8. KEY CONCEPT: A SHARED VISION
• We tend to get frustrated when we don’t have the complete
picture.
• Our choices are easy when everyone shares the same vision.
• We need to share the vision, the goal, the big picture with
people when we give them tasks so that they can make the
right choices when decisions arise.
• We can make the right choices by seeing which options align
with the vision.

9. Business Application:
• Do you delegate tasks without sharing the vision
of what this task will accomplish?
• How do your gifts, talents, skills and abilities
contribute the big picture in your company?

10. Personal Application:
• Do you have a dream, a goal for your life that guides
your important decisions?
• Are your decisions decided by the whim of the moment
or do they bring you closer to your dream?

12. Relationships Application:
• Do you have problems with communication because
you lack a shared vision?
• Do you make decisions in relationships based on your
vision of what others need and want? How would
this change the decisions you make?

13. Bible Studies based on the book of Jonah
Only. This youth camp curriculum was
designed to teach the basic truths
of obedience in addition to evangelism in the
context of a Biblical character. The advantage
of going through a book and looking at one
man's story is that we see not only the
teaching but the example. It becomes much
more real!

Camp Bible Study Series
“Who Do You Say that I AM?”
www.creativeyouthideas.com/resources/whodoyousay.html
-> Tell me about “Who Do You Say that I AM?”
Jesus asked the disciples, "Who do others
say that I am?" It was easy to answer
because it required no conviction, no
commitment, and no risk. But then he
follows that question with another, "Who
do YOU say that I am?"
