Planning

Why is knowing the Vision Important?

Know where we are heading. Evaluate alternative actions

and routes. Prioritize actions.

Disagreements about the way are much easier to solve than disagreements about the direction

A Journey…What do we need for a successful Journey?

▫Reason / Motive▫Vision - Destination /

Direction▫Critical success Factors

(CSF) Good Route, Gas in the

car, good tires,..etc▫Measures or KPI’s▫Action plan

Failing to Plan is the same as

Planning to Fail

A Journey…

Think of a goal as your final destination,

if you don’t know what your final destination is,

there is no way to plan on how to get there.

No planning = Failing

Definition of a Goal

A Goal is:

• A Dream with a deadline. (Napoleon Hill)

• Within your control• In Writing

Video

Why Failure? The goal was not incorporated into a realistic plan

that includes measurements, timelines and resources.

Sometimes we don’t know who we really are, our talents, potentials and powers

It is not only Effort and Creativity that matters The person who set the goal has not told anyone

else for added accountability, help and support. Sometimes we lose the Vision of what we really

need

The Benefits of Setting Goals Suffer less from stress and anxiety Concentrate better Show more self-confidence Perform better The Happier we become

Setting SMART Goals

If goals aren’t reachable,

they aren’t worth making.

All you have to do to set realistic goals

is

follow the SMART goals guidelines.

SPECIFIC• What details do you want to

accomplish?

• “I want to do better in my Spiritual Life”

• “I want to increase my daily Prayer from 5 min to 20 min.

MEASURABLE All goals should have a way to

evaluate whether or not they were accomplished.

“I want to train myself to know God’s will in my life.”

“I want to sit at least half an hour a day with my Bible.”

ATTAINABLE• Goals must be something you

are capable of reaching.

Which one would be a better goal for Ghana Team?

“We will help Ghana to know Christ”

“We will start with a Fun day in 5 Schools in our next Mission.

RELEVANT• Make goals that are important to you

and your lifestyle.

Which goal is better for an Evangelist?

• “My goal is to discover a cure for Atheism”

• “My goal is to inspire at least one person to become a true servant of God to labor with me in the Plentiful Harvest”

TIME - BOUND

• Make sure that you have a time set as a “dead line” so your goal is not unending.

• “Our goal is to be able to turn Ghana to Christians.”

• Our goal is to have a Coptic Priest in Ghana within 3 Years.

Does a person have to achieve their goals in order

to be successful?

N OFailure to meet goals only matters if

you don’t learn something from your mistakes.

Sometimes God has a better plan, which will serve the Vision more

appropriately, as long as our Vision is IDENTICAL to our Lord’s Vision

Example of A Strategic Plan

Vision

Engaging people to Christ, on the foundation of the Gospel

and the Sacraments of our Living Church

Mission

To deliver the Living Christ within us and show His endless love, to all the uninvolved Christians, unbelievers and Churched people in

whatever countries which are in need and willing to accept our service. We strive to draw people’s attention to the goal of our

existence and afterlife destination, which is the Kingdom of Heaven, and to gain souls to Christ through running successful

projects and preparing suitable calibers to be rooted on the Faith of the Mother Coptic Orthodox Church, and to be equipped for evangelism and pastoral care. St. Paul Evangelism service will

humbly give the needed help and support, avoiding the authoritarian image; this will be achieved through loyal servants

who sincerely believe, carefully study, faithfully explain and relevantly apply the word of God through the Mother Church.

Example of Joshua’s Strategic Plan

Joshua’s Vision: “For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time; But

at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.” (Hab 2:3)

ال و تتكلم النهاية في و الميعاد الى بعد الرؤيا النال و اتيانا ستاتي النها فانتظرها توانت ان تكذب

تتاخر. "If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us

into this land and give it to us, 'a land which flows with milk and honey' (Num 14 : 8)

اياها يعطينا و االرض هذه الى يدخلنا الرب بنا سر انعد ) عسال و لبنا تفيض (8 : 14ارضا

Joshua’s Mission:موسى خادم نون بن يشوع كلم الرب ان الرب عبد موسى موت بعد كان و

الشعب قائال. هذا كل و انت االردن هذا اعبر قم فاالن مات قد عبدي موسى . اسرائيل لبني اي لهم معطيها انا التي االرض بطون الى تدوسه موضع كل

اعطيته لكم .اقدامكم موسى كلمت النهر كما الى هذا لبنان و البرية منمغرب نحو الكبير البحر الى و الحثيين ارض جميع الفرات نهر الكبير

. تخمكم يكون الشمس"Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them -- the children of Israel. "Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have

given you, as I said to Moses. "From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and

to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory.”

Joshua’s Mission:ال معك اكون موسى مع كنت كما حياتك ايام كل وجهك في انسان يقف ال

. اتركك ال و انت اهملك النك تشجع و الشعب تشدد لهذا التي تقسم االرض . للعمل تتحفظ لكي جدا تشجع و متشددا كن انما اعطيهم ان البائهم حلفت

الشريعة كل شماال حسب ال و يمينا عنها تمل ال عبدي موسى بها امرك التي. تذهب حيثما تفلح لكي

"No man shall [be able to] stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, [so] I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake

you. "Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

"Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever

you go.”

Joshua’s Mission:

الشريعة هذه سفر يبرح تتحفظ ال لكي ليال و نهارا فيه تلهج بل فمك من. تفلح حينئذ و طريقك تصلح حينئذ النك فيه مكتوب هو ما كل حسب للعمل"This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all

that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

(Josh 1: 2- 8)

Joshua’s Mission:Landing on Canaan Land DistributionEnforcing Law

Strategy & Action Plan Strategic Goal : Occupying Secured cities e.g.

Jericho Action Plan : SMART Objective

You shall march around the city, all [you] men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days.

And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. ( Josh 6 : 3-4 )

Output : Occupying Jericho“So the people shouted when [the priests] blew the trumpets.

And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the

wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.” (Josh 6: 20)

Outcome : Experience the power of the Hands of the Lord

Impact : Fear in all the area from God’s people“So the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout

all the country” (Josh 6: 27)
