God 20 00:01:30.819 --> 00:01:34.370 used some of the things that we are teaching in this podcast and some of 21 00:01:34.409 --> 00:01:38.769 the encouragement that we give to encourage you and help you take your ministry to 22 00:01:38.849 --> 00:01:42.250 the next level or whatever. Maybe you've got a story. I know I 23 00:01:42.329 --> 00:01:45.890 think I've shared a couple of times. We do the podcast about ambulances and 24 00:01:46.010 --> 00:01:49.400 what to do when they show up at the abortion center and we get I 25 00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.760 got like two different emails of people saying that podcast was a tremendous blessing because 26 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.400 they just had that experience the day I think one of them. One person 27 00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.879 said they just listen to the podcast and it happened the very next day. 28 00:02:00.709 --> 00:02:07.069 So anyway, we try to cover subjects that we have been subjects we've dealt 29 00:02:07.069 --> 00:02:10.229 with and we hope that they're blessing to you. But if you've got other 30 00:02:10.509 --> 00:02:14.830 said subjects you want us to cover, suggestions, we'd love to hear those. 31 00:02:14.909 --> 00:02:21.060 So what's our subject today, Vicky? So today we're talking about teams, 32 00:02:21.740 --> 00:02:24.580 team leaders and even how do you develop teams? How do you keep 33 00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:29.379 teams? What are the things you do with a team once you have them? 34 00:02:29.419 --> 00:02:32.129 Yeah, and wow, that's a specific for us. Two teams on 35 00:02:32.250 --> 00:02:37.370 a Sidebok in front of an abortion center. I really think the principles are 36 00:02:37.490 --> 00:02:43.169 true really for any team in any kind of ministry. Yeah, yeah, 37 00:02:43.810 --> 00:02:46.960 one of the things that I mentioned to you before we started recording this podcast 38 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.560 is this dynamic, like we're going to cover some practical stuff about building teams 39 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.280 and what to look for and leads for your team teams and things like that, 40 00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.469 but you've also got to have vision yourself, and I'm speaking specifically to 41 00:03:02.550 --> 00:03:07.389 people who maybe not part of love life, because we help cast vision for 42 00:03:07.469 --> 00:03:10.349 this, for building a team, and hopefully, if you're part of love 43 00:03:10.469 --> 00:03:15.379 life, you have you have vision for that, for it not being just 44 00:03:15.620 --> 00:03:20.180 you and just your family serving out there, but it be a whole team 45 00:03:20.860 --> 00:03:23.699 for those who are not part of love life on, encourage you and just 46 00:03:23.580 --> 00:03:29.530 help cast some vision for you as far as building teams, because I know 47 00:03:30.210 --> 00:03:31.610 there could be this mentality of like, well, me and my family. 48 00:03:31.889 --> 00:03:35.849 You know, this is kind of like the remnant right, and we're the 49 00:03:35.889 --> 00:03:39.169 only ones doing this ministry and you know, I don't know if anybody else 50 00:03:39.210 --> 00:03:42.719 wants to even come along and help us, and we can almost have kind 51 00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.599 of a sour mentality, like nobody else would have, like an Elijah mentality, 52 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.280 like I'm the only one and we're the only family in our city that's 53 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:53.199 doing this stuff. And I get that. I get my mean listen, 54 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.150 I was out a long time at the La Treb abortion center, where it's 55 00:03:55.189 --> 00:03:58.870 very few people out there and they're killing a lot of babies, and it 56 00:03:58.949 --> 00:04:01.150 was very heavy and I know how we can kind of get in the Elijah 57 00:04:01.189 --> 00:04:04.110 mentality, like I'm the only one. But I'm telling you, there are 58 00:04:04.229 --> 00:04:09.830 people in your city that are praying and asking God how they can get involved 59 00:04:10.099 --> 00:04:15.699 in bringing the Gospel to people who need the gospel and standing against the murdered 60 00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:19.699 children in the womb. There are people that God is working on their hearts 61 00:04:19.740 --> 00:04:24.370 and all they need to hear is a call to action in a way that 62 00:04:24.449 --> 00:04:27.569 they can get plugged in and you can start to build a team. But 63 00:04:28.410 --> 00:04:30.529 if you don't have vision for it and if you want to keep it as 64 00:04:30.689 --> 00:04:33.370 us for and no more. Well, that's between you and the Lord, 65 00:04:33.370 --> 00:04:38.129 but I'm telling you, God wants to raise up a team and God doesn't 66 00:04:38.129 --> 00:04:42.839 want it just to be you out there, but God wants you to build 67 00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:46.720 a team and to let him through you train people and listen. That's one 68 00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.439 of the things, one of the blessings, I think, that comes from 69 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:55.110 being connected to an organization like love life and some other organizations out there is 70 00:04:55.269 --> 00:04:58.550 that you have like a training model. But as you're out there, you 71 00:04:58.870 --> 00:05:01.589 guys, you can put together training yourself. You can train people and you 72 00:05:01.670 --> 00:05:09.379 know that's part of building a team is training people and helping them fill equipped 73 00:05:09.379 --> 00:05:13.379 to be out there and also identifying people who can be leaders, because you 74 00:05:13.420 --> 00:05:15.579 can't just have a team that's out there with new leadership, and you know, 75 00:05:15.699 --> 00:05:18.740 the reality is not all of us can be out there every day. 76 00:05:19.779 --> 00:05:24.050 So I mean we've got even with in Love Life, we've got homeschool moms 77 00:05:24.290 --> 00:05:29.930 that are building teams and their leveraging connections that they have and they're identifying people 78 00:05:29.970 --> 00:05:33.449 that can be leaders and training those people or bringing those people through our training 79 00:05:33.689 --> 00:05:36.680 to help get them trained up to actually lead so that they don't have to 80 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:41.800 do all the leadership and all the leading of each team. And so yeaway. 