What ignites your congregation's passion? Develop a missions strategy around that passion and your members will get involved.
A Design Your Impact Workshop can be the first step in helping your church formulate that strategy. It's a fast-paced, five-hour interactive experience for your church's leaders, facilitated by WorldVenture.
The Workshop Includes: - Stories about congregations like yours that learned how to make a strategy and have global impact.
- Practical help to define the key features God built into your church that you can maximize for effective outreach.
- Guidance as you investigate what God might want your church to do to fulfill the Great Commission.
- A game plan to design and implement your church's own strategy.
Workshop Details
Design Your Impact Workshops use different media and lots of group interaction. They can be scheduled for a single day or split across two days.
The process is organized into five parts:
- Recognize God's Global Design.
Consider God's plan to use the church to reach all peoples and how changing global circumstances are opening new opportunities. - Discover Your Design.
Identify key elements God has built into your congregation-for a purpose. - Study Other Designs.
Learn from other churches who formed a strategy for missions based on their design and see how they are having a significant impact. - Design Your Impact.
Begin to identify how God may want to use your church's unique design to maximize local and global impact, including open-ended praying and brainstorming among your church's leaders. - Run by Design.
Prepare to implement your strategy and design a plan to mobilize your congregation. You can also learn about optional mission strategy coaching. See a Sample

What Others Have Said
"Rather than give us pat answers, the Design Your Impact Workshop led us through a fun, step-by-step brainstorming process. We loved the practical ideas illustrated in the videos."
Lillian Choy - Missions Committee
"In just one day we moved light years ahead in missions! By the end of the workshop, we had identified three possible strategic options that fit our DNA and determined a clear decision-making plan. Within two months, we chose and launched a church-wide outreach that already is energizing our entire congregation!"
Ken Aune - Pastor
"This really helped us solidify our vision for missions. It was very helpful to consider our unique characteristics and giftedness as a church to see how God could use us to evangelize our corner of the world and beyond." Barbara Hyde - Missions Committee Member, Faith Community Church
