Welcome!Vision − Vision statement

Vision statement

My vision is to see an effective Church, one that

  • puts Christ first
  • focuses on its purpose
  • makes wise choices
  • does things well.

This is a four-part definition of what it means to be an effective church on a global and a local scale.
 
 

This means I pray for

  • A proper recognition of God’s organisational gifts at national and local church levels, in mission agencies and in Christian education.
  • The deployment of gifted, passionate and creative organisers to release leaders and support the Church’s ministry. 

This is my big-picture dream for the future.
  
  

Prayer for each assignment

In each assignment, event or contact the vision works out as a prayer that those involved:

  • will have a new sense of what it means to be a disciple of Christ, with a renewed enthusiasm for following him and growing in their faith
  • will become significantly more effective in practical service, whether they are leaders or followers, staff or volunteers, solo workers or team members.
