Vision RenewalTM
The Vision RenewalTM Resource Packet is available from Outreach Canada and guides the church through the four stages of Vision RenewalTM:
Assess the Church Situation
Build the Profiles
Cast the Vision
Develop the Action Plan
Vision RenewalTM is a discovery process for churches to follow when they are not crystal clear on what God wants them to do and how he wants them to proceed.
Few churches have a clear ministry vision. Consequently they lack focus and enthusiasm in their ministries. In an effort to remedy their situation they often try to create a vision rather than discovering the one that God has for them. Vision RenewalTM offers a way for churches to listen to God collectively and discover His agenda and the future He has for them. The result is a focused church with a realistic vision that makes a Kingdom impact.
Vision RenewalTM leads the church step by step to a discovery of God's vision for them by:
Calling them to face the truth about themselves and their community.- Calling them to pray for God's direction and leading.
- Providing a congregational forum for the entire church to participate in recognizing Gods leading.
- Coaching them in developing practical ways to accomplish the goals God has given.
- Translating their plan into ministry.
