Team Retreat

Our Desert Triangle team is part of another larger team called the Oral Peoples Strategy Team. There are 2 other girls who are partners and then 1 guy who’s on his own. All of us live similarly to each other: spend most of the time in a village ministering to that people group and a couple of days a week at a home in a little bit bigger of a town. Each of the people groups we are working with is oral…meaning there is not really a written language and/or the vast majority of people do not read or write. This means that the best way to get our message across is through storying, which is a really awesome process that I’m learning more about.

Well our big team, along with our supervisor, had training in the capital all week, but first our supervisor took us on a team retreat. The place was amazing. We stayed in little huts that weren’t really huts (in the sense that they had electricity and running water). They were the cutest little bungalows! And there was a POOL! And it was all next to a LAKE! And everybody staying at this place ate all their meals in this cabana looking thing…it felt like something out of a movie, real tropical-like. The temperature was nice and cool and we had a great time of just hanging out, playing hilarious games, worshipping together, and eating “normal” food.
