“Men wanted: For hazardous journey; small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful; honor and recognition in case of success.”

1914 Antarctic “Endurance” led by: Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton

DRIVEN BY THE PRACTICAL: TRUE NORTH and chasms that you’ll encounter along the way. If in pursuit of your destination, you plunge ahead, heedless of obstacles, and to achieve nothing more than to sink in a swamp, what’s the use of knowing TRUE NORTH?

—Abraham Lincoln

“A compass I learnt when I was surveying, it’ll point you to TRUE NORTH from where you are standing, but it’s got no advice for the swamps, and deserts

in a swamp, what’s the use

—Abraham Lincoln

where you are standing, but it’s got no advice for the swamps, and deserts

REIMAGINE FOURSQUARE FRAMEWORK

A. ! Re-Claim our Spiritual Vitality: This focus is to help us ensure the spiritual vitality of our movement. We were birthed in a season of a powerful move of the Holy Spirit and our movement has a prophetic call over it. We need to weave this assignment throughout our strategic plans.

B.! Re-Focus our Identity: This will bring needed clarity to our mission, vision, values and theology. It will bring affirmation to the D.N.A. of our movement and help build a foundation for our future efforts. Our commitment to diversity at times has left us devoid of a clear consensus of our identity. This effort is incredibly important.

REIMAGINE FOURSQUARE FRAMEWORK C. ! Re-Ignite our Mission: From leadership development to church

planting to a global missions commitment, the Foursquare Church is re-energizing its efforts to spark a renewed passion for mission. This focus will assure Kingdom fruitfulness both now and in the future as we fan the flame of our Movement to fulfill the Great Commission.

D.! Re-Design our Responsibilities: This exercise will greatly inform us of how we will lead and manage going into the future for maximized effectiveness. This will bring much needed conversation and recommendations to the best contributions of the local church, the district office and the national office. This is probably the key to arriving at good polity and resourcing recommendations.

E.! Re-Align our Polity: We have a 20th Century polity while leading in the 21st Century. It is outdated and is a patchwork of decisions pieced together over decades. It needs an over-haul. It needs to be thoroughly examined and shaped to best serve the model of ministry and administration that will help fulfill our Mission. Our governance, our property policies, our protocols, our processes, etc., all need a thorough review.

F.! Re-Allocate our Resources: We must steward our resources to where they provide the greatest return. Our goal is to find creative financing for the central office, while allocating the Covenant Tithe for ministry in the field. It will require continued stream-lining at the central offices while providing much needed resources for the local church and district offices. We will need to examine all of our corporate assets and determine how they best serve the Mission.
