Day of Prayer and Vision

"Let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as if the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the day drawing near."
Hebrews 10:24,25 NASB

Now it's time to re-read and continue writing in your Day of Prayer and Vision journal. You will undoubtedly want to share excerpts and thoughts with your family and colleagues; so now is a good time to highlight some thoughts as you review what you have written.

One of the results of your Day of Prayer and Vision should be a personal and professional growth plan for the next year. Organizing and compiling your thoughts into a plan helps clarify what the Lord has said and summarize the direction He has indicated for your life and ministry this next year. You may want to take a look at this missionary's growth plan to give you insight and help spark some ideas for your own. Perhaps this template will help you develop your plan.

As part of a ministry team, you can promote unity and cooperation by sharing your growth plan with them. Your colleagues will play an integral role in helping you realize your growth plan (as you will theirs.) There are others with whom you will want to share. Your ministry coach (and/or supervisor), growth (accountability) partner and mentor(s) should have especially insightful contributions. If you are married, of course you will share with your spouse; but don't forget your immediate and extended family. God can use your time alone with Him to be a great blessing to them!
