We all know that having vision is important. But not evaluating our ministry according to our vision is like not having vision at all. Some obvious questions we should be asking ourselves are “is my ministry going where I want it to go?” and “what do I think of it?”.
However, there are other important questions we should be asking ourselves, and in this post I will talk about some of them. In my case, I am in charge of one of our kid’s services, and the questions reflect that, but you can change them to whatever you want.
1. What does God think of my service?
The first thing we have to do is stop and listen to God. Often He has things to say and is just waiting for us to stop and listen to Him. After all, we are doing everything for Him, right? (If you are not, then stop!)
2. What do my leaders think of my service?
Sometimes our leaders won’t be present during our service, but we must know their vision well enough to be able to answer this question. Are we following their vision? Is anything happening that they wouldn’t like? Is anything missing? Can we do anything better? Don’t wait until they come and tell you what is wrong, fix it before that happens; and don’t bother them with trivial problems that you can fix yourself.
3. What do my kids think of my service?
What would a new kid think/feel/experience once they arrive in the room? Will they feel welcomed, or lost? Are the kids having fun? Is your team focusing on the kids? The service is for the kids, and if they are not experiencing God, having fun and enjoying the friendship of their leaders and other kids, something is wrong.