81 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.519 That's a little bit of encouragement for you and just help you that are 82 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:47.319 listening to get some vision for building teams and it not being just you, 83 00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:53.350 but it being a whole army of people, because God, God as people 84 00:05:53.389 --> 00:05:56.189 in your city, like he told Elijah. Right, it's not just you, 85 00:05:56.350 --> 00:06:00.230 but I got seven thou others. God's got people in your city who 86 00:06:00.269 --> 00:06:04.660 who he's calling to ministry, and all they have to do is hear the 87 00:06:04.740 --> 00:06:09.259 call and see that there's a pathway for them to get plugged in and get 88 00:06:09.459 --> 00:06:12.620 to be a part of a team and their feet will be on that sidewalk 89 00:06:12.660 --> 00:06:15.660 and they'll be a blessing to you if you have vision for building a team 90 00:06:15.660 --> 00:06:19.490 right. And it's obviously biblical. Jesus didn't send us out one by one. 91 00:06:19.490 --> 00:06:21.610 Yeah, you know, we could have covered a lot more ground that 92 00:06:21.689 --> 00:06:27.970 way. Yeah, that's but but we were sent out in minimum to back 93 00:06:28.050 --> 00:06:31.569 toos in. And as I was thinking through this, this whole subject, 94 00:06:31.610 --> 00:06:39.199 I was trying to think of how could I summarize the major value of what 95 00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:44.319 a team provides for each other, and I thought of these four main things, 96 00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:46.079 and there's probably many more, but these are the main things. Teams 97 00:06:46.430 --> 00:06:50.870 encourage and uplift each other, you know, so that you don't feel all 98 00:06:50.910 --> 00:06:58.509 alone, like like in your analogy Alisha did. They their skills compliment each 99 00:06:58.589 --> 00:07:01.899 other, and probably one of the most famous passages talking about that is talking 100 00:07:01.939 --> 00:07:06.740 about the body of believers as a body and how we need to work together 101 00:07:08.019 --> 00:07:12.379 because we all have different parts and different skills. So we complement each other. 102 00:07:14.259 --> 00:07:17.410 We protect each other, you know, we always have two as a 103 00:07:17.610 --> 00:07:24.209 minimum, because there's one to run for help, to call for help or 104 00:07:24.250 --> 00:07:28.329 to be a witness. So we protect each other. And then the final 105 00:07:28.410 --> 00:07:32.120 one is that we correct and refine each other. Yeah, you know, 106 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:38.160 when you're when you're alone, ranger, when you're an island, you can 107 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:45.470 get you can get pretty thick into your own sin or flaws and not recognize 108 00:07:45.509 --> 00:07:48.149 them. Yeah, but as soon as you have another person there alongside you, 109 00:07:49.589 --> 00:07:53.829 they'll point it out. Yeah, probably people are pretty quick to point 110 00:07:53.829 --> 00:07:57.230 out flaws in others. So yeah, so it helps you to grow, 111 00:07:57.509 --> 00:08:01.139 it helps to correct and make you better and refine each other. Yeah, 112 00:08:01.339 --> 00:08:07.060 yeah, I agree. Yeah. So, so we we have to have 113 00:08:07.300 --> 00:08:13.649 teams in Charlotte and we need a lot of teams because there's three different active 114 00:08:13.649 --> 00:08:22.449 abortion centers right now and busy abortion centers and and so we are always working 115 00:08:22.649 --> 00:08:28.040 on building teams and bringing in, especially since love life came along, really 116 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:33.600 utilizing the church. Yeah, to bring in more more team members. And 117 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:39.519 this podcast really has evolved out of some of the struggles that we face them 118 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.350 we still face. So, you know, team team members come and go. 119 00:08:41.590 --> 00:08:46.950 So teams can be big one day and then you lose some of them, 120 00:08:46.990 --> 00:08:52.149 yeah, and and they're smaller than next day. So so you know, 121 00:08:52.350 --> 00:09:00.259 I think one of the biggest causes of team members that you have leaving 122 00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:05.299 is when a team member feels under utilize, yeah, or not not important, 123 00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:09.490 not valuable, not needed, and Paul of course, addresses that so 124 00:09:09.730 --> 00:09:15.970 well again in that analogy of the body, and that was the main verse 125 00:09:16.490 --> 00:09:20.009 or Ver. It's actually a set of versus and First Corinthians twelve that I 126 00:09:20.409 --> 00:09:26.480 had written down helping me to think about what a team does and how a 127 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.240 team works and how a team can best be, I don't know, put 128 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:37.590 together. Yeah, so we're probably all familiar, most of us probably with 129 00:09:37.789 --> 00:09:43.710 those versus. Yeah, but you want you want me to go through some 130 00:09:43.870 --> 00:09:46.350 of that? Yeah, yeah, if you want to, that'd be great. 131 00:09:48.389 --> 00:09:52.740 So, so this is again. First Corinthians twelve and it's versus twelve, 132 00:09:52.779 --> 00:09:56.620 and then fourteen to and twenty seven. Is the whole passage I wrote 133 00:09:56.659 --> 00:09:58.820 down, but you stop me at any point when you feel like okay, 134 00:09:58.899 --> 00:10:01.259 that that's enough. It's a long Ama, I think really, you know, 135 00:10:01.940 --> 00:10:03.860 people get the point from this. I think just a couple of verses 136 00:10:03.899 --> 00:10:07.690 out of that. But basically it's like the body of Christ working together. 137 00:10:07.730 --> 00:10:11.850 So I'll let you far away and I'll stop you if it's okay. For 138 00:10:11.970 --> 00:10:15.490 even as the body is one and yet has many members, all the members 139 00:10:15.529 --> 00:10:18.490 of the body, though they they are many, are one body, and 140 00:10:18.649 --> 00:10:20.919 so also is Christ, for the body is not one member but many. 141 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:24.840 If the foot says, because I am not a hand, I am not 142 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.440 a part of the body, it is not, for this reason anytheless a 143 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.000 part of the body. And if the ear says, because I am not 144 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.039 an eye, I am not a part of the body, it is not 145 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.509 for this reason any the less a part of the body. If the whole 146 00:10:37.909 --> 00:10:43.190 body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were 147 00:10:43.269 --> 00:10:46.190 hearing. Where would the sense of smell be? And then the last first 148 00:10:46.190 --> 00:10:50.379 I think I'll read. But now God has placed the members, each one 149 00:10:50.460 --> 00:10:54.700 of them, in the body, just as he desired. If they if 150 00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:56.940 they were all one member, where would the body be? Yeah, and 151 00:10:58.059 --> 00:11:05.289 I actually have faced that directly this week on on the sidewalk, because there's 152 00:11:05.330 --> 00:11:11.690 a favorite spot on the sidewalk because it's where the action happens and and I 153 00:11:11.970 --> 00:11:18.210 have noticed especially with new members, God bless them, there's nothing malicious and 154 00:11:18.330 --> 00:11:24.639 what they're doing, but they gravitate towards that busy, action packed spot. 155 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:30.000 Yeah, meanwhile, the rest of the sidewalk, and there are critical roles 156 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.710 that we need to happen along that whole sidewalk, which we're going to go 157 00:11:33.830 --> 00:11:39.389 into a little bit. They were being neglected and I have issues with my 158 00:11:39.470 --> 00:11:43.309 vocal court so that it's really hard for me to call out for any length 159 00:11:43.350 --> 00:11:48.539 of time. I lose my voice, and I was actually training someone when 160 00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:52.820 this particular incident happened, so I wasn't even really supposed to be calling out, 161 00:11:52.899 --> 00:11:58.340 but I had kind of been deserted by the rest of the team to 162 00:11:58.259 --> 00:12:03.009 to where there was a lot of action going on. There was some significant 163 00:12:03.009 --> 00:12:05.610 things happening down at that, you know, really busy part of the sidewalk 164 00:12:07.330 --> 00:12:11.009 and I was seeing moms no one else was seeing and I was, of 165 00:12:11.169 --> 00:12:16.480 course calling out to those moms and my voice was getting more and more ragged. 