Team Expectations

Vision
By sharing a common goal to serve God by loving Him and people, we wish to push beyond our borders to be Christ-like and obedient servants.

Goals
Team unification – To serve, we need to function as a single unit. To accomplish this we will encourage one another to pursue the interests of the team, not just our individual needs. Being non-judgmental – By keeping open minds, we can fully accomplish our tasks. We will accept each other without prejudice.

Structure
On the work site and ministry projects, we will work as a cohesive group. We will also take the initiative to encourage others on a daily basis.In an effort to stay unified, our team will meet each day to discuss, share and pray.

Accountability
We shall hold each other on the team accountable to this covenant and we shall measure our success in keeping this covenant by correcting each other according to biblical principles. Matthew 18:15-17 - If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector. Colossians 1:28 - We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. Responding without defensiveness when we are corrected, believing that other team members have our best interests and the best interest of the team in mind. Proverbs 27: 5, 6 - Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.

Financial Responsibility
I understand that I am financially responsible for my portion of the trip by either raising the funds through mission support letters or personally paying for the trip and that all funds deposited on my behalf are non-refundable.
