You can see it in your mind s eye. You can behold the kinds of people that God is calling us to become. You can imagine ways that people will behave and relate differently tomorrow living in more Christ-like ways because of what you are doing today. A vision functions much like a telescope. It brings the distant horizon the destination into clear view.
Values drive the ministry.
They are the reason behind each decision made, each problem solved, each goal set. Far too many ministries are not aware of the importance of articulating a clear vision that provides a focused direction. . . . Finally, a vision focuses on the future. . . . A ministry develops and casts communicates its vision for the future. It is a mental picture of what tomorrow will look like.
