The Lord works through His people by first starting with a vision of His plan and
purposes. Without a vision we loose hope and purpose (Pro. 29:18). But with a vision
we can win the lost, raise up a mighty church, take a city and see Jesus gospel spread
through out the entire Area. The purpose of this first lesson is to understand the concept
of vision, its characteristics and its fundamental importance within our ministry.

Definition

To have a vision is to have a clear idea of what God wants you to be or do.

Where does it come from? God has given the vision to the church. It is the
leaders job to transmit it to the local fellowship.

Who should capture the vision? The first to capture the Vision should be
the leader. The Vision is for every member of the church.

How do we develop it? By making use of the infrastructure which already

exists within the church: Cells, Experiencing God, Leadership Lessons, and
Teams of 5.
