I literally cannot believe what a massive organizational upgrade we were given in a short period of time using this platform
The scriptures that come to mind is that:
1) God not a God of disorder and
2) let all things take place … by arrangment
This app has been indispensable as regards reporting of field service time, arranging the cart preaching at different locations, knowing every single assigned brother for every duty at the meeting. Before I was scrambling through papers never finding the right schedule and form and now it is all here. I appreciate the reminders such as when to assign an audit.
We are excited to start using the territory feature as we saw a need to have some digital territory delivery during COVID but doing this by email and scanning each territory was time consuming with poor picture quality.
Another great feature is how various brothers with different assignments can all have limited editing roles for attendants, sound and video, talks and so forth.
We looked into the security features of this app versus other ones and we felt comfortable with how NWS does end to end encryption and doesn’t store unencrypted and sensitive data on a public server.
I literally cannot believe what a massive organizational upgrade we were given in a short period of time using this platform. We had reservations about older ones using it, but they love it. It is intuitive and easy to use and they feel a lot more ‘in the know’ about what is going on in the congregation with it.
Thank you!