166 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.600 So I think that's a very, really good example of exactly what we're 167 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:26.799 talking about. All, all of our team wanted to be that really valuable, 168 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.149 obviously valuable part of the body where the action was taking place. Meanwhile 169 00:12:31.190 --> 00:12:37.789 a whole section of the sidewalk was was not being covered and there was one 170 00:12:37.830 --> 00:12:41.629 very weak voiced person trying to do what I really could not do very well. 171 00:12:43.629 --> 00:12:50.179 So the whole team is necessary and and it's very important that the whole 172 00:12:50.299 --> 00:12:56.740 team think of themselves almost as an army, like you said. And in 173 00:12:56.940 --> 00:13:01.610 an army not everyone is a foot soldier, right, not everyone. Everyone 174 00:13:01.769 --> 00:13:07.690 has a specific role, a specific weapon even, and and when you desert 175 00:13:07.730 --> 00:13:13.559 your post, there's a section of the battle that's left uncovered. Yeah, 176 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:16.080 yeah, and that's a good analogy and it's a good reason again why we 177 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:22.519 need teams and we need to help develop people into certain roles in teams. 178 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.429 And so I don't know if this is the appropriate time to to mention this. 179 00:13:26.950 --> 00:13:30.909 So I'll mention it and you cut me off if it's too early and 180 00:13:30.950 --> 00:13:33.710 kind of the flow of things in the article you written here. Okay, 181 00:13:33.230 --> 00:13:37.350 but one of the things I encourage our missionaries to do that are trying to 182 00:13:37.389 --> 00:13:41.980 build sidewalk teams is basically you don't really know, because it's good to know 183 00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:46.100 how many people you need for a team. Right, that's a good start. 184 00:13:46.259 --> 00:13:50.620 Yeah, right, so you don't really know how many people you need 185 00:13:50.659 --> 00:13:54.100 until you know where you need people. Right. So if you're looking at 186 00:13:54.139 --> 00:13:58.409 the sidewalk, for example, in like it Latrobe, in Charlotte, we've 187 00:13:58.450 --> 00:14:03.929 got what we've identified as priority positions, like, if only had one person, 188 00:14:03.009 --> 00:14:05.490 where would I put that person? That would be my priority position. 189 00:14:05.490 --> 00:14:09.799 I'd be priority position number one. If I only had one person, where 190 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:15.159 would I put them? and to me it would be at the driveway handing 191 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.720 out literature, because at that spot you can actually call out and hand out 192 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.159 literature. Now we go out to by two, so it's very rare that 193 00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:26.190 there's just one person out there by themselves. So where is my next priority 194 00:14:26.230 --> 00:14:30.590 position? Number Two? That would be on that sidewalk strip, calling out 195 00:14:30.590 --> 00:14:33.789 as people are pulling into the parking lot, the sidewalk strip directly in front 196 00:14:33.789 --> 00:14:37.429 of the abortion center. That'd be priority position number two. Priority Position Number 197 00:14:37.549 --> 00:14:41.659 three would be down at the call center driveway. So, though I'm not 198 00:14:41.700 --> 00:14:46.019 going to be able to go through all you guys that are listening and and 199 00:14:46.940 --> 00:14:48.500 tell you where your party position should be, I think you need to be 200 00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:52.610 looking at where the places that are most conducive to interactions with the moms going 201 00:14:52.649 --> 00:14:58.009 into the abortion center, that you can place people. And so you're thinking 202 00:14:58.129 --> 00:15:01.289 where can I make the most impact in order of priority, essentially, yeah, 203 00:15:01.769 --> 00:15:05.649 and so, yeah, you've identified what our three top ones are and 204 00:15:05.850 --> 00:15:11.399 and this is perfect. It's actually what you're saying is exactly the right point 205 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.639 in this article. Okay, but but even in any ministry team, I 206 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.919 think that that certainly applies. Prioritized where you make the most impact and if 207 00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.950 you've got a small team, which is an inevitably going to happen at times, 208 00:15:24.350 --> 00:15:28.309 you know exactly where to put your people, but be prepared if you 209 00:15:28.309 --> 00:15:33.269 have a larger team. Going back to we don't want our team members, 210 00:15:33.350 --> 00:15:37.059 any of them, to feel discouraged or feel I'm just I'm just a little 211 00:15:37.179 --> 00:15:39.860 toe. I don't need to be. You know, the whole leg is 212 00:15:39.980 --> 00:15:43.299 here. I'm just a little toe. No, we need to know where 213 00:15:43.340 --> 00:15:46.059 we can place that little toe so that they know that they're a critical part 214 00:15:46.059 --> 00:15:48.179 of a team. Yeah, yeah, I think you know, I'm a 215 00:15:48.179 --> 00:15:52.370 visual person. I think many people are visual. It helps you. We 216 00:15:52.409 --> 00:15:54.850 can, we can explain things with words and all of that, but I 217 00:15:54.970 --> 00:16:02.090 think an image can really help people. So in your and we talked about 218 00:16:02.169 --> 00:16:03.679 this and I think I don't know if we'll talk about this today, we've 219 00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:08.240 talked about in the past how we train people as rather than just using some 220 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.039 videos to train them right away, we do what we call shadowing. While 221 00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:18.480 somebody that it's interested, that comes out that they want to volunteer but they 222 00:16:18.590 --> 00:16:21.029 really don't know the lay of the land. We have them shadow before we 223 00:16:21.190 --> 00:16:25.230 send them like aficial love life training, and when they're shadowing is when we 224 00:16:25.269 --> 00:16:27.830 kind of give them the lay of the land. And I think having a 225 00:16:27.990 --> 00:16:33.580 visual of I mean what I've done is do a screen shot of a Google 