Early this year, the ECM International Office developed six core values which define who we are as an organization. These values go beyond our mission and vision statements, and get to the very core of what ECM is all about and how we will carry out the work of the ministry on a daily basis. Over the next few months, I will be sharing each of these values with you, and then asking you and your respective teams to flesh out each value. You will be answering the question "how can we be intentional about being..." The specific steps that you come up with will guide you as you make sure that your team is fulfilling the mission and vision of ECM according to its core values. There are no right or wrong answers. I ask you only to honestly, together with your co-workers, discuss what each value looks like with "flesh" on it. How can we put each value into practice on a regular basis? I look forward to your comments as together we grow as a staff. Here is Core Value #1:
We will be Scripture Based and Spirit Empowered: Using God's Word as our guide, we will live out the Good News of Jesus in our words and deeds, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
How can we, as ECM staff, be intentional about being Scripture based and Spirit empowered? Share your responses/ideas in the comments section on this blog, and discuss with your co-workers!
Team ECM! We are one team, just as we are one body in Christ! Monica
