Having a Plan

Submitted by James Higginbotham on September 1, 2006 – 6:15 pmOne Comment

Perry Noble has a recent post regarding people who refuse to plan, and the impact it can have on others. I couldn’t agree more. So, to help you get started, here’s a plan to help you with planning your planning:

  1. Take a few minutes to read Perry’s post.
  2. Then, use my Squidoo lense to view my recent series on project management for your ministry
  3. Finally, make plan and execute it

Thanks to Ernie at the Media Ministry Blog for the kind reference to the current series, “Growing Your Ministry Through…”, and the reference to Perry’s post. Ernie has a great blog – check it out.

    Hi,
    My name is Joshua Wright. I am a Graduate Student at Georgetown University, and am writing a book called Projects With a Purpose (www.projectswithapurpose.com). The book is about how to build healthier projoects in churches or christian organizations. My sad experience is that churches are full of projects/ministries that have not been planned well, executed well, and fail becuase they were managed poorly. The book I am writing seeks to look at 6 elements that are found in all healthy projects and then tries to relate them to projects in Churches and Christian organizations. I would be very interested in anyones feedback on my book, so take a look at http://www.projectswithapurpose.com, there is much more information on the website.
