What's it take to carry out your God-given mission?
You’re coaching Mark, a math teacher at an
international Christian school in Korea. He
wants to clarify God’s calling. In previous sessions,
he identified the problems/opportunities he’s
passionate about and blessed by God to address. He
also drafted a personal mission statement: Equipping
Christians to live for Jesus.
Says Mark, “I feel pretty good about my mission statement. It reflects who I am and the problems/opportunities I want to address. It’s already helped my focus. But as a statement, it’s fairly broad. I want to make it more specific, more concrete. That way I’ll be able to take action on my mission."
Question: What can you ask Mark?
Answer: “What’s it take to carry out your God-given mission?”
In other words, “What 5-10 areas do you need to be involved in to carry out your mission and, consequently, to address the problems and opportunities you identified?” (As necessary, give examples of area. *See list below.)
Once Mark has identified 5-10 areas, ask “What’s your goal for each area?” Here’s a sample: Coaching—Provide the support, encouragement, and accountability Christian leaders need to pursue God’s calling.
As Mark develops a goal for each area, he’ll be answering “What’s it take to carry out your God-given mission?” As Mark develops a goal for each area, he’ll be making his mission more specific, concrete, and actionable.
