We recently completed a five-week Career Path Planning Workshop with 62 staff from 24 countries registered. Our objectives were to help staff walk through the Career Path Planning process for themselves, learn to guide others through it, and help create a culture in our movements of seeking the Lord\u2019s continued leading<\/strong> in our lives. I want to summarize what we learned in the Career Path Planning Workshop for those who missed it.<\/p>

We borrow the term Career Path Planning from the corporate world. However, with our unique position as full-time Christian workers in a missionary organization, our foundational understanding of career path planning differs quite a bit<\/span>\u00a0from the secular model. For us, it is not just an intellectual exercise but a spiritual exercise of listening to God\u2019s leading and walking in humble obedience to Him! It is following Jesus\u2019 steps and being sensitive to know and follow God\u2019s wonderful plan for our lives.<\/span><\/p>

We learned how to use a simple Career Pathway Map that can be easily adapted, used, shared, and translated for use in every country. The process consists of three steps:<\/p>

  1. Know<\/b> your God-given design, desires, and calling (assessing how God has uniquely made you, called you, and built into your life for His service).<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  2. Discern<\/b> your best contribution as you seek to serve Him, and explore possible ministry options.<\/span><\/p><\/li>

  3. Plan<\/b> action steps for continued growth and development (both in your current and possible future ministry roles).<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    We also considered how to help others through the process and how to develop a Career Path Planning System to help create a national culture of seeking God\u2019s continued leading. We want to be known as a ministry and a people continually seeking our Lord and following His leading. It was encouraging that most participants shared action points that included helping others (staff, volunteers, disciples, ministry partners, etc.) work through the Career Path Planning Process.<\/p>
