In this episode, the second part of a mini-series on strategic planning, Nick and Rick focus on the concept of ’mission’, the definition, the often confused difference and relationship between mission and vision, why clarity of mission matters in the church (parish, diocese, school, family, your organization), and how to approach missional clarity.   Though vision and mission are critically linked and dependent on each other, it is vital for leaders to know the difference and the importance of providing clarity of both. So the “mission” of this episode is to help leaders become more comfortable and confident in discerning and effectively communicating their mission for the entire team/family.   Mission Challenge:  Prayer Sessions: Higher Level, longer-term mission. For example: What is our part of the Great Commission; what are you calling us to do?  How are we to arrive at the vision of success that you have shown us? Prayer Sessions: Deeper Dives, shorter term How will we succeed in your mission for us? What is most important right now? Who is to do what? What am I personally called to do in light of the larger mission here? ______   MissioInstitute.org Connect with us! Missionguys@missioinstitue.org
