Casting a vision for your team is an essential part of leading and building your team as it states in
Proverbs 29:18
Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.
As I begin to develop our team @durhame I thought it was important to share the vision I had for the ministry and to let my team members help develop the vision along with me.
I prayed about the ministry as God worked in my heart; he began to reveal to me three areas of the ministry that he wanted us to focus on:
At our first tech team meeting I shared the areas of the vision with the attendees and some of the ideas that were weighing on my mind. It was amazing how God placed the exact person to fill the roles. For example, one topic I was thinking about was the PC Workshop that Jim Walton put on and though to myself this was a great idea; countless times I’ve heard from friends, neighbors, colleagues , about the tech challenges they face at home. When I shared this idea with the group immediately Scott (one of our team members) was intrigued and wanted to know more..because that’s where hist heart was at.. what I learned was.. God does provide
Mat:37-38
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Our team is filled with great members, and they are helping to refine God’s vision for this ministry. As their leader I continue to seek out opportunities where their gifts can be fulfilled though the ministry.
What is your team’s vision..? Have your team members been a part of growing the vision?
I encourage you to seek your members input and allow them to help refine the vision for your team.
