And we’re off! (again)

Fasten your seatbelts everyone!!!

Change in the mission field accelerates at an unprecedented speed.

Yet, our six-week mission transfer cycle ensures that the pace of change is also predictable.

While this is overwhelming for some, it isn’t going to stop anytime soon!

If you are serving as a missionary in any one of the 416 missions around the world, you’ll need to keep up!

The work of salvation is hastening even faster, there is an increased urgency and speeding up of the work, is an absolute, it is a given!

So how do you keep up?

Maintaining a regular constant regime of learning, through daily routines can really help.

In our mission, like others, there is a strong focus on 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠.

We decelerate on a few occasions too, in order to accelerate once more.

Slowing down in our Mission Leadership Council, Zone Councils, District Councils, Zone Conferences, weekly huddle calls and 1-1 personal coaching sessions with every missionary, allows each of us to catch our breath just long enough, communicate, have some deep dialogue, get aligned, then set the right attentions and intentions for the remainder of the transfer.

I have experienced that our environment of constant change is as natural as breathing.

But, like anything else, it takes time to adjust and find your rhythm.

Weaving agility, flexibility, adaptation, and resilience into our personal DNA help us feel comfortable.

Ultimately, change happens through people.

I have learned that if you want to keep pace with change and tackle future changes, then the 𝐤𝐞𝐲 is to 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑 𝒑𝒆𝒐𝒑𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒗𝒆𝒔.

How do you manage to keep up with change?
