Activity
Say “You are going to now be
given a test. Your performance
on this test will determine your
future in this organization. I am
going to give you a pair of words
or phrases and you are to choose
the correct answer from each
pair and write it down.”

Read each set of choices a
couple of times.
Answer any questions by simply
saying “Write down the correct
answer.”
1. Red or green
2. Purple or blue
3. Horizontal or Vertical
4. Stars or planets
5. 5 or 50
6. Up in the Air or Down on
the ground
7. Metal or cloth

After you have finished reading
the various choices, select a
couple of participants and ask
them read their answers out. Let
them know how many they have
gotten correct.

Debrief
• Ask “How did you feel about
this performance test?”
(frustrated, confused, didn’t
make sense, not enough
information, unfair)
• Ask if anybody knows the
correct answers?

(The correct answers will relate
to the American Flag – Change
the choices based on your own
national flag)
Invite the participants to imagine
the national flag.
Quickly run through the choices
again – with the whole group
responding out loud.
DEBRIEF
What does this activity mean to
you?

KEY CONCEPT: A SHARED VISION
• We tend to get frustrated
when we don’t have the
complete picture.
• Our choices are easy when
everyone shares the same
vision.
• We need to share the
vision, the goal, the big picture
with people when we give
them tasks so that they can
make the right choices when
decisions arise.
• We can make the right choices
by seeing which options align
with the vision.

Business Application:
• Do you delegate tasks
without sharing the vision
of what this task will
accomplish?
• How do your
gifts, talents, skills and
abilities contribute the big
picture in your company?

Personal Application:
• Do you have a dream, a
goal for your life that
guides your important
decisions?
• Are your decisions decided
by the whim of the
moment or do they bring
you closer to your dream?

Spiritual Application:
• What is your place in
this world?
• Do you know the
Creator’s plan for your
life?

Relationships Application:
• Do you have problems
with communication
because you lack a
shared vision?
• Do you make decisions in
relationships based on
your vision of what
others need and want?
How would this change
the decisions you make?

Bible Studies based on the book of Jonah
Only. This youth camp curriculum was
designed to teach the basic truths
of obedience in addition to evangelism in the
context of a Biblical character. The advantage
of going through a book and looking at one
man's story is that we see not only the
teaching but the example. It becomes much
more real!

Camp Bible Study Series
“Who Do You Say that I AM?”

-> Tell me about “Who Do You Say that I AM?”
Jesus asked the disciples, "Who do others
say that I am?" It was easy to answer
because it required no conviction, no
commitment, and no risk. But then he
follows that question with another, "Who
do YOU say that I am?"

Live the Fruitful, Abundant Life
