WHAT’S YOUR MISSION

When you look at successful organisations, you’ll find that they have a Mission Statement, a set of Values as well as there Strap Line (an enveloping catch phrase), and more importantly they live (operate) by them.

Take a closer look and you’ll observe that the most successful ones amongst them (these being the top 5%), have a 3 tier Mission Statement:
  1. The Corporate Mission Statement
  2. A Departmental Mission Statement (this being the Corporate Mission Statement tailored to the functions of that Departments), and last,
  3. The Individuals Mission Statement (each member of Staff tailors the Corporate Mission Statement defining how they are going to make a positive contribution to the organisation via their respective positions and roles).


For organisations a Mission Statement gives it, its Strategic Directions, tell it, what to get involved in and what not to get involved in. What’s the point, you ask?


The point is this:

As a Christian, Christ gave us a Great Commission, to go and make Disciples of all nations … [Mathew 28: 19]. How are you going to accomplish this Great Commission?


Let’s face it, to make someone a Disciple:
  • you must first attract them to yourself, your way of life, your way of thinking,
  • secondly, you must win them over to you, before you can gain the influence over them
  • to, thirdly start teaching and building them in the Way of Christ


So, how are you going about doing these 3 things, are you running from pillar to post, like a wondering generality or do you have a Strategic Direction as to how you will make your own contribution to the organisation (The Kingdom of Heaven & The Kingdom of God).

What’s your Mission Statement for advancing the Kingdom?



This is mine:
