Missions Training, Part 2

Througout this semester our team has meet each Tuesday evening for a time of mentoring with Gary Green, the Latin America Missions Coordinator for Halbert Institute for Missions. Gary is a dear friend of ours and has been so encouraging and influential in our team's formation.

Our time together this semester has largely centered around genograms. Each individual on our team drew their genogram (similar to a family tree) and presented it to the team. There were times we laughed hysterically and times a box of kleenexes would have been handy. Our families, whether for good or bad, have been very formative in our lives. By learning more about each other's family of origin we are able to better understand each others personalities, values, and background.


Here's a shot of our most recent get together.


Also during our time together each Tuesday we have spent time in prayer, discussing pressing issues, and processing other training experiences. After each meeting it has practically become a tradition for us to go to dinner together. It has been a great semester so far in our team's development.
