Dreaming Time

We are taking some time as a staff team to spend with the Lord and dream about the future. Here are some snapshots from my mind as I dream:

3-Dimensional Transformation...
I sincerely want my influence and that of my ministry to be 3 dimensional: internal, relational, and spatial. I want my leadership to cause people to transform not only their lives, not only the lives of those around them, but the landscape. I want to inspire them to transform the space around them as they pursue the Lord more fully. I want Chico to physically look different as a result of my time here.

Organizational Reformation...
I want to send out full time Campus Crusade for Christ staff that are committed to challenging the status quo, and being bold and faith filled enough to actually cause change in our organization. We have too many staff members who are satisfied to maintain the present, and not enough staff committed to build and lead in light of the future. 

Supernatural Vindication...
I desire to see Jesus get the glory HE DESERVES! The cost on my part to see this happen is often significant, and at times, beyond what I'm willing to pay. I would love to be known as a leader and as a movement that stays the course to the point where Jesus tangibly and powerfully gets the glory he deserves. So far this has required courage to pursue things that are not yet seen and precious at the cost of things that are seen and manageable. 

Yes each one rhymes which is a little cheesy. But those 3 things are that which at the end of the day I want to be held accountable to the Lord for being about. 

What do you want to see?

in reading your 3 categories, I couldn't help but think of the prophet, priest, & king dimensions of Jesus' ministry. I think the 3-D transformation is a reflection of the priestly dimension of ministry. Organizational reformation would be a manifestation of the prophetic ministry. The Kingly dimension isn't as easy to translate, but I do believe that the Kingly dimension of Jesus' ministry is about the rule and reign of Christ over all of creation. I think that fits with your stated desire of seeing Him get the true glory He deserves. I think that's an acknowledgment of Jesus as King and our ministry ought to ascribe to Him the honor and glory that The King truly deserves.

Curious what you think about that...
