A VISION EMERGES “Visions are born in the soul of a man who is consumed with the tension between what is and what could be... Vision is a clear mental picture of what could be, fueled by the conviction that it should be... Vision requires visionaries, people who have allowed their minds and hearts to wander outside the artificial boundaries imposed by the world as it is. A vision requires an individual who has the courage to act on an idea.” (Andy Stanley, Visioneering, pgs.17,18)
