Team Bonding

Today we had team meetings. The Australia team all agreed that we needed to spend some more time together getting to know each other in a deeper way. We decided to put aside intentional team time for just the four of us to talk. I really hope that we can find a bonding point and begin to relate to each other better. All four of us are so different in our personalities and our experiences.

This afternoon was spent doing camp like team building exercises with the South Africa team. I was expecting it to seem childish and pointless. But it actually was really fun. It has been unusually cold in Chicago and today the sun was warm and the sky was clear. It was fantastic to spend some time in the sunshine.

I pray that my team can make an effort to connect. Then when we get to Australia we can have a better understanding of where we all are in our lives and in our faith. I'm hoping that as time goes on we'll find common ground. I would appreciate prayer for my team's bonding time.
