What are some markers for strategic missional ministry?
Reflection Exercise: Write under each marker ideas, suggestions or stories that come to mind where these markers were/are identifiable in your life/ministry?
Focus - that which drives, moves who we are and what we do beyond our family of faith and our ?comfort zones'
Intentionality - the consistency of expectations, aspirations and standards for evaluation for who we are and what we do
Impact - how we are experienced and found ?being the presence of Christ' in our rapidly changing world - at home, community, recreation, marketplace and congregation always seeking to align with our commitment to missional living
Influence - how we are experienced by and around others as we seek to manifest the fruit and gifts of the Spirit through the lives we live
Structures - how we organize ourselves, family, work, relationships to align with the values of being Christian
Faithfulness - how our lives reflect our commitment to the cause of Christ in the world and how consistent we are to manifest these virtues daily in every relationship
Fruitfulness - a celebration of God in us and God working through us for His glory and His mission
Multiplication - living by God's call, and always seeking to multiply God's mission, God's way for all people
