Today we are talking about Why you need a vision. I’m going to give you 9 signs you need a vision and 9 benefits of having a plan. 

 

Why your Ministry needs a Vision

If you have a plan without a vision, you are just doing busy work. If you have a vision without a plan, you just have a fantasy. ~Joseph Lalonde

 

"Failing to plan is planning to fail".

While this isn’t the case for every ministry, it does happen more often than we would like to admit.

  9. No visitors are walking through the doors
