CHAPTER 4:
PLANNING;
Objectives permit you to accomplish God’s specific purpose for your ministry. A major reason
for having objectives is to help get things done that need to be done in order to fulfill your
purpose. Having a plan helps you make things happen rather than just letting things happen.
Plans permit you to act with purpose rather than react in urgent frenzy.
Objectives provide direction. Because objectives identify what is to be done, everyone knows
the plan. There is a sense of direction and commitment towards a common goal. Confusion is eliminated. Direction is difficult if you do not know where you are going. Objectives provide
knowledge of where you are going. Because you are planning ahead, you can anticipate
problems and work out solutions before the problems occur. You can engage in offensive
spiritual warfare rather than defensive.

Planning helps people find their place of ministry in the Body of Christ. Because objectives
identify who will do what, each person in the ministry knows his specific task. You can
mobilize the entire fellowship of believers in united purpose and plans.
