I shared these thoughts with some of our team this  afternoon.  People are usually good at one or the other.  But what does it take to capture the vision of what you’re trying to accomplish AND execute that vision?  Here’s part 1:

Vision

Vision is seeing the big picture.

Vision can take the form of:

     *A statement – FC’s vision statement is to “lead people into a 
       growing relationship with Jesus Christ.”

     *A goal – “We want to see people _____________ people in 
       attendance for our Easter service.”

     *A drive – “I will do whatever it takes to make this succeed.” 

Another definition – Vision is seeing something that you want to see happen even when it hasn’t happened yet.  (this resembles faith, doesn’t it?)

     -If you don’t have a vision or a passion for your 
     ministry/work/innovation, get one, get out, or be looking forward
     to having someone else lead the way.
