Strategy No nation in world history is as favorably positioned for discipling as the United States is today. Vision is the definition of a long-term goal. The grand vision of God is that His kingdom come and His will be done on the earth.
Mission is the central work required to accomplish the goal of vision.
The central purpose in the life of a Christian is to be an obedient disciple and to make disciples of others by teaching them to obey everything Jesus has commanded. Strategy is an organized plan to accomplish the work of mission to achieve the goal of vision. It has been observed that vision without a central work is fantasy, and that work without vision becomes drudgery. However, vision with a central work will change the world. Formulating strategy depends largely on having an understanding of the facts.
