Aahh... Saturday nights! I try to spend a low key evening on Saturday nights with my family as a prelude to Sunday morning. Tonight I'm watching Cake Boss and I'm really liking the idea of "Vision Casting" just watching Buddy's show about creating specialty cakes from scratch - no manual, no paperwork that tells him how to do it; He has to see the finished product in his mind, tell his team what he's seeing, communicate as clearly as possible and build a custom cake from the ground up to suit his client's order. Click here to see his site and order you a cake!
And so - The Ohio District office just came out with a new vision statement that I really like called "Custom Build." So many times we have to custom build ministry from the ground up and there's no field manual for the step by step plan. There are some good books out there for inspiration, but no play by play cookie cutter plan that's sure to work in your neck of the woods. Maybe it's a new ministry branch or a whole new Sunday AM approach... Go after it with prayer, total inclusion of all top leaders, and be totally transparent with people so they can:
1. feel your heart beat,
2. be confident that you're hearing from God, and
3. have their best interest in mind.
Gotta run - Cake Boss back on!
