- How do you monitor/assess transformative impact in each of these areas of ministry influence?
- What are your primary missional objectives in the next 1-3 years?
- What structures/systems/attitudes/behaviors do you identify as obstacles to your missional effectiveness?
- What structures/systems will you simplify in order to reduce need for finances/personnel while preserving relational effectiveness?
