As a missionary team we are excited about some training and team-building we are doing together. The couple who organised our cross-training in Indiana in January are down to facilitate the process which started on Saturday and continues through tomorrow and Tuesday. Part of the course involves looking at our personal spiritual gifts and how those fit into the team. It was on Saturday that I realised how my different role has released me to be able to work more within my area of giftedness (see the post 'The music group' below). We're looking at areas in with we are strong and areas where we need each other and will also look at personality differences and be using tools to help us understand each other better and work more effectively as a team. I would say that we have a great team and we feel so well supported here. This training is a great opportunity to further develop what is already for us a great team to work in. Pray for continued unity in our team and that this training will be fruitful not only in our own lives but ultimately in seeing God's purposes fulfilled in us and His name glorified here in Mexico.
Because we were in training on Saturday we weren't able to be at the breakfast club. Thanks again for your prayers. It sounds like it went well with about 35 kids and 14 helpers. Now that different people have taken responsibility in different areas we want to maintain the momentum and continue to help develop them to be effective leaders. Our desire is to take less and less responsibility so that the club is eventually run by the members of the church and we can move on to help develop other ministries in La Loma or other UNIFAM churches. Pray for good leaders with a passion for the kids in the area and especially for people who can lead the club that we can train.
