Something Need Fixing
Experience the Faith Community through Vocation@Work
Join us at Vocation@Work (VW) CLC to explore the intersection of faith and work. It is a holistic discipleship program that set us out to live out our whole life of vocation and charism by faith in order to experience the faith community at the church, thus finding purpose and meaning of our life.
Welcome
Introducing the Vocation@Work Program Curriculum
Introduction
1. Something Needed Fixing: The Problem of Work
The Monday - Sunday Gap -The Dualistic Mindsets
​
​​2. The Big Picture of the Holistic Church:
The WholeLife Church theme:
A. Whole Soul - Whole Work - Whole Mission
The holistic Church is envisioned as a place where the 'Whole Soul'
are equipped for the 'Whole Work' of God through the mission of God
The Market friendly and the Kingdom Focus Church
B. The vision of the Gathered [equipping Church] and
the dispersed church / enlarged church [sending Church]
in minding the gap between Sunday and Monday gap.
C. Work in the 2 Kingdoms-the right Kingdom serving the left Kingdom
C. The Hypothesis of the Model
​
​
The Strategic Intent
​The Holistic Discipleship Program [The Framework]
​
The Strategic Intent of the Vocation@Work Program is to provide holistic discipleship
training in the area of work life. The goal of the program is faith and work integration
for the work and business, and the church. For when the church
is relevant to life, the church will grow and become fruitful.
The program is build through four essential questions- in a concentric circle in the order of:
​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?
Module 1
The Question of Being-
Bringing the Whole Soul to work
'The Who' reveals the identity of the whole soul at his work​
The shape of Faith intersecting with Human Work
in a Whole New Lens
​
(A)The Theological framework of the Work, through the order of salvation
where we are saved to serve. The program
anchors on the doctrine of the indwelling of God (In Christ)
through our Vocation and Charism to work
Module 2
​The Purpose of Why
'The Why' reveals the purpose and intention of the discipleship process.
​​
1. Work as the Metanarrative of Scripture-
Creation, Fall, Redemptive and Glorification.
The concept of image bearer,
The notion of priestly, kingly and prophetic work at play- the concept of sacred space through the creation mandate, the great commandment and great commission.
​
​
​
​
The Methodology of How
​
​​1. 'The Methodology of How' is done through 2 stages
i. The outlined of the curriculum- [Module 1-2]

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