226 00:16:33.659 --> 00:16:37.220 map and you can actually go into Google maps and you can put icons and 227 00:16:37.299 --> 00:16:41.100 stuff. You can make your own custom map. But you mean you can 228 00:16:41.179 --> 00:16:44.500 do it many different ways. There's ways to design stuff. You can use 229 00:16:44.620 --> 00:16:48.889 something called canva where you can design stuff and guys can get creative organ you 230 00:16:48.929 --> 00:16:52.850 can do a screenshot of a Google map where the abortion center is and mark 231 00:16:52.889 --> 00:16:56.490 it up, you know, digitally, and just show people here's here's priority 232 00:16:56.529 --> 00:17:00.850 positions to give people a vision for. If I have a team of three 233 00:17:00.929 --> 00:17:04.720 people, here's where person number one, two and three would stand and give 234 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:10.759 people a visual and cast vision for those who would be on your team and 235 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:14.799 it helps them really and if you can really focus on here's what the driveway 236 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.589 position, here's what this person does, and cast vision for here's what the 237 00:17:18.789 --> 00:17:22.589 person calling out on the sidew here's what they do and here's why that's so 238 00:17:22.710 --> 00:17:26.269 important. And here's why. You know we have somebody here holding a sign. 239 00:17:26.390 --> 00:17:29.269 This is why it's so important. Maybe it's abortion Perry reversal sign or 240 00:17:29.309 --> 00:17:32.059 whatever it is. But if you can get people the visual you can kind 241 00:17:32.099 --> 00:17:36.660 of show them the lay of the land, party positions. Here's where we're 242 00:17:36.660 --> 00:17:38.539 trying to build a team. It helps you to figure out, okay, 243 00:17:38.579 --> 00:17:41.460 what does a team look like for you? How many people do you need 244 00:17:41.500 --> 00:17:48.289 to be aiming for to have out there on the Monday morning or Tuesday afternoon 245 00:17:48.369 --> 00:17:52.809 or whatever that time period is, and it helps you to again have something 246 00:17:52.849 --> 00:17:56.210 to aim at and then also helps those people who would be volunteers to kind 247 00:17:56.210 --> 00:17:59.839 of get a visual for what you're looking for. And I will say to 248 00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.920 this is kind of like not a rabbit trail, but also something that we've 249 00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:07.960 seen with experience and it's why we kind of model things the way that we 250 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:14.950 do in Charlotte. Is We've seen as far as volunteers are concerned, again, 251 00:18:15.109 --> 00:18:18.390 a volunteer is you could be a retired person, it can be at 252 00:18:18.390 --> 00:18:21.789 homeschool mom, it could be you can be anybody, right, right. 253 00:18:21.910 --> 00:18:25.029 So we got to consider that people have lives and they got stuff going on. 254 00:18:26.390 --> 00:18:29.299 Really, about three to four hours is as much as you can ask 255 00:18:29.460 --> 00:18:33.099 from a volunteer and it's about as much as a person can handle just being 256 00:18:33.180 --> 00:18:37.500 out there because again, depending on the scenario, the the spiritual warfare, 257 00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:40.539 it can be pretty intense, specially if you got pro boards. So we 258 00:18:40.700 --> 00:18:45.569 ask from nine to twelve is what we have. That's what we call our 259 00:18:45.690 --> 00:18:48.170 morning team, and then from twelve to three would be our afternoon team. 260 00:18:48.170 --> 00:18:52.329 At latrobe, at the will trebe abortion center. I'm right about that. 261 00:18:52.450 --> 00:18:56.839 If you hadn't trained correct change that since yeah, okay. And so what 262 00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.480 do you got then? Monday you really need two teams, right, if 263 00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.759 you want to cover the morning shift in the afternoon shift, you really need 264 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.160 two separate teams. And so what does it look like? What does the 265 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:14.309 team look like on Monday morning? Probably a core team is really three people. 266 00:19:14.630 --> 00:19:18.190 Right. That's a core team, but a real good team would be 267 00:19:18.309 --> 00:19:19.710 five people, I think, and then you can build out from there. 268 00:19:21.349 --> 00:19:26.579 Afternoon you really need less people because you're not doing you don't have people going 269 00:19:26.660 --> 00:19:29.900 on the mobiultra sound unit and stuff normally in the afternoon it because it's not 270 00:19:30.019 --> 00:19:33.660 out there. So you've got a counselor sometimes on the mornings you'll have a 271 00:19:33.740 --> 00:19:37.380 counselor would be tied up on the mobile unit ministering to a mom and that 272 00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:41.809 effectively takes a person off the sidewalk. So in the afternoon it's a little 273 00:19:42.690 --> 00:19:48.569 probably a perfect team size would be three people in afternoon. Anyway, I'm 274 00:19:48.569 --> 00:19:52.490 just trying to help you guys understand and again I'm just giving you some generalizations 275 00:19:52.690 --> 00:19:55.880 and give you some of our experience to help you understand kind of how you 276 00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.160 could organize your team, and that's something that you're going to have to figure 277 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.359 out really as far as what a team looks like. How many people are 278 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:07.869 the best number for a team, but it does again help you. Know, 279 00:20:07.990 --> 00:20:11.230 you aim at nothing and you hit it every time. Right. You 280 00:20:11.230 --> 00:20:11.990 want to have an aim, you won't have a goal. Here's what it 281 00:20:12.069 --> 00:20:15.230 looks like if I build a team here at this abortion center. Here's what 282 00:20:15.309 --> 00:20:18.309 it's going to look like, from nine to twelve, from twelve to three, 283 00:20:18.990 --> 00:20:22.220 and then you can start again as people come to the training pathway. 284 00:20:22.339 --> 00:20:27.299 However you train them, you can plug them into those different positions in those 285 00:20:27.339 --> 00:20:32.500 different days and hours that you need them. Yeah, and just to kind 286 00:20:32.500 --> 00:20:36.930 of give you an idea, if I have we've already talked about if I 287 00:20:36.930 --> 00:20:38.089 have three people, where those three people are going to be. If I 288 00:20:38.250 --> 00:20:41.250 have four people, I'm going to put one person further up the road just 289 00:20:41.569 --> 00:20:45.529 try and stop cars from coming in. If I have five, I'm going 290 00:20:45.529 --> 00:20:48.009 to have people at either end of the road because if it's a loop. 291 00:20:48.289 --> 00:20:51.000 If I have more than that, I'm going to start setting people up with 292 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:53.960 signs. Yeah, and and so that just gives you an idea and that 293 00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:56.799 you can if I have even more than that, I'm going to put people 294 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:03.160 across the street just truly devoted just to prayer. Yeah, so I can 295 00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.589 have any number of people and and I know I can make them feel because 296 00:21:07.589 --> 00:21:11.029 it's true, I can. They will be important, they will be valuable 297 00:21:11.150 --> 00:21:14.869 and they'll have a specific roll. And I did just want to make a 298 00:21:14.910 --> 00:21:18.980 point about specific roles, because there is a danger, and I differ a 299 00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:23.019 little from this body analogy in this, there is a danger if someone's the 300 00:21:23.180 --> 00:21:26.819 little toe over and over and over again for five years. Yeah, that 301 00:21:27.259 --> 00:21:33.690 that. I think it is very useful and helpful to especially when people are 302 00:21:33.730 --> 00:21:37.450 training and learning, to rotate them and make sure that they don't get in 303 00:21:37.529 --> 00:21:41.049 a rout, that they have a chance to do all of the rolls there. 