Missional Health Assessment: Reposting Todd Morr

Todd Morr's Missional Made Simple site has a number of helpful and handy tools for establishing and maintaining a Missional Community.  See https://www.missionalmadesimple.com/

This week, Todd has released a new tool, the MC Missional Health Assessment.

One thing I like about this new assessment tool is its simplicity.  The dot-points are down-to-earth.   Anyone can use it, no training required.

Another advantage is that the tool can be used individually (personal MC health check), by a small group, or by a leadership team.

And the third thing I like is that the tool doesn't give me the answers.  It poses questions; questions that make me think, apply and accept responsibility for my own growth, and the growth of those around me.

The last page has some space for brainstorming, planning and moving forward with goal setting.  (A little tip:  remember goal setting guidelines - make all your goals SMART goals, that is, Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely).  The "Assessing Growth" section on page 3 provides some definitions, and also a place for reflection and checking the type of growth you are seeing.

If you are in Missional Community, or researching, considering or planning same, I encourage you to look at this tool.   

In the famous words that Winston Churchill never said, "never give up", and in the more important and true words of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, "Behold, I am coming soon" (Rev. 22:12), keep pressing toward the goal...


Postscript and References:

I wasn't there,  but apparently Winston Churchill said, "Never give in", not "never give up."  I'll leave that for you to research further!
