Without the heart, everything will just be a waste. The work works when the heart is in the right place. Whatever structure and papers to fill in, if the heart is not there, it’s a “cul du sac”, dead end.
No amount of SWOT analysis and reports can increase the mission of God if the heart is somewhere else.
Where is our heart?
The pastoral aspect should be given priority always, that is what is lacking. The mission is not a corporation and our reports are not just papers but our passion for Christ and His mission we put into it.
It’s not the papers. It is the witnessing. Even the bible came after the oral tradition. It is not the structure nor the form, but the substance… When I look at you, will it make me run towards Christ? That’s very basic. Whatever reports we do; nothing happens if the kind of leadership we have continues. No amount of SWOT analysis can save any community, if it’s leadership will not truly live out the vision and mission. No amount of statistics and brainstorming will save the community.
Let’s all go back to why we are here.
Conviction and passion gives energy!