304 00:21:41.289 --> 00:21:48.200 They will kind of naturally tend towards certain roles once they've been out there 305 00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:51.039 a while. I there are some people we call them car magnets. They 306 00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:55.400 just I don't know what it is about them, but they stop cars very 307 00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:59.119 easily and they want to be up the road where they're able to stop cars 308 00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:02.309 before they even get to the abortion center. Yeah, but I don't want 309 00:22:02.349 --> 00:22:07.630 that to be the only position they have ever done, right, because what 310 00:22:07.750 --> 00:22:11.150 if they're only one of two team members, for example, one day and 311 00:22:11.309 --> 00:22:15.349 they've got to cover a position they've never covered? Yeah, that's a really 312 00:22:15.470 --> 00:22:18.500 critical position. So I think early on especially and when people are training, 313 00:22:18.619 --> 00:22:22.500 it is very important to have them try out a lot of different positions, 314 00:22:22.539 --> 00:22:26.779 yeah, and get a feel for the skills that are involved in each of 315 00:22:26.859 --> 00:22:33.210 those different posts. Yeah. Yeah, also, I think as leaders we 316 00:22:33.369 --> 00:22:37.329 need to be careful. I mean certainly we've got to consider people's disposition. 317 00:22:37.609 --> 00:22:41.609 There's some people that just are not comfortable calling out right away. Right. 318 00:22:41.769 --> 00:22:45.240 There are some people that maybe are comfortable doing it and maybe don't need to 319 00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:48.720 do it. They need to just calm down a little bit and take it 320 00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.759 all in, because they'll start calling out right away and calling out things that 321 00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:56.880 are just not helpful or maybe whatever. But we have to use wisdom. 322 00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:03.549 But also we we've got to consider people's sensitivities and there their level of comfort 323 00:23:03.630 --> 00:23:07.430 with certain things. But we've got also be willing to push people out of 324 00:23:07.470 --> 00:23:10.309 their comfort zone. You know, I've had people that say, you know, 325 00:23:10.470 --> 00:23:14.579 I'm not comfortable calling out and and I know you do this too well, 326 00:23:14.980 --> 00:23:18.779 you don't have to call out for ten minutes, maybe just five seconds. 327 00:23:19.059 --> 00:23:22.259 Just say this, Mommy, your baby is precious. And so you're 328 00:23:22.299 --> 00:23:26.690 training them and you're helping them get out of their comfort zone. And it's 329 00:23:26.730 --> 00:23:30.650 kind of like, from the feedback I've gotten, once you put some to 330 00:23:30.849 --> 00:23:36.009 push somebody o their comforts on in a gracious way, it's almost like refreshing 331 00:23:36.089 --> 00:23:38.369 for them, like Oh, I can do this, and they're encouraged by 332 00:23:38.450 --> 00:23:44.720 it, so that you know, somebody who maybe would primarily functions as a 333 00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:48.440 little toe was actually being pushed out of their comfort zone to function as an 334 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:53.720 eye when needed, or whatever exactly to go with that analogy. But there 335 00:23:53.799 --> 00:24:00.710 are certain people that have certain giftings and I think we're unwise not to utilize 336 00:24:00.829 --> 00:24:04.710 that right. So somebody has a real, real gifting with one on one 337 00:24:04.789 --> 00:24:10.180 conversations and handing out literature and people stop for them like crazy. I think 338 00:24:10.579 --> 00:24:15.019 we'd be silly to every day put them at the driveway or put them not 339 00:24:15.140 --> 00:24:18.059 at the driveway, but put them calling out whenever they're really good, at 340 00:24:18.059 --> 00:24:21.019 the driveway. But I do think that we need to push them out of 341 00:24:21.059 --> 00:24:23.289 their cover zone and have them doing some of the calling out to so again, 342 00:24:23.369 --> 00:24:29.450 you just have to use wisdom and God will give you direction and wisdom 343 00:24:29.529 --> 00:24:33.289 for that, and also conversations with the people. Talk to the people who 344 00:24:33.329 --> 00:24:37.049 you're trying to lead and the people that on the teams you're trying to build. 345 00:24:37.049 --> 00:24:40.880 Ask them where they're comfortable and if they're willing to get uncomfortable and do 346 00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:44.519 some things like calling out or handing out literature or whatever it might be. 347 00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.200 At the end of the day, you need people that are that are willing 348 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:52.319 and able to do whatever is necessary in the moment. And again, at 349 00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:55.549 the end of the day we're dealing with the murder of children, and so 350 00:24:56.029 --> 00:24:57.950 push people outside of their comfort zone to speak out for those that can't s 351 00:24:57.950 --> 00:25:03.549 speak for themselves was certainly appropriate. It is and sometimes they discover that they 352 00:25:03.910 --> 00:25:08.779 actually thought their skill was just being a car magnet when indeed they have a 353 00:25:08.940 --> 00:25:14.059 real gift at calling out to the MOM's and you don't discover that unless you've 354 00:25:14.099 --> 00:25:17.900 given it a try. Yeah, so, but you know, we've kind 355 00:25:17.900 --> 00:25:22.009 of alluded to the fact that for the smooth running of a team, we 356 00:25:22.130 --> 00:25:27.609 quickly discovered we could not be the ones in charge the the whoever is the 357 00:25:27.730 --> 00:25:32.009 person that kind of is in charge of all the volunteers and all the teams. 