I haven't really come out with a nice vision statement but instead of playing around with words, I spent a few days meditating about my past and what are those greatest gifts inside me. Trying to figure out towards which direction God is bringing me to.
After long time(not really long also), I realise I am good in a few things,
1.Bible Knowledge (gained in Bible School and backed-up with experiences in serving since I was 12 till now)
I always give my church members a image that is "Cheong Keen knows a lot about bible" or " Bible questions? ask Cheong Keen then" these impression. And practically still I am mentoring some teenagers through forum and Internet.
2.Organizing and Leadership
I was well trained to be a leader since I was 12. It is a gift from God that I managed to become part of the committees no matter what society or fellowship I joined since I was 12 (Church Youth Fellowship, Secondary School Society, UTAR Christian Fellowship, Student Representative Committee, and etc). But weird things is most of the posts I took is the treasurer.
3.Knowing more new friends.
I found out that I can easily gain trust from new friends and they can share with me like a friend who know them well and truly understand them. I figured it out when most of my new friends told me so. Surprisingly this applies to those whom I never talk to them face to face. Maybe through MSN Messenger or forum, I can easily gain their trust as well.
4.InternetI can spend more than 10 hours in front of my computer when I was having holiday.
I know how the Internet works, although I know nothing about the hardware, but I know slightly a bit more than normal computer users. Last year I had a 3-month-holiday and I managed to build a Chinese christian forum and 3 blogs for other churches and fellowships. And I started mentoring a few teenagers through the Internet.
******************************************************************************
My 1st draft is
My vision is to help people explore the issue of God through the Internet and helping them to experience and reflect the goodness of God that they may be God-like in their lives.
My 3 verbs chosen is EXPLORE, CONSTRUCT, and REFLECT.
** I don't know whether this 3 verbs that suits me the best. But yet I feel comfortable with it.
My core value is God-likeness.
** I always remind myself to be more like Jesus. And the phrase "WWJD" really works for me. But I don't know if I want the people around me to be the same with me.
My target group is Internet Users (or maybe only youngsters?).
****************************************************************************
There is a aptitude test I took last year in my bible school. I found it online and was quite helpful to help me know myself even better. I hope it will help you to know me better. And the results are
PERSUASIVE - 95,
SCIENCE - 90,
ASSERTIVE - 85,
ADMINISTRATION - 81,
SALES - 76,
TEACHING/SOCIAL SERVICE - 76,
PERSONAL SERVICE - 74,
SYSTEMATIC - 72,
CLERICAL - 49,
WRITING - 41,
ART - 31,
HEALTH SCIENCE - 25,
FOOD SERVICE - 10,
INDUSTRIAL ART - 6,
OUTDOOR - 3.
The report recommended to go for those which I get 70 or above but the thing is i got almost half above 70 which is slightly amazed my mentor. And he said I will need longer time to really figure out my vision.
