From Rags to Riches!

There are so many resources that can help you in youth ministry.  What is the first thing you would do if you took over a student ministry today?  How can you go from Rags to Riches?


I don't necessarily mean this:
Small to Big Numbers
Lame to Amazing Programs
You-led to Student-led Services
Starbucks trips to Mission Trips

I do mean this:  Rags to Riches.  No Clear Vision to Clear Vision.  Achieving your goal or vision for your ministry.  That may include the list above.  It may not. Where are you headed?  How can you measure success?  Whatever your vision is, what steps are you taking to get there?  Does your team or church even know what it is?  If you were to put it into one sentence or two, what would it say?

Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. Habakkuk 2:2 ESV
