THIS TRIP IS FOR YOU!!!
Team Principles (Please read carefully)
Hebrews 10:24-25
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
One of the most valuable aspects of your experience on a mission team will be learning to work together as a team. The following principles will help each of you make your teamwork a success.
1. Submit to leadership
All team members must make a serious effort to support, respect and follow their team leaders. Pray for your team leaders every day as they will make team decisions (many you will not even know about).
2. Maintain an attitude of service
Projects work well when everyone goes with the attitude of serving. Leaders and team members can serve as they encourage, support and affirm each other. Ask yourself in all situations, "What is left to do? Can I help finish the remaining tasks?"
3. Keep short accounts
This means making a commitment to working out our difficulties with each other. It is impossible to live with people day after day without stepping on each other's toes. In the long run, humility wins the day if you make things right by asking for forgiveness when you know you've done something to offend someone else.
4. Pray
Teams that experience a successful trip and spiritual unity pray as individuals, in small groups, and as a whole team. A famous preacher once said, "Prayer works so well in crisis, it's a wonder we do not implement it on a regular basis."
5. Attend scheduled/required meetings
I will attend all preparation meetings and complete all tasks assigned.
If I have a conflict that is unavoidable I will contact Edgar immediately.
I understand that if I miss meetings without talking to Edgar I may be asked to resign to the team.
Our meetings will be on Thursdays, Jan. 8, 16,23, 30, Feb. 6, 13, 20, 27, Mar. 6 and 8 & 9.
On Thursdays we will do the "YOUTH ALPHA".
We will also meet on some Sundays (dates to be confirmed; for team building) after church with pizza lunch.
I will help report about the trip in King Road Church.
I will discuss the commitment below with my parents/guardians.
Commitment
I, Cody Dueck, commit myself to the task of volunteer construction with Youth with a Mission, and serving at the Gleaners in CA, to the leadership of the group, to the well-being of the entire group and the fostering of a positive group spirit to the best of my ability. I understand that there ay be other activities besides just construction that I will be asked to help with/participate in; that there will be regular times of devotions and relfections on our involvement in this project; and that I will strive to maintain a flexible attitude.
I understand that the registration fee covers the travel insurance, the transportation, our stay in Mexico and meals while in Mexico. All other expenses (ie. food during the trip, souvenirs, etc) are my own responsibility.
