Tips for Building Your Person Growth Plan

1. Set a goal in at least one of the 4 areas listed below. If appropriate, consider setting two or more goals, starting with one from each area.

2. Set goals that are specific and measurable. Your goal(s) should stretch you out of your comfort zone a bit, but still be reasonable to attain.

3. A personal growth plan is personal! Don't feel pressure to attain a certain standard or set goals that match someone else's. RENEW is not about attaining perfection, but about making progress. You set goals that fit where you currently are on the journey of discipleship.


Suggested Goals:

1) PRAY Individually

Establish a routine of personally praying for Gospel outreach.  

Some suggestions:
Schedule a weekly (or daily) time to pray for Gospel outreach: 
  • Pray by name for for non-Christians you know to come to saving faith in Jesus.
  • Use our RENEW 2025 Prayer Guide for fresh prayer prompts each week.

2) FAST

Remove a meal (or some other cherished activity) from your routine for a time, in order to pursue Jesus better.

Some suggestions - here are a few ways Harvest members have pursued fasting:
  • Skip lunch once per week (or more). Use that time to go for a walk and pray.
  • Cut out one evening per week of TV/media. Use that time to read a devotional with friends or family.
  • Forgo the daily latte. Donate the money saved to Harvest, to another local ministry, or to a missionary.
