Vision is a picture held in your mind's eye of the way things could or should be in the days ahead. This veiw of the future uniquely belongs to us. Vision for ministry is a reflection of what God wants to accomplish through us to build His kingdom. It is a realistic perspective. It is not dreaming the impossible dream, but dreaming the most possible dream.
Vision entails a great depth of understanding, a detailed knowledge of facts and potential.
Vision is deeply rooted in reality, and it stretches our abilities. Men who seek to fulfill God's vision for their ministry are a treasure to the church. They have captured an image of the future, and have charted a course of action to reach that goal. Because they know where they and the church are headed, they are able to convert the vision into a tangible strategy for implementation. Gone is the drudgery of following old models, tradition, and meaningless routine.
