Q1: What does "Plant" mean in the context of file sharing on Ministry-Vineyard?

A: “Plant” represents the preparation phase before uploading your files to Ministry-Vineyard. Just like planting a seed, you prepare your contribution so it can grow and bless others.

This includes:

- Organizing files on your device into folders if needed.

- Naming files clearly so others can easily understand their content.

- Ensuring readiness by making sure the files are final and appropriate for ministry sharing.

Q2: How should I organize my files before uploading?

A: We recommend organizing your files locally on your device before you upload them:

- Create folders for projects or topics (e.g., “Sermons,” “Choir Songs,” “Community Outreach”).

- Use descriptive names (e.g., “Youth_Choir_Song1.mp3” instead of “file1.mp3”).

- If you have multiple files, place them in a single folder, then zip or compress the folder before uploading. This makes the process easier and keeps your files grouped together.

- Double-check that your files are appropriate, clear, and ready for sharing.

Q3: Will there be guidance for uploading files?

A: Yes! Ministry-Vineyard provides a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) guide to help you with the process. The SOP includes step-by-step instructions for uploading files
