  4. “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 Expedition led by: Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton

  5. A Story of courage that IMPACTED our world!

  6. 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 sinkin 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

  8. Reimagine fourSquare Framework • A. Re-Focus our Mission: This will bring needed clarity to our mission, vision and values. 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. • B. Re-Design our Roles/Responsibilities: This exercise will greatly inform us of how we will lead and manage going into the future for maximize 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.

  9. Reimagine fourSquare Framework • 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 It is outdated and is a patchwork of decisions pieced together over decades.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. • 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.
