I really have no words for how this last week of team leader (TL) training and orientation went. I came into the week not really expecting to bond with any other team leaders besides the ones going to Romania — but the Father had other plans. There were around 50 TLs that arrived Monday to the Alabama training site, representing many states and heading to 18 countries for the summer.
You’d think that with so many differences in personality and backgrounds, it would be hard to find common ground between us all. But it’s not. We have Someone uniting us all in a desire to reach the nations for His glory. When you think about that, you can easily see why we get so close (metaphorically AND physically!) in such a short time. I think that’s an aspect of serving alongside others that doesn’t often get recognized — and I’ve always felt like serving with others is a pressure-cooker environment for relationships. This can be positive or negative, and I’m happy to let y’all know it was all positive for us last week.