358 00:25:32.730 --> 00:25:37.119 So for every single day and every single shift that we have a team 359 00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:40.400 out there, as long as there's at least two members, we have appointed 360 00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:45.480 team leads. Yeah, and I think and we've done a great deal of 361 00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:51.029 training and thinking about what that team lead needs to do. What are the 362 00:25:51.069 --> 00:25:53.789 duties of a team lead? Yeah, what are the qualities of a team 363 00:25:53.869 --> 00:26:00.109 lead that that we're looking for and really, what is the vision behind the 364 00:26:00.190 --> 00:26:03.900 team lead in the first place? Yeah, so so maybe we can talk 365 00:26:03.940 --> 00:26:08.980 about that. Some of the the responsibilities, first of all. Yeah, 366 00:26:10.059 --> 00:26:12.579 of the team lead. Yeah, if you want me to, I'll kind 367 00:26:12.619 --> 00:26:15.259 of knock through that, that list and major expound on some of those a 368 00:26:15.299 --> 00:26:18.450 little bit. Some of this is going to be pretty self explanatory, but 369 00:26:18.650 --> 00:26:22.849 some of the responsibilities of a team lead, and again, this is to 370 00:26:22.410 --> 00:26:26.490 especially if your love life and you need to be freed up. You're one 371 00:26:26.490 --> 00:26:29.890 of our missionaries, you need to be free up to engage with local churches 372 00:26:29.970 --> 00:26:34.519 and do fundraising and a lot of other things. The Sidewalk Ministry can really 373 00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:38.839 you can really take up a lot of your time and there's a lot of 374 00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:41.400 attention that needs to be given to it. So if you need to be 375 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.079 freed up, then you've got to be able to identify people that can be 376 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:48.950 team leads, because you can't be out there every Monday morning, for example, 377 00:26:48.990 --> 00:26:52.150 or Tuesday morning for example, or Tuesday, you know, Tuesday morning, 378 00:26:52.269 --> 00:26:56.829 Tuesday afternoon, heading up all the teams whenever you need to be doing 379 00:26:56.869 --> 00:27:00.829 other things. Right. So really a wise leaders get to equip and empower 380 00:27:00.869 --> 00:27:04.140 other people to lead and have confidence in the leaders that they've established. So 381 00:27:06.099 --> 00:27:08.259 you need to establish these team leads and here's again, here's some of the 382 00:27:08.339 --> 00:27:12.619 responsibilities. Those team leads need to be able to encourage the team. This 383 00:27:12.779 --> 00:27:18.970 is a potentially discouraging ministry. So they need to have a personality and a 384 00:27:18.009 --> 00:27:23.369 willingness that encourages people and they need be intentional and course, you, as 385 00:27:23.410 --> 00:27:27.849 a leader, need to encourage them to encourage others. And so it's good 386 00:27:27.930 --> 00:27:33.440 that you're pouring into your team leads and and so that they can pour in 387 00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:37.279 and to the others that they're leading. And we're not talking about them leading 388 00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:41.079 a team of twenty. People really talk about them leading a team of you 389 00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:45.509 including themselves, three or four people right, but they need to be encouraging 390 00:27:45.710 --> 00:27:51.829 to the team. They need to be sure that the full team will be 391 00:27:51.910 --> 00:27:55.829 there, so they're in communication with those who are under their charge and we 392 00:27:56.150 --> 00:27:59.740 give responsibility for the team lead for, you know, each day to really 393 00:28:00.099 --> 00:28:04.180 keep track of their team and WHO's supposed to be showing up and, of 394 00:28:04.259 --> 00:28:08.099 course, if there's a day in which their team is because again we're dealing 395 00:28:08.099 --> 00:28:11.460 with volunteers, that their team's not there and they're going to be only one 396 00:28:11.500 --> 00:28:14.970 there, of course they're going to reach out to Vicky, when I'm in 397 00:28:15.049 --> 00:28:17.569 town, reach out to me and we'll try to fill in where we can, 398 00:28:18.890 --> 00:28:22.809 but we really want to encourage them to get their team out there and 399 00:28:22.369 --> 00:28:26.890 to get their team out their own time as well. That's that's something that 400 00:28:26.970 --> 00:28:30.920 can be a challenge to it is, I know I many of our team 401 00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:34.119 leads will text they're entire they have a group text for their team and they'll 402 00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:38.519 text them the night before to make sure everybody is on board that they're going 403 00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:41.470 to be there. And then we also use a calendar, a Google calendar, 404 00:28:41.589 --> 00:28:47.069 so that not only the team itself for that day. She's whether there's 405 00:28:47.069 --> 00:28:52.190 a full team, but the entire body of volunteers sees every single day and 406 00:28:52.309 --> 00:28:56.380 if they've got some spare time they will fill in gaps sometimes. Yeah, 407 00:28:56.380 --> 00:29:00.299 yeah, you normally the way that we do things as far as like if 408 00:29:00.299 --> 00:29:03.900 a brand new volunteer comes and they ask when do you need me to volunteer? 409 00:29:03.940 --> 00:29:06.980 Or even if they come out and, because I know you've seen this, 410 00:29:07.140 --> 00:29:08.180 we talked about this, we have a brand new person come out and 411 00:29:08.180 --> 00:29:11.009 they're like, I want to come out every day, I'm going to be 412 00:29:11.049 --> 00:29:12.730 out here five days a week within it, we actually we don't want you 413 00:29:12.769 --> 00:29:18.130 to do that because you'll get burned out. I would rather you commit to 414 00:29:18.289 --> 00:29:22.369 one day a week. That's what we normally ask for. Hour or three 415 00:29:22.450 --> 00:29:26.880 hours. Actually in Charlotte three hours, which I think is kind of the 416 00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:30.240 sweet spot. Three hours, four hours is a lot, but three hours 417 00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:36.200 one day a week, and we want you to do that every you know, 418 00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:38.710 consistently every so if you're going to do Tuesday, every Tuesday, that's 419 00:29:38.750 --> 00:29:41.670 our ask normal and that will take what we can get. If somebody says 420 00:29:41.710 --> 00:29:47.309 I can only come out twice a month, then every other we will encourage 421 00:29:47.309 --> 00:29:49.910 people to make it as regular as possible so that the team leads can plan 422 00:29:51.190 --> 00:29:53.500 right. They know that such and such person comes out every other Tuesday, 423 00:29:53.940 --> 00:29:57.740 such and such other person comes out every other Tuesday, so they can kind 424 00:29:57.740 --> 00:30:03.740 of see they'll have an extra person every day of the month, but it's 425 00:30:03.740 --> 00:30:06.299 just going to be a different person, if that makes sense. Yeah, 426 00:30:06.299 --> 00:30:08.130 and I will. I will tell you that I'm pretty forth right now with 427 00:30:08.369 --> 00:30:11.849 new volunteers when they say I'm just I'm planning to come whenever I can, 428 00:30:11.930 --> 00:30:15.250 and I will flat out say, you know, we would never turn someone 429 00:30:15.289 --> 00:30:19.289 away, but that honestly doesn't help us. Yeah, because we don't know 430 00:30:19.490 --> 00:30:23.200 then if we have a full team and we would still have to have extra 431 00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:26.680 people covering. So if you're going to be once a month, that's fine, 432 00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:30.039 we understand, but make sure it's the first week of every month. 