Vision Casting 2021

Proverbs 29:18 KJV 1900

Introduction

Refer to the Discipleship class message

Mission of the Wisconsin District, and indeed the whole UPCI

We as a church, are going to do everything we can to help move the District and National Vision forward

We need to do three things:

We need to determine where we’re headed

We need to determine where we’re at

Then we can determine exactly how to get from where we’re at to where we’re going

Body

Long Term Plan

Strong Mother Church

Spiritually

Numerically

Financially

We want great, supernatural faith

Faith to see miracles, Signs and Wonders

Faith to see revival in our city

Faith in God to lead us where He wants us to be, even through the tough times

Train Ministry teams

Plant churches all throughout Lacrosse County and beyond

Short Term Plan

Spiritually

Get a spiritual “feel” for our city and our county

Mid Term Plan

Get the body fitly framed together

Organizational changes

Fit the right minister with the proper ministries

Look at ‘Launch’ program (NAM Ministries)

We’ll train a complete team to go out and plant a church in a new area

We’ll send families with that team to support the new church plant

We’ll grow these new churches into strong mother churches

Wash, rinse, repeat...

Conclusion

Remember: Our path to our destination may change as we move forward, but our destination will remain the same!

Patience in seeing God’s plan come to fruition

Hebrews 10:36 KJV 1900

36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

God’s plan for our church is so much greater than we can even imagine, but He has given us a glimpse of what He has in store.

1 Corinthians 2:9–10 KJV 1900

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
