Team Covenant 2015

Champfleuri Team Covenant 2015

Purpose

The purpose of our missions trip to Camp TED is to be intentional campers. We want to share our faith and make relationships, telling people about Jesus with our words and reflecting Him with our actions. We want to serve God, the French, and the missionaries at Champfleuri. We also desire to grow in our own faith and in relationship with each other, being genuine and sincere.

Goals

·       Challenge—We will leave our comfort zones knowing that God goes before us.

·       Selfless—We will persevere when we are tired or uncomfortable, putting others first. We will not take our tiredness out on others.

·       Enthusiasm—We will strive to maintain a positive attitude, even in difficult circumstances.

·       Patience—We will show patience with ourselves, others, and with the leaders at camp.

·       Accountability—We will call one another out in love when necessary. And we will receive correction with humility.

·       Respect—We will show respect toward other cultures and embrace speaking English compassionately with those who are not comfortable with the language.

·       Outward focused—We will not clump with other Americans and bilinguals. We will purposefully reach out to the other campers at every opportunity.

·       Prayer—We will pray alone and together, for the team, our leaders, the French campers and ourselves.

Unity

If something is on our minds we will voice it.

We will talk through frustrations or issues we have with others.

                  -First we will talk to the person directly.

                  -If the issue is not resolved, we will talk to our leaders.

We will listen to our leaders and pay attention to them, showing humility and willingness to learn and be challenged.

We will review this covenant before, during, and after our time at TED.

As I am able, through the power of the Holy Spirit, I will hold to this covenant and encourage others on the team to hold to it as well.

Jonah 2:9  But I, with shouts of grateful praise, will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good. I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.'
