Facilitator Quick Start
A thirty-minute structural audit: name the pressure, score the four Lanes, find the Gate most likely cracking, name who is compensating, install one reinforcement, and define the relief signal to watch for.

DIAL Community Edition
Facilitator resources & downloads
Free, printable companion tools that turn a DIAL Community reading into a conversation a team can act on. Grounded in the book; built for the room.
Before you print: DIAL Community Edition is a structured self-assessment, not a validated or diagnostic instrument. These tools give a directional reading and begin a shared conversation — read a result as a map, not a judgment. Use them to distribute weight and relieve whoever is carrying too much, not to rank or name a culprit.
Appendix Pack — Volume 1
Facilitator & Repair Core. One complete pack, or download only the tool you need. You are not meant to complete all twenty-two worksheets — choose the ones that match where pressure is actually concentrating.

DIAL Community Appendix Pack — Vol. 1
All four tools in one document: the Facilitator Quick Start, the Team Discussion Guide, the 30-Day Repair Plan, and the full set of 22 Gate Repair Worksheets across the four Lanes.
Individual tools
Each download opens with the same short orientation and the note above, so it stands on its own when you hand it to a team.
Team Discussion Guide
For a team talking through a completed reading together. Ground rules, reading Formation and Structure separately, naming the gap and the pattern, locating the load, and closing on a sequence — diagnosis, not judgment.
Download30-Day Repair Plan
A staged plan for moving the first load: stop the bleeding in the first week, install stability through day thirty, and test durability by day ninety — one reinforcement at a time.
Download22 Gate Repair Worksheets
One worksheet per Structural Gate across Truth, Power, People, and Standards. Each names what the Gate protects, the signs it is cracking, four repair questions, and a space to commit to a reinforcement.
DownloadFinancial Load & Stewardship tools
The household financial-structure instrument in two editions — a secular Financial Load Audit and a faith-based Stewardship Cohort — sharing the same eight Loads and the same questions.
Financial Load Audit (secular)
The faith-neutral edition — eight Financial Loads, six statements each, scored on your device. Well Distributed, Under Stress, or Overloaded, with a recommended first build for the place to strengthen first.
Take the auditStewardship Load Audit (faith)
Eight Stewardship Loads — Knowledge through Generosity — six short statements each, scored on your device. You’ll see your strongest Load, your most stressed Load, any acute risk flags, and the first place to build next.
Take the audit12-Week Stewardship Pilot Overview
The design logic elders will ask about: the discipleship premise, the frame-first opening, the commit-by-Week-4 build rhythm, the Week-12 re-audit, the weekly cohort-and-pairs cadence, and the guardrails that keep facilitators teaching rather than advising.
DownloadWhat this is — and is not. The Stewardship Load Audit is a structured self-assessment and a discipleship tool — not financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and not a diagnosis. Facilitators teach the framework and walk alongside; they never advise on anyone’s specific financial decisions.
How to use these
Start with the Quick Start. It follows the book’s own sequence: locate the Lane under the most strain, identify the Gate most likely cracking, name who is compensating without blame, install one small reinforcement, and watch for relief. Then open only the Gate worksheets that match where the pressure actually is. It is not a plan to fix everything at once — it is a way to move the first load.
Adapt the role language to your setting. Where a worksheet says “leaders,” “team,” or “the carrier,” read the words that fit — board, staff, and volunteers; elders, pastors, and ministry leaders; or a lodge’s officers and committees.
Want a guided debrief? These tools are free to download and use. If your team would rather walk through a reading with a facilitator, Global Mission Support sponsors donor-funded cohorts — a team-level assessment, a facilitated conversation, and a ninety-day repair focus, commissioned by your own leadership. Request a sponsored cohort or support the Leadership Access Fund so cost is never the barrier.
Multilingual volunteers: help DIAL Community read naturally in your language. Our Translation Review Portal lets you review one language against the English source and send your corrections to the coordinator.
More volumes are on the way — consent & data-handling tools, and additional facilitator aids — and will appear here as they are released.
