Team Meeting - Team Development & Spiritual Preparation – “Going as One as Hands and Feet" Required
Potluck lunch, please bring a dish to pass!
At this meeting, we will work on team unity, spiritual disciplines, and servant leadership. We want to strengthen our team bonds and clarify roles on the trip. We will have some team-building exercises, a devotion on Philippians 2:3-4 and will take time to pray over each other! We will also review tangible things such as travel details and packing lists.
We will go over a detailed itinerary and plan what we’ll do while we’re there, but with the why in mind. Outline the week in Guatemala. Assign leadership for daily devotions and activity team leaders. Review safety, cultural sensitivity, money handling, and photography guidelines. Group prayer for God’s protection and guidance.
