THE GREAT ADVENTURE / VISIONARY NEW CREATURES IN CHRIST
A BETTER IDEA, BY DONALD PETERSON, THE FORMER CEO OF FORD MOTOR
COMPANY, FROM 1980 - 1990. THE COMPANY CAME INTO A CRISIS.
AFTER A TIME OF STRATEGIC EVALUATION, THEY CONCLUDED THAT THEY
HAD LOST SIGHT OF THEIR VISION AND MISSION, OF WHAT THEY WERE IN
BUSINESS TO DO!
THEY WENT BACK TO BASICS AND CRAFTED A NEW MISSION STATEMENT
BUILT ON VALUES.
PETER DRUCKER SAYS IT'S THE HUMAN PROPENSITY TO START WITH A

VISION:"TO SEEK AND SAVE THE LOST" Luke 19:10
"I HAVE NOT COME TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT SINNERS."
Matt. 9:13
MISSION:"I MUST GO TO JERUSALEM..." Mat. 16:21
"I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD (WHO) LAYS DOWN HIS LIFE FOR
THE SHEEP." John 10:11
PRODUCT: A PEOPLE BEING REDEEMED BY GRACE FROM SIN,
BOUND TOGETHER BY CHRIST'S SACRIFICIAL LOVE,

THIS DEMANDING VISION AND MISSION AND ACCEPT SOMETHING LESS
EXACTING AND EVEN SELF-SERVING, SO HE KEPT IT BEFORE THEM
REPEATEDLY.
WITHOUT VISION...
-PEOPLE LIVE MEANINGLESS LIVES OF MONOTONY AND BOREDOM.
-THEY WORK ONLY FOR DOLLARS AND LIVE JOYLESS LIVES WITH NO SENSE
OF ACCOMPLISHMENT OR APPRECIATION OF EXCELLENCE.
-THEY ARE INEFFECTIVE BECAUSE THEY FEEL IN ...
