I agree with the eighth bullet point, focusing on journal writtings on things that make us umcomfortable and insights we gain. I think it is important to record our experiences, that way it will be harder to forget what we've gone through. Also, with writting uncomfortable things, it takes you to flashbacks from the trips where you will sit and think, yes, that ws changing in my life. With journaling, it spends time focusing on what you have learned so far from your team and from the community, and that kind work is what you want report back, along with Spiritual insights on Bible refrences with them and how God is working in these people's hearts.
I also agree with the last bullet point, which is to humble ourselves to God and his servants , and towards those we are serving as their servants. This one is my favorite one, where humility is the bases of serving. If i can do so many things, but people se me as a cocky person, not wanting to talk with anybody, then they wouldn't be any purpose to the short term trip. Humility ties very closely to love, a very strong attribute of God, and, if we do not have the basis for serving (humility), we shouldn't be doing this trip. As a result, we can minister effectively, and please God, and the people we are in contact with.
Our individual and team preparation will be characterized by:
- Our humility
- How unified we are
- How we are an example role to this church
- our effectiveness/ how we perform
- How ready we are
