395 Gaps and Missed Opportunities: Mission Planning Fails (Dave Jensen)

March 25, 2025

'A failure to plan is a plan to fail' – an adage that rings especially true when planning for mission. In this episode, Dave Jensen explores common pitfalls churches encounter when planning for mission.

  • Why having a plan helps you with reactivity and commitment
  • The importance of the right goals guiding the plan
  • Knowing you really need two mission plans
  • A plan to create and keep 'mission heat'
  • When and how to ask for help for a mission plan

Dave Jensen is the Assistant Director of Evangelism and New Churches (ENC), with a specific focus on the ‘E’ of ENC: Evangelism. His aim is to assist churches in their endeavours to see lost people find life and hope in Jesus.
