This entry is identical to the Daily Devotional Challenge that Team Kenya is using during their trip.  It is a study on the 10 Core Values of International Christian Center.

WE VALUE TEAM WORK

Scripture Meditations

Philippians 2:2-5
Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose. Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

Ephesians 4:16
He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.

Journal Questions

  1. What is the hardest part about being on this team?  What is the most rewarding thing about being a part of this team? 
  2. In what areas is your team “agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose?” Where are those things not happening? 
  3. What part of the Body of Christ are you?  What function are you serving on this team?  What functions are other people serving?  How can you help the other parts grow? 

Actions
Some suggestions for putting it into practice today:

  1. Talk with your teammates about how well your team is functioning.  Where do you fit together well?  What areas need some work?
  2. “Take an interest in others”- spend 5 minutes talking with another person about their story, their interests, their concerns, their dreams, what they love, etc.  Don’t talk about yourself. 
  3. Reflect on your team name with your teammates.  How has your team reflected that name during this trip?
