Join a team already formed and operating in your place of work or community (e.g. church group, scouts, homeless shelter, other clubs/organizations). I chose to participate in a church function at a church I do not usually attend. The church, Life Bridge Inner City Ministries, provides meals, clothing, and spiritual leadership to the homeless. Every Monday evening they have prayer and dinner for anyone who wants to attend. The past couple of weeks I have volunteered my time to help out and serve. •• What is the purpose of the team? Who are the members in your team with whom you will interact during this course?
The purpose of this team is to provide food, clothing, and spiritual leadership to those who are less fortunate. The team is comprised of church members, missionaries, and volunteers from Savannah and the surrounding areas. The team has a duel leadership. It is lead by Pastor Johnathan Brown and his wife, Sharon Brown. Their co-pilots in this endeavor are another husband wife team who moved to Savannah about a year and a half ago, Brother Allen Osborne and Sister Donna Osborne. These are the only four steady members to this team. Everyone else comes and goes as they are needed. Pastor Johnathan and Brother Allen pick up and drop off all volunteers and clients. Together with their spouses they plan and prepare meals, sort through clothing, visit the despondent and ill, and provide emotional support and moral guidance to the people surrounding them. They make no judgments on anyone 's life style and offer moral and emotional support for those in need.
•• Do you already interact with these people? If so, do you typically act in a leadership role with these individuals or non-leadership role? What role are you taking in this assignment? (It is recommended you switch to a role you do not usually have. This will give you a different and more meaningful learning experience).
Until recently I did not have any interaction with the members