433 00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:33.119 There's something that is, like you said, regular, yeah, or it 434 00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:38.150 really doesn't help us there. And they're basically untrained if they don't come very 435 00:30:38.230 --> 00:30:44.069 often. Once a month is twelve times a year. That's hard in this 436 00:30:44.670 --> 00:30:48.710 difficulty ministry. I would not recommend it. You know, I think two 437 00:30:48.750 --> 00:30:52.259 times a month it's really the minimum someone should really commit. Tell Yeah, 438 00:30:52.740 --> 00:30:56.619 yeah, and again you take what you can get. So if people come 439 00:30:56.700 --> 00:31:00.180 out once a month, you take it. But in reality, like I 440 00:31:00.339 --> 00:31:04.609 mean, I can't remember a single time where somebody has told me, yea, 441 00:31:04.609 --> 00:31:10.089 I'll just come out when I can, when they actually become a faithful 442 00:31:10.490 --> 00:31:14.970 person. Because whenever you can. This is an intense ministry. No one 443 00:31:15.009 --> 00:31:18.880 wants to do it and if you leave it in reality you might say you're 444 00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.079 leaving it up to holy to the Holy Spirit to lead you, but in 445 00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:25.519 reality you're leaving it up to your flesh to tell you whether or not you 446 00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:27.440 want to be out there. If you say I'm going to show it when 447 00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:32.869 I want to, whenever I'm able to, you're going to give yourself all 448 00:31:32.990 --> 00:31:36.710 kinds of reasons to not come out. You know, volunteer they're going to 449 00:31:36.750 --> 00:31:38.309 do that and to give themselves all kinds of reasons not to come out. 450 00:31:38.349 --> 00:31:41.230 And so they may show up whenever they you know, are quotes, whenever 451 00:31:41.309 --> 00:31:47.180 they want to or whether they're able to air quotes again, and they may 452 00:31:47.299 --> 00:31:52.500 do that for a month, maybe couple of days of the week, and 453 00:31:52.539 --> 00:31:55.220 then you'll see them one day the next week and then you might see them 454 00:31:55.299 --> 00:31:57.700 and another day that next week and you'll see him kind of taper off and 455 00:31:57.740 --> 00:32:01.849 then you won't see him again, because there it might be spiritualizing it and 456 00:32:01.890 --> 00:32:06.369 say I'm just going to be led by the Holy Spirit, when in reality, 457 00:32:06.410 --> 00:32:08.809 let's be honest, it's probably going to be your flesh leading this thing 458 00:32:08.970 --> 00:32:13.650 and to get up in the morning to go out to a place to try 459 00:32:13.650 --> 00:32:16.680 to convince people not to kill their children while you being hated and getting yelled 460 00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:20.400 at by the people who are out there to oppose you or by some of 461 00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:22.680 the mom is going in. Your flesh doesn't really like that stuff. So 462 00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:30.470 to me, like God is after faithfulness. God wants faithfulness from people, 463 00:32:30.470 --> 00:32:35.990 Right, and faithfulness and faithfulness and commitment right. And faithfulness is not doing 464 00:32:36.150 --> 00:32:38.789 something that you're supposed to do when you feel like it. Faithfulness is doing 465 00:32:38.910 --> 00:32:42.750 what you're supposed to do whether you feel like it or not, like it's 466 00:32:42.829 --> 00:32:45.619 God going to find you where you said you would be, when you said 467 00:32:45.660 --> 00:32:52.140 you would be there. That's faithfulness right, and so that's what I encourage 468 00:32:52.180 --> 00:32:54.339 people that want to volunteer. God want you to be faithful and I think 469 00:32:54.460 --> 00:32:59.930 that being faithful to a particular day in particular time like put it on your 470 00:32:59.970 --> 00:33:02.569 calendar. Is the devil's going to try to discourage you from coming right? 471 00:33:02.730 --> 00:33:07.650 That's just going to happen. We've talked about that in the past. But 472 00:33:07.690 --> 00:33:09.170 if you've got it on your calendar and you make it as a commitment to 473 00:33:09.250 --> 00:33:13.759 the Lord, God will honor that. Even if you do get up feeling 474 00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:15.240 groggy and you don't want to go, but you decide I'm going to go 475 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:22.559 anyway, those are the days when actually some pretty remarkable things often times happen 476 00:33:22.640 --> 00:33:25.440 the days when you go and you don't feel like going. So anyway. 477 00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:29.470 Look, me not go too far on the tangent there, but that's just 478 00:33:29.549 --> 00:33:32.710 some encouragement. I can think about volunteers getting people plugged in faithfully. So 479 00:33:32.869 --> 00:33:37.470 the third thing for a team lead would be to gather the equipment. Now, 480 00:33:37.470 --> 00:33:39.269 again, this is going to vary from city to city and depending on 481 00:33:39.309 --> 00:33:44.059 what equipment you guys use. Some people use amplified sound, some people don't, 482 00:33:44.579 --> 00:33:49.220 some people use more signage than others and things like that. I Um. 483 00:33:49.539 --> 00:33:52.940 But if you've got equipment that you guys use in your ministry, we 484 00:33:52.619 --> 00:33:57.089 we set up a camera to record, not to regard the patients, but 485 00:33:57.289 --> 00:34:00.529 to record really if anybody threatens us. It's really an accountability thing. So 486 00:34:00.809 --> 00:34:06.529 maybe the camera, microphone, literature that you're going to need for the day. 487 00:34:06.650 --> 00:34:08.730 So the team lead is really responsible for making sure all the stuff that 488 00:34:08.769 --> 00:34:15.159 you need to conduct a ministry is there. The team lead will place signs 489 00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:17.280 and wherever they need to be, making sure people who are going to be 490 00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:22.639 holding signs have signs. And you know, we talked about this and I 491 00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:28.230 think a previous podcast where we talked about how you can actually designyone in the 492 00:34:28.269 --> 00:34:30.909 new believers podcast, remember, we talked about how you can kind of give 493 00:34:30.949 --> 00:34:34.429 responsibilities to new believers. So, as a team lead, you can actually 494 00:34:34.469 --> 00:34:37.869 give some of these responsibilities to your team. Just make sure you're doing it 495 00:34:37.989 --> 00:34:42.340 wisely. You don't give the responsibility for making sure literature gets there to somebody 496 00:34:42.380 --> 00:34:45.820 who's not very faithful, so that you don't wind up not having literature something 497 00:34:45.860 --> 00:34:47.420 like