A mission statement

When Donga Dan's Derelict Band first formed the members sat down to develop a set of aims. We considered our values and beliefs and the unifying understanding that together we held little of what the world around us would value as talent. After much discussion the group agreed on the following statements regarding the purpose of the band:

• Use our combined 'talents' to the glory of God.
  
• Prepare people for a message.
• Humour and spectacle second.
• Combine Christian and folk songs.
• Promote fellowship.

It's not bad to think that a group of persons, the oldest being 20, came up with a simple mission statement in the early 1970s. Well before the corporate world discovered the value of 'vision' and 'mission'.
