Team Building 2

We just had the pleasure of a visit by Rick Love, who’s family will be joining us in January of ’08, and one of his elders and missions committee members. As our team forms, so has

our team strategy solidified via a consensus process involving our missionaries and supporting churches. I want to take the next few articles to introduce the main ideas that compose our team strategy to better communicate what we do and how we do it.

First we might ask why we need a team strategy. A team strategy is the ‘game plan’ that keeps the different members of a team on the same ‘page’. It details the methods that we use which have been derived from theological principles. Though theological principles remain constant, missiological methods need to remain flexible in order to cope with the changing realities of the world around us…

Thus our first questions concerning our strategy are “What is God doing among the Kaonde tribe of North Western Province, Zambia?” And then, How can we participate?”

Every mission team needs a little ‘Love’.

New Church Plant at Lunsala

Rita & I are fine and busy with studies. Today we had a class at a community called Lunsala. We found the folks there to be interested. This is one of our preaching points and the exciting thing is that the Konkwa church is helping to plant a church in that community. Our schedule is: studies on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday with our regular service on Sunday. Monday and Tuesday I guess is our weekend.
