Phase 2: Focusing Visions

In this second round of listening, you are focusing the visions given earlier by folks in the Florida-Bahamas Synod via the Synod Assembly and an online survey this past June.

For each vision identified by our Synod community, imagine you are in the future, and the ministry is happening. You are watching ministry occur. What is that ministry? What is that partnership? What is that program? Try to be as specific as possible.
