3 Looks Back-

 

Look back at yourself- How have you grown in this past year? Come up with 3 things

Look back at your spiritual life- List 3 things

Look back at the overall ministry- list 3

 

What is the trend you see? Growth, loss, change? (better or worse) New things? Same old things?

 

Looking back, what ONE thing stands out?

What is one thing you can learn from your 3?

Where do you see God working in those 3 things?

 

Spend some time - thinking through these things- Are they positive written or negative tones? Why are they the way they are?

 

If you could go back and change 1 of the three what would it be and why? How would it look different?

3 Looks forward- 

 

As you look forward

What do you envision for yourself in an ideal year?

What do you envision for your spiritual life in an ideal year?

What do you envision for your overall ministry in an ideal year?

 

What trend do you want to see?

What will you experience in the new year?

Where do you want to see God work and what will be the fruit at the end of this new year?

 

Spend some time dreaming, asking God to give you the vision for 2021-

What will be your top 3 priorities in 2021

You

Spiritually

Ministry

 

What are you going to do to make this happen- List some smaller steps for each of the top 3

 

Set some check in deadlines for these- put them on your calendar as reminders

Get 2 people to help with prayer and accountability- DON'T SKIP THIS!

 

 

Did you include any of the following on your lists?

Develop yourself as a leader?

Plan for regular rest?

Develop 1 person to take my place?

Disciple 1 person

Encourage 1 set of parents or a single parent

 

**You may be asking how am I supposed to fit these in. If you have the right priorities you will find these things happening and producing fruit for you.

 

I want to challenge you all for 2021- Let this be the year we get back to the basics of Kids ministry. Where we help them understand the gospel, how to have a personal relationship with Jesus and how to walk with him daily- Reading his word, praying, sharing faith with others so they too can make disciples.

 

Let’s make our environments fun and attractive but, Let’s make them be the tool, not the main thing. 

Let’s use our curriculum to take kids deeper into God’s word so that they can see how it leads them to live in an ever changing world.

Let’s share our lives with others so that we are helping them walk with God in an intimate way.

Let’s take care of ourselves and operate at a sustainable pace of ministry where it's not about programming it's about people.

Lets develop a simple and effective strategy to reach those who come into the building and those who will stay at home.

Let’s develop a simple plan to take the good news into our community by serving them where they are not making them come to us.

Let’s have a solid plan to rest and restore so we can stay in ministry for the long haul because the world needs us now, more than ever to be healthy in our heart, souls and minds.

 

If you need help, instead of struggling, instead of feeling ashamed. Invest in yourself. Hire a coach/mentor.

 

I am determined that 2021 will be a great year for KMC Coaching. It’s my goal to help hundreds of ministry leaders in 2021. My pla
