Turning Your Vision Into Action
It is hard work to turn your vision into action, but it’s not impossible. It
will go better if the action plans you lay out are pursued with gusto. Your
church’s vision simply won’t come to life without the blessing that only God can
ultimately give according to His will. It won’t come about if the faithful few
end up carrying the ball. Visions come to life as committed people build a
bridge together—to serve the Lord. Some of that work will include prayer. Some
of it will mean taking risks. It will require your church to sort the treasures
from the baggage and even the garbage that has built up in your church. Some of
the work will require that you stay the course. Whatever the work,
bridge-building will connect what you want your church to become and what it
will be.
