Inital Project Plan
In the beginning of my research, I was a bit anxious because I had never done any research in my entire life. The perception I had about a research was always uninteresting. At first, I thought a research was going to be tiresome and requiring a lot of thoughts and energy. Nevertheless, I have to conduct a research, because it is part of the assessment of the Ministry and Mission subject in my college. Therefore, it leaves me no choice if I want to pass the subject. Despite of this daunting experience, I hope this research will give me a new experience and a new perception about the research itself.
I had several topics that I wanted to explore and most of them are dealing with practical stuff, which can be applied, in a church context. In the process, I asked several different people who are close to me about what would be the most valuable and beneficial topic for my current church. The outcome of asking questions helped me to think through many different aspects. In the end, the topic that I chose is about music in a church, particularly on how music has been affecting young people’s reaction toward the church.
