Team Building

KIDZ Mission team building lessons continued last night. We found three truths in the Genesis chapter 11 passage that we can apply to our mission team.

* The Tower of Babel story has a clear message that reminds us to check our motives
* Verse 6 – working together we can accomplish great things
* Verse 3 – We can improve our process

Some insights that were gained through the team building activity last night:
First try – Failure
* We failed without a plan and without communication
Second try – Some success after the teams developed a plan
* The team communicated and had a to work together in unison
* We were successful after everyone understood the language (instructions) that were being given during the activity
* Only one individual was giving instructions during the activity
Third try – Success! Improved progress
* Improved our communications plan and everyone worked together even better.

Reminder that Sunday (05.16.10) is our “pot luck” lunch after church. We will have more trip details, packing lists, contact information for parents, review code of conduct, fellowship, etc. See you there.
