog. All teachings are published in the blog, but not all comments. Publish your comments in the blog, please.

Understand that sometimes you will be writing in USA and someone will only read your words 10 hours later like Apollos Sam from India. You will be writing during the day and someone will be sleeping.

I also recommend you "mute" the Whatsapp chat in your phone. People in the group are from many different time zones. You may be sleeping when somebody is sending a message. 

Welcome to the REAL journey!

Always believing it is possible.
