The Strategic Intent
​The Holistic Discipleship Program [The Framework]
​
The Strategic Intent of the Vocation@Work Program is to provide discipleship
training in the area of work life. This is program that integrate faith and work.
For when the work life is engaged through faith, the church will be seen as relevant
and a relevant church will grow and become fruitful.
The program is build through four essential questions
​1. The question of being -'Who' is doing the work?​
2. The question of purpose - 'Why' are we are doing the work?
​3. The question of methodology - 'How' are we going to run the integration?
​​4. The question of the desired outcomes - 'What' is the results that will test the hypothesis?

Why Work Matters
The maid who sweeps her kitchen is doing the will of God just as much as the monk who prays – not because she may sing a Christian hymn as she sweeps but because God loves clean floors. The Christian shoemaker does his Christian duty not by putting little crosses on the shoes, but by making good shoes, because God is interested in good craftsmanship.
Luther
