Team Internship

Team Missions Emphasis

• An emphasis on Team Missions helps the missionary team learn to work in an organized and efficient manner. In order to do so it is important that team members understand that their mission team, like any living organism, has its own distinctive life cycle.
• Team members learn to make decisions as a team, to conduct team meetings, to deal with conflicts on the team, to cope with the complex interrelationship between the mission team and the national church the team is establishing, and many other practical matters that will contribute to its effectiveness.
• One of the most important outgrowths of the internship is the production by team members of their own Team Strategy Document. Portions of this document deal with how the team will work together, defining procedures and expectations that will govern the team’s working relationships. This document functions as a team “constitution” that will allow them to work cooperatively and efficiently.
