Team Building, why is it so important?

  The Bible refers to the church (the people who are the believers) as the Body of Christ. Although the body is one, it is composed of many members. 

   So why is team building so important? If Body of Christ is like a physical body when a member acts in discord  (stops functioning or attempts to change course against the rest of the body) the person becomes sick. Likewise when Christians do not work together they become spiritually sick- and worse become a stumbling block to others.

  We, as Christians are called to live in unity - to work together in a common mind, in a common spirit for a COMMON PURPOSE. The team's unity can either be a testimony to God's saving grace or their lack of unity a testimony to the sinfulness of man. 

  Team Building exercises seek to put the teams in a position where they learn how they can work together - in unity to fulfill a common purpose. 

Please pray for the NT that will going out this summer...-That they can learn to trust each other and work together for God's glory.
-That the unity displayed by the team is a testimony of God's redemption.
-That when difficulties arise that humility and love will prevail.
