The Harvest Ministry Teams summer season is in full swing. Here is an excerpt from the Harvest Handbook, which is used by the team that is traveling to camps, churches, and events.
8 P’s for Achievement
- Prepare Prayerfully
- Plan Purposefully
- Proceed Positively
- Pursue Persistently
— Author unknown
We can all apply these to our ministries and our lives:
Prepare Prayerfully – Prayer needs to be our foundation. Prayer is where the action is. Prayer leads us to the vision.
Plan Purposefully – Be intentional about what you are trying to plan. Be ready to work hard in collaboration, strategy, and goal setting.
Proceed Positively – Keep moving forward, taking purposeful steps, and looking at the bright spots. Even in the midst of obstacles, remain positively focused on the vision and goal.
Pursue Persistently – Don’t give up. Stick with it. Invest time in making your goals happen. Allow the vision to come out in conversations, meetings, and communication.
Achievement is a product of many areas coming together toward one goal. These eight words are powerful as you go forward. They can also be broken up. You need to prepare, plan, proceed, and pursue, while being prayerful, purposeful, positive, and persistent.
Enjoy the journey!
