Adding a Language Study Activity
An Activity in GAPP is a record of your faithfulness to the Great Commission and the fruit of your labor. By adding Activities in GAPP, you are better able to increase your vision of God's work, inform your prayers about God’s work, improve your preparation for God’s work, and invite others to participate in God’s work.
Because Templates are customizable by your Workspace owners, administrators, and creators, your version of this template may look slightly different. Questions may be phrased differently, be in a different order, or there may even be questions that do not appear in this article and video.
To record a “Language Study” Activity in GAPP
Select the appropriate Team from the side menu and select Activities.
Now select the “Create Activity” button at the top of the screen.
From the drop-down list of Core Task categories, select “Entry” and in the pop-out menu, select “Language Study.”
In the “Contributors” section, select the “Add Member” symbol and the “Search” box to include anyone else from the team who was with you. Select the "Add Members" button.
To prevent double counting of an activity, only one person should enter an activity and be sure to add all the other people who were involved as contributors.
In the “Location” section, select the “Default,” or “Current” button to use one of those pre-set locations.
If neither of those is the correct location where the activity happened, select the Location selector to search for a different location. You can search for the location in the search box or move and zoom on the map to select the correct location. When you have the right location, select “Continue.”
In the “When” section, enter the date, date range, or time range over which the activity occurred.
In the “Methods of Language Study” section, select all that apply to the activity.
In the “Which language did you learn?” section, you can select one of your defaults or use the other option to select a different language from the list. By default, this brings up the languages that GAPP knows are near the location you selected, but if the language you are looking for is still not in the list, you can select the search box and type the name of the language you are looking for.
In the “Comments” box, explain the activity in more detail and select Submit.
You will then return to your Team Dashboard with an “Activity Created Successfully” notification at the bottom of the screen.
If you make a mistake, you can always select the edit button for the activity, make the necessary changes, and select save.
That’s it! You have recorded another work of the Lord among all peoples and places. Praise God for the work He is doing!
