Max DePree, who authored “Leadership is an Art,” is credited with saying: “The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality.” If you think you are in Johannesburg and you are really in Durban, it will be difficult to lead anyone to Cape Town. A leader who won’t face reality, cannot lead. That is true of the leadership of a church.
Would you be willing to face the truth of your church in relation to the Great Commission? Many churches would say they are “missions minded” but are they really? Pastors must acknowledge the truth if they wish to lead the church forward.
We Can Help
Propempo is an organisation that assists churches to “develop biblical, local church centered missions ministry.” The name itself means, “to send forward.” They have multiple resources to help a church as they seek to grow in fulfilling the Great Commission. One of those tools is the Church Missions Profile which gives pastors and church leadership a snapshot of where your church is right now in relation to the Great Commission. It is the best diagnostic instrument that I’ve ever found. It only takes a few minutes to answer the questions, after which they provide a report and recommendations about how to move your church to the next level in missions. This profile serves as the foundation for our Mobilising to Light the Globe workshop – offered at no charge for church leadership teams.
