									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This lesson focuses on planning. It enables all of the analysis done on both the area to be ministered to and the ministry doing the work to come to fruition. Without a plan, it’s down to pure luck (or sigificant divine intervention) if a ministry achieves its goals, and even if it does it would likely have taken longer than with proper planning.</p>
