What a great task to undertake Commissioner, please be assured of our prayers as you and Commissioner Carolyn listen to the Lord and he reveals his plans to you.
All efforts at visioning must be encouraged. However, at the very onset the question must be asked, “How will this visioning effort be different than those of the past?”
Over the years, I have participated in several visioning efforts. I cannot recall any of them making a substantial difference.
When we undertake to discover what our vision for the future is we must ultimately construct an outcomes goal and measurment mechanism. It is not enough to use visioning as a ‘rally the troops’ device. It must be more substanative than that.
I will add this effort to my prayer list. Lord knows we need a clear vision if we are to march forward.
Just Imagine if we closed down every program and gave all of our attention to the soul purpose of soul saving until every corps in the Territory had at least one soul saved !!!
Right on Andrew, but think of the spark that would be ignited in the Territory with 500-700 souls saved!!! Saving Souls is refreshing, it renews the heart like nothing else and stirs up a passion for more. The momentum would lead to an amazing revival!!!
the NZFT territory has this same one but added OF Jesus. I think that this needs to be made known more than just disciples. After all Anton Levey had/has disciples and, they are doing their best to work against the Church as a whole body of beleivers
"You, Lord, hear the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry..." (Ps 10:18) We are healed by His attention. [jimknaggs]
