Vision Frame Draft

The Church Multiplication Team for the Forest Lakes District has worked with me to develop the following vision frame based on a process outlined by Will Mancini in Church Unique. This frame will become the basis for future development goals. Because this is a draft your feedback is welcome and desired.
