Today, I had the tiniest glimpse of an effective team...God's team...I love to worship, but this morning, I felt myself just being still, soaking in worship, and allowing myself to imagine what worship might be like one day. This morning of worship at the small FBI Church in Ethiopia was beautiful worship of just a few tribes and nations. While there was access to and availability of "tech creature comforts" such as speakers, a microphone, and an electric keyboard...they were so not necessary!
This army of worshipers worked as much like a well-oiled machine as any I've seen. And, the fact that THIS army was diverse, of different cultures, different languages, and was not at all concerned about technology issues. Whether the electric was on or off...keyboard worked or didn't...they did not miss a beat in their worship.
Their focus as a team was single-minded: worship the King of Kings!
What can we learn from this team to build more effective teams in our world?
- A common, focused goal
- A goal that everyone was aware of and working towards
- Support from one another to reach the common goal
- Shared leadership in reaching the goal
- Encouragement of and between one another to stay the course
