One of the things that we teach
our participants is the concept of 'Family First'.  It's quite simple really -
family (or team) comes before everything else. The health of your team (physically, emotionally and spiritually) is more important than going out and
doing ministry, spending time alone, or enjoying the wonders of being in
another country.
 

 

This is an awesome theory, yet
when it comes down to it we struggle to actually do it. It's so much easier to
invest into people that we don't know rather than to deal with the issues of
the people that we are close with. How often do you drop everything for your
family or the people that you've made a lifelong relationship / commitment to?
 

 

My Grandpa Bob passed away on
Wednesday. I grew up spending every holiday and vacation at my grandparents'
house. I wasn't super close with my grandpa and hadn't seen him in a long time.
I wasn't planning on heading to California for the services... but Grandma wanted
to see me. That was all it took. I booked a ticket for 24 hours later.
 

 

I can 'work' from anywhere that I
can get internet access and cell service. And right now it's more important
that I invest the time into my family. I thank God for a community and employer
that not only teaches Family First but allows us to live it as well.
