Ministry-Directed Vision Emergence
Part of the ministry resources on Church Leadership and Renewal.
People-Directed Vision Emergence is a “serve up” approach to renewal for established churches that are highly suspect of strong vision leadership from one person. Established churches have unique features that require the vision process to progress indirectly as the people become outwardly focused, exercise their spiritual gifts in Christian ministry, out of which a vision “emerges” as people serve, thus “serve up.”
