Last night we did our Vision Campaign for the second time. Last week we were at Parque la Carolina, which is pretty close to our house, and last night we were at Plaza Foch, one of the nightlife hot spots in Quito. Everyone in the group dresses the same way, and half stand perfectly still in formation with blindfolds over their eyes to signify life without sight and vision. The rest of the group passes out flyers and talks with people who stop to look at the living art.
“We are not limited by our abilities, but by our vision” – “Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others” – “The only thing worse than being blind, is to have sight but no vision”
The purpose of Vision Campaign is to encourage people to reflect on and consider the vision (or lack thereof) they have for their lives, what do they feel is their purpose and how do they plan to live that out? It’s an important concept to everyone in our group as this whole Submerge experience has caused us to determine, examine and flesh-out our purpose, dreams and plans. I believe that God places certain passions and desires in our hearts and that it honors Him to live those out to the fullest extent. Your purpose in life isn’t limited to being in ministry full time as a pastor, because our whole life is our ministry. For myself, I feel passionate about understanding businesses, economics, entrepreneurship and women’s rights. I am researching, praying and working to find ways to live out those passions right now and for my whole life. Part of that is an online community I’m starting for middle school girls, to encourage them to develop interest in science, technology, engineering, math and business.
So I have to ask… What’s your vision for your life?
