It is really easy to gain momentum or have a spiritual "high" when you are put in a position that breeds those feelings. From the very first time the idea came out of taking a group of us that want to Juarez, Mexico and turning it into a small group or HomeTeam I will admit I was a bit skeptical. Let me tell you why:When people come together and have some type of "high" experience such as missions trips, conferences etc... They try to recreate or find that same feeling that they had in that particular circumstance.
We certainly had an INCREDIBLE time on the trip, but then it was time to come back and then face the real world. I wasn't sure how it was going to pan out. Everyone on the trip stated that they wanted to continue to feel the way they did down there, but year round. That is a hard thing to do...
Nearly impossible.
BUT, something truly incredible has come out of the whole deal. About two months back we thought we would give it a try. We would form a small group. However, there was one decision made that was the difference between failure and success... We did it OUR way.
Now this group is obviously a group of people with a heart for feeling uncomfortable, taking risk, giving to the poor and getting dirty if we had to. So knowing that, why would we take every week and just spend it just talking about those things. We would utilize those things instead! We spent several weeks just getting our roots planted and then from there are looking to do a service bit every other week. I couldn't be happier with this incredibly diverse and talented group of people of all ages, shapes and backgrounds. I look forward to spending lots of time serving with them
If you are looking for a HomeTeam, look on the moviechurch.com website and go to connect, then adults! Or check out OUR Hometeam at ServeHometeam.com
