To be effective, vision must be: 1. Clearly and repeatedly communicated in several different ways. 2. Be understood by the congregation – they need to understand it the way the leaders do. 3. Embraced by the congregation – it has to become their vision. 4. Able to provoke a response from the members of the church.

The Five Marks of a Man

1. Men have a vision (boys drift)

2. Men take a minority position (stand against the tide of wrongdoing)

3. Men are team players (make each other better)

4. Men work (serve others; produce)

5. Men are protectors (build the future of others)
