Adding a Discipleship or Training 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 “Discipleship or Training” Activity in GAPP
Select the appropriate Team from the side menu and select the Activities.
Now select the “Create Activity” button at the top of the screen.
From the drop-down list of Core Task categories, select “Discipleship” and in the pop-out menu, select “Discipleship or Training.”
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 “Discipleship or Training Details” section, you can select the particular group or groups who were trained.
If you are chaining from another activity, you can select the "Copy from chained" button to automatically enter the people group, language, and religion information from the previous activity.
For “People Group” you can select one of your defaults or use the other option to select a different people group from the list. By default, this brings up the people groups that GAPP knows are near the location you selected, but if the people group you are looking for is still not in the list, you can select the search box and type the name of the people group you are looking for. And of course, if you don’t know the people group, you can leave it as “Unknown.”
For “Language” 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. And of course, if you don’t know the language, you can leave it as “Unknown.”
For “Religious Background” you can select one of your defaults or use the other option to select a different religion from the list. By default, this brings up the religions that GAPP knows are near the location you selected, but if the religion you are looking for is still not in the list, you can select the search box and type the name of the religion you are looking for. And of course, if you don’t know the religion, you can leave it as “Unknown.”
In the “How many were discipled or trained?” section, enter how many people from this group were discipled or trained. You can type the number directly in the box or use the plus and minus buttons to enter the number.
If there were multiple People Groups, Languages, or Religions, add them using the “Repeat” button.
In the “Languages used for Discipleship or Training” section, you can optionally indicate which languages were used in the training.
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.
If there were multiple languages used, add them using the “Add Item” button.
In the “Discipleship or Training Topics” section, select the topics that were used
In the “Where did this discipleship occur?” section, select the type of location where the activity happened.
In the “Global Segments” section, you can optionally select any social segments that were impacted.
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!
