There is a moment of prayer (5:31-7:41). Robert Dale is introduced as the Faculty Lecturer (7:42-11:29). Dale begins his presentation by sharing the topic of his message, which is the importance of having a clear vision of ministry and how it applies to practical churchmanship (11:30-13:29). The first question he asks is “Who are the visionaries in the church?” (13:30-19:55). The second question he asks and answers is “What does a vision provide these leaders?” (19:56-29:50).

Dale shares how one’s dreams form the core of the message one passes along from generation to generation (35:11-39:21). There is a moment of prayer for the benediction (39:22-40:30).
