Maintaining Missional Vitality!

ONE Ford ۰ ONE Team ۰ ONE Plan ۰ ONE Goal

I was intrigued by this presentation from the first time I saw it … the simplicity, the sincerity, the straight-forwardness grabbed me.

ONE Ford ۰ ONE Team ۰ ONE Plan ۰ ONE Goal

This was the plan that the Ford Motor Company developed to reinvent their company in a time of global financial crisis.

This phrase became their corporate mantra … and they made sure that every employee knew the mission … and it worked!

In a time when the other major car manufacturers desperately needed government cash infusions, Ford could stand independently.

Why?

Because they had discovered the importance of maintaining missional vitality!

While others measured progress and success, the leadership of Ford recognized the importance of maintaining missional vitality!

‘ONE Ford ۰ ONE Team ۰ ONE Plan ۰ ONE Goal’ – that’s what worked for them.

How about us?

In these days of global spiritual crisis do we recognize the importance of maintaining missional vitality?

Can we say as the Apostle Paul did in Philippians 3:13 – ‘This one thing I do’? It’s not about progress or success … it is about missional vitality!

ONE Mandate ۰ ONE Message ۰ ONE Motivation۰ ONE Mission – that’s our call!

And if we answer the call we too will find that we can thrive when others barely survive, stand boldly when others stand barely and live with penetrating focus rather than painful frustration!

Beginning now, let’s reinvent ourselves & passionately pursue what God has ordained for us!

‘ONE Mandate ۰ ONE Message ۰ ONE Motivation۰ ONE Mission – that’s our challenge!

But maintaining missional vitality is so critical for all of us, so let’s say yes to the challenge!

It works … it really, really does!!!
