Every week that we have a volunteer team, we intentionally take time on Friday to debrief them on how their week went. We ask them three questions which I'll list below. Why do we do this you ask? For some, they haven't even started to process the week and this is a first step in helping them think through what happened this week and how will they take this experience home with them.
During debriefing, we get a firsthand story of how God blew away their expectations, taught them something new, and is now challenging them to be different when they head home! How cool is that! I always point out that not everyone back home will understand what you're talking about when you tell them about NOLA. However, the team around you will understand and so keep these relationships going when you're back home!
My Prayer:
For TIU - that they will take the lessons and reminders God revealed to them home with them and DO something about them!
For myself - to reflect more often on what God is doing in my life and praise Him for it!
For you - that you would take time to reflect on this past week by asking these three questions:
1) What were your expectations for this week? Were they met? Why or why not?
2) What has God taught you this week?
3) What will you do in response to what God has taught you?
