An integrated vision is: * Specific * Non-competitive * Liberating

The Power Of Integrated Vision

Malfunctions in the Mission * Can be divisive * Clique-ish * Focusing on Stage One, while ignoring stages Three and Four * Focusing on Stage Four, while ignoring stages One and Two *A church with a vision of its mission to reach the uttermost parts of the earth must have a strong Stage Two. Fulfilling our obligation to bless our own culture gives the credibility that missionary enterprises too often lack in offering Gods blessing to an unreached people.
