Having a vision for ministry is one the best things about ministry and also one of the scariest. Sometimes you have such a longing for something special but when you try to put into reality it seems like a daunting task that will never get done. I myself have a huge idea for ministry but when as I sit down and really think about it, the reality of how much money, how many different people it will take to accomplish it seems like its way to much. Andy Stanley’s outline that he provides in this book gives the groundwork for a big vision to come into reality. It seems that the biggest difficulty that may arise is timing. When is the right time to pitch your vision to people, when is the right time to initiate a plan of action, when do you stop developing properties so that you don’t run out of resources. Timing seems to be the key. We must realize as Christians that our vision must be born from God’s leading and its going to get done on His timing.
