The Mission Work Plan of the General Assembly Mission Council that was approved by the Council in February 2012 consists of statements of Vision, Mission, Directional Goals and Core Values that were developed in a comprehensive process over seven months, and involving inputs from hundreds of church leaders, including GAMC members, and GAMC staff members, and hours of prayer and deliberation by the staff and elected members of the strategy planning teams. This GAMC Strategy White Paper is the result of that work.
