Ray Webb
Vision / Planning Consultant
•
I have admired Ray Webb and the concepts of
Vision Planning since the first day we met and
strongly recommend that members of your
ministry staff meet with them. Cross the nation if
necessary... but meet with Vision Planning as
soon as you can.

Vision Planning offers the missing link between ministry visioning and architecture. This process will save
you time and money, while building much greater unity of vision among your people.
Paul Sorensen, President, Joy Leadership Center
•
I want to express my deepest gratitude for the "life-giving" experience during our Vision Planning
sessions. The fellowship and prayers were enriching and your knowledge and direction was indeed most
helpful. It has been a refreshing new start for me.
Jim Mertz, Senior Pastor, Harvest Church, Colorado Springs, CO

Vision Planning's ability to maximize your church's ministry potential and their commitment to excellence
are vital keys that will raise the level of your ministry's effectiveness and success.

Vision Planning was invaluable in helping us. We thought we had a big vision, but our eyes were opened
as we were challenged and motivated to rethink what God might have for us in our community.
Brian Murphy, Administrative Pastor, Riverlakes Comm. Church
•
We used Vision Planning at a time when we needed clarity and answers to specific questions. We
prayed and felt God telling us there is safety in counsel. So, we went into our Visioneering Retreat
expecting to receive the clarity and answers we needed. We received both! Our retreat with Vision
Planning greatly helped us at a time when we needed wisdom and direction. We recommend Vision
Planning highly and without reservation.
Pastors Joe and Deborah Oakley, Grace Fellowship Church, Grand Prairie, TX

Vision Planning has thoroughly re-energized our zeal and passion for ministry. Using a systematic
Biblically-based process, Vision Planning helped us discern God's will for our future. The time we shared
was utterly transforming. Vision Planning’s unique ability to craft a narrative story of our vision to share
with our congregation and school has helped us believe that we can achieve God's vision over the next
20 years. I am still astounded at how God used Vision Planning to serve us. I only wish I had done this
15 years ago. I unhesitatingly and wholeheartedly encourage others to experience a Visioneering
Retreat. BUT be prepared to return home - changed!
Dr. David-Paul Zimmerman, Pastor - Amazing Grace Lutheran Church and School, Seattle, WA

Vision Planning has been the single best decision of my ministry. I can honestly say that I have never felt
more motivated. Vision Sunday was awesome! We have begun to "run" with the vision! Our people are
living it, and it has become much more than a motto. Our church is growing like never before.
Pastor Kevin Kleinhenz, Living Hope Church (COG), Baytown, TX
•
The Visioneering Retreat in Colorado Springs was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Vision
Planning has a heart for the church and a passion to help them go to the next level.

Visioneering
was
the
best
investment
I’ve
made
in
my
18
years
as
a
Senior
Pastor.
We’ve
been
sharing
the
vision
with
different
groups
of
different
sizes
and
then
meeting
with
the
people
individually!
This
has
proved
to
be
invaluable.
It’s
taken
more
out
of
us
and,
at
the
same
time,
done
more
in
us
than
we
ever
dreamed.
God
is
working
in
ways
never
imagined
and
in
people
we
never
expected.
Since
being
with
Vision Planning 16 months ago God has enlarged me. For that I cannot thank you enough.
Pastor Frankie Powell,
World Outreach Center, Oneonta, AL

My Visioneering in Colorado has inspired me to become wild...man is it a gas to be on a great adventure
with God!
Pastor George Stathos, Calvary Chapel of Amador, Pine Grove, CA
•
Vision Planning is just what we needed during our transition into our new building. It has lifted a huge
weight off of me. Now we can move forward strategically towards God's plan for us.
Pastor Wilbur Outten, Freeport Bible Church, Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas
•
Our visioneering sessions were a high water mark in the history of our church. The quality and the style
of writing in our vision narrative was excellent—reminiscent of Frank Peretti or Jerry Jenkins. The flow is
fantastic and the story clearly conveys God's heart for our future.
Pastor John Jerry Smith,
Centro Cristiano de Guayaquil (AOG), Ecuador
•
I
want
to
thank
you
for
a
great
time
together!
I
am
so
excited
that
I
don't
think
that
I
can
wait
until
we
have a leadership retreat to share this document. I was blessed from spending this time with you.
Pastor Samuel Holland,
ACCESS Community Church, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
•
The
guys
at
Vision
Planning
locked
me
into
a
room
for
two
days
and
the
results
have
been
amazing.
Our
people are engaged like never before!
Pastor Malcolm MacPhail,
New Hope Community Church (AOG), Gilroy, CA

When I shared the vision narrative from the pulpit, my congregation gave me a standing ovation.
