What is Mission Action Planning?Slide6
Chew and Ireland:
A Mission Action Plan is a document which outlines the mission activities that a local church is going to do in the coming months and year. It is built on a clear sense of God’s vision for the church – what God is calling the church to be and to do. So a MAP provides exactly what it says on the tin – an action plan for mission. Slide7
A MAP makes sure the life and work of a church is;
Purposeful – doing what you are convinced is neededDeveloping – always improving how you do these thingsFocussed
– not distracted by less important thingsSlide8

A prayer
God our Creator and Redeemer, help your Church to grow in holiness, unity, effectiveness and numbers. Draw us closer to you and to those around us. Give us enthusiasm in our faith, and wisdom in sharing it with young and old. Open our eyes to new opportunities, our lips to sing and speak of you, and our hearts to welcome the stranger. Grow your kingdom in us and in the world, through the intercession of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Slide25
