The Visioning Process
Spiritual Foundation:
Genesis 12:1-5
1Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
4So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. 5Abram took his wife Sarai and his brother’s son Lot, and all the possessions that they had gathered, and the persons whom they had acquired in Haran; and they set forth to go to the land of Canaan. When they had come to the land of Canaan.

Note: a change, it’s never too late, unfamiliar territory, purpose
[never done that before] [can’t teach old dog, new tricks]
- The Methodist movement started as a revival [something new/a change].
- Churches in OT times were in tents, and they were movable; they had to take up their poles and go [is the church building sacred?]
- Church is a living organism that lives and dies; hopefully giving birth before it dies.
Thr Florence District Connectional Ministries will consist of four main areas of ministry:
Discplineship
Advocacy
Outreach
Lay Leadership
1. Follow God’s will [Jesus’ instruction]
2. Fish deep [seriously]
3. Three times makes the Call significant.
4. Do it because you love God; not because you love sheep.
