I realize the following commitment is crucial to the effectiveness, quality, and positive expression of our mission together. .As a participating member of this mission trip, I agree to the following statements:
| √ |
Share the love of Christ in ways that make a Christian difference. |
| √ |
Lift up Jesus Christ with my thoughts, words, and actions. |
| √ |
Develop and maintain a servant’s attitude toward the people we serve, as well as, toward each team member. |
| √ |
Pray for and support my team leaders and their decisions. |
| √ |
Accept the ministry that is going on in the area where I am serving as well as the native approach to the mission, though it may differ from my approach. |
| √ |
Abstain from the use of alcohol, tobacco, illegal drugs, offensive clothing, and profanity from my departure until I return home. |
| √ |
Refrain from negativism and complaining. .Travel and ministry outside my church may present unexpected and even undesired circumstances. .However, my support and creativity will enhance the moment while complaining and negativism will destroy the moment. |
| |
| √ |
Refrain from gossip. .If it is not true, good, and positive, do not say it. |
| √ |
Remember the missionary is to learn and serve, not to teach and boss. .I will resist the temptation to inform our hosts about how I normally do things. |
| √ |
Remember that I am a servant of Jesus Christ called to be in ministry with the host church. |
| √ |
Serve as best I can so that both the purpose and the task of the mission will be accomplished. |
I understand and agree that in the event that my conduct is considered so unsatisfactory that it jeopardizes the success of the trip and mediation during the trip has failed to correct my behavior, Stephen Thomas or Georgiana Thomas or Candace Brown reserve the right to terminate my services in connection with this mission trip. .I will be financially responsible for the extra costs to return home.
