Boil it down to an irreducible minimum. Andy cited the One Campaign's vision statement as an example: make poverty history.
Andy also shared Northpoint's vision: to create a church that unchurched people love to attend.
"Vision leaks." As your church gets larger, you need more vision and you need to share it more frequently. One of the unique challenges we face at NCC is our turnover rate. 44% of NCCers have attended less than one year. So we need to communicate vision more consistently.
"Stories do more to clarify and illustrate vision than anything else."
5) Embrace it Personally and Publicly

44% attend less than a year? That is incredible. That doesn't sound like a good thing.
got to have a vision before you can cast it. then managers have to believe in it. they wont share it if they dont believe in it or worse not know it. heres a question. if i have a vision will it be the same wherever whenever? if i moved from nyc to rural kansas wouldnt god give me something that ties into whos there or the area itself. would andy stanley have the same vision in cuba? ive been too many places where gimmicks of the day are far more important than vision. does it start with purpose. whats the goal. or is vision especially in churches rooted around $$$. how many are too afraid to lose funding than speak truth. character integrity and being real not fake. people follow that. when did man get so dumb and start following people instead of god.
