My vision is so often too small. As I have read from Neil Cole, Organic Church, and other missional thinkers, we need to think bigger when we think of how the gospel spreads. Instead of praying for one person to come to know Christ (a very good prayer), why not think of whole households coming to know Christ (and praying that way as well).
Sometimes we look at an acorn and see it as one nut. God looks at the acorns and sees many trees produced from that one acorn, as it grows, matures, and bears fruit.
We should also look at our vision that way. Don't look just for our church to grow, but look for God to use us to birth many churches that will reach others we are not and probably will not reach otherwise.
Pray bigger prayers--God is a very big God!
