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?

11. Spiritual Application:
• What is your place in
this world?
• Do you know the
Creator’s plan for your
life?

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?"
