All churches have a vision, but not all visions are created equally. Most churches actually don't have much clarity at all when it comes to vision. While they aim in the right general direction of preaching the Gospel, they have not discerned God's specifi c vision and direction for reaching people with the Gospel. When churches catch a clear vision that is unique to their situation and context, it pulls back the veil that keeps churches trapped in mediocrity. It brings focus, energy, and unity. It gives leaders a clear path for guiding God's people into the future. And it identifi es vivid ways that they can touch others who need to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