that. Hey, but you can, you know, you can delegate 498 00:34:47.500 --> 00:34:52.099 some of these responsibilities as a team lead and you can train your team leads 499 00:34:52.139 --> 00:34:55.090 to delegate these responsibilities. The fifth thing you have here, which I think 500 00:34:55.130 --> 00:35:00.130 is really important in something that can be neglected is making sure the team begins 501 00:35:00.170 --> 00:35:05.329 with prayer. Now, I know we're out there and sometimes we're getting out 502 00:35:05.329 --> 00:35:08.119 there when the MOMS are arriving, right. So if we're getting there at 503 00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:13.639 nine at Latrobe, sometimes the women are coming into the abortion center. So 504 00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:15.880 we need to pray real quick and just dedicate that time to the Lord real 505 00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:21.630 quick. Wick pray with Your Eyes Open. We always designate somebody. If 506 00:35:21.670 --> 00:35:23.750 we're praying in a circle, we pray near the driveway because that's the priority 507 00:35:23.789 --> 00:35:27.670 position, number one, right. So we pray near the driveway and we 508 00:35:27.710 --> 00:35:30.389 say hey, who wants to pray with their eyes open to make sure that 509 00:35:30.710 --> 00:35:34.070 if somebody comes in they can give them literature. But we do make sure 510 00:35:34.429 --> 00:35:37.500 and begin it with prayer, like we're out there for Jesus. We want 511 00:35:37.500 --> 00:35:39.460 to dedicate the time to him. It helps us just build that sense of 512 00:35:39.539 --> 00:35:43.460 unity and so we want to begin with prayer, but also we want to 513 00:35:43.539 --> 00:35:45.579 end with prayer if we're able to. But you know, if you've got 514 00:35:45.699 --> 00:35:49.500 people trickling in, and that does happen, we want everybody to be there 515 00:35:49.539 --> 00:35:52.690 at nine, but some people come at five, some people come at you 516 00:35:52.769 --> 00:35:53.809 know, eight. Hundred and fifty eight or something like that, and so 517 00:35:53.969 --> 00:36:00.730 not everybody shows at the same time. Probably around like when when things slow 518 00:36:00.809 --> 00:36:05.320 down a little bit, maybe like, I don't know, nine twenty five 519 00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:07.360 or something. Maybe it's a little earlier than that. Kind of circle. 520 00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:12.159 Any everybody in together real quick and just pray and be be flexible with that. 521 00:36:12.280 --> 00:36:15.559 But it is good just dedicate the ministry time to the Lord in prayer. 522 00:36:16.199 --> 00:36:20.110 The next thing is, and this is really important for us, is 523 00:36:20.190 --> 00:36:22.190 that we have our team leads for each day that they're out there right or 524 00:36:22.269 --> 00:36:25.710 report of what happened out there. And it's not an extensive report. It's 525 00:36:25.710 --> 00:36:30.789 just we have a couple things that we ask them to note, like how 526 00:36:30.829 --> 00:36:34.380 many how many people showed up for an abortion, rough estimate, you know, 527 00:36:34.539 --> 00:36:37.820 how many pieces of literature handed out? How many moms chose life, 528 00:36:37.420 --> 00:36:44.300 how many moms chose Jesus, turned their life to Jesus? Even lights of 529 00:36:44.420 --> 00:36:46.530 the day? Yeah, we we have them do like a short little ride 530 00:36:46.530 --> 00:36:51.570 up of any significant events that happen. We actually have them shoot a quick 531 00:36:51.570 --> 00:36:57.329 little like one minute video just recapping and that's actually a way to help all 532 00:36:57.409 --> 00:37:00.769 the teams stay connected. Those reports are not just for us to keep tracking 533 00:37:00.849 --> 00:37:05.400 numbers. They're actually pretty relational. We have a facebook group, secret facebook 534 00:37:05.400 --> 00:37:07.920 group, where all of our team leads and all of our teams, just 535 00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:13.079 everybody who's a volunteer with love life on the sidewalk talk about these things and 536 00:37:13.199 --> 00:37:15.510 they look. You know, the Wednesday team looks for the Post that happened 537 00:37:15.590 --> 00:37:19.829 on Monday and Tuesday just to see what God's doing out there and it's encouraging. 538 00:37:20.590 --> 00:37:23.469 It's a way also for the leadership, for you as a missionary, 539 00:37:23.630 --> 00:37:27.710 the person that's heading up the sidewalk ministry, to see what's going on with 540 00:37:27.829 --> 00:37:30.340 your team. You know you've got a team lead that's out there hidding things 541 00:37:30.380 --> 00:37:32.340 up on Monday and you're not out there. It's nice to know what's going 542 00:37:32.420 --> 00:37:37.340 on and kind of what they experienced. You can help encourage them and maybe 543 00:37:37.380 --> 00:37:42.539 answer some questions some struggles that they have. So it's also a really good 544 00:37:42.539 --> 00:37:47.050 way for the team lead to specifically target and encourage each member of their team 545 00:37:47.289 --> 00:37:52.849 and when they're writing up their report we try to to pick out one thing 546 00:37:52.090 --> 00:37:58.840 each person did that was really noteworthy to encourage them. Hey, Chrissie was 547 00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:02.480 really so great at calling out to every single mom. Yeah, without fail, 548 00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:07.239 you know, something along those lines, so that again, every team 549 00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:10.239 member feels noticed and encouraged, and the team report is really a nice place 550 00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:15.030 to put that. Yeah, to give a public aclamation for for what these 551 00:38:15.110 --> 00:38:19.030 people are doing, which our volunteers, which is really pretty remarkable. Yeah, 552 00:38:20.230 --> 00:38:22.349 yeah, and the next thing, which is kind of all on the 553 00:38:22.429 --> 00:38:25.510 lines of heaven the necessary equipment, is be sure team has necessary supplies like 554 00:38:25.630 --> 00:38:31.780 tshirts and pamphlets. I'll talk about t shirts in particular. If your love 555 00:38:31.940 --> 00:38:36.340 life, we try to get our sidewalk teams to have the hope is here, 556 00:38:36.420 --> 00:38:39.500 the coral hope is here shirts, just to show some uniformity to the 557 00:38:39.659 --> 00:38:44.570 team, and so the team lead is responsible for making sure that all their 558 00:38:44.650 --> 00:38:49.849 team has a t shirt so that we all, you know, are looking 559 00:38:49.889 --> 00:38:52.769 the same. Right. There's kind of this this look so that when somebody 560 00:38:52.889 --> 00:38:57.679 comes, maybe a pastor comes out to see the ministry, we can identify 561 00:38:57.719 --> 00:39:00.320 who our people are to say, you know, the people in the coral 562 00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:02.599 shirts or our team, because there might be other individuals that are out there. 563 00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:07.199 They're not not with love life and maybe they're doing things that are not 564 00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:09.389 necessarily helpful. They're not. They're good, they're pro lifers, but they're 565 00:39:09.389 --> 00:39:15.550 not doing things the way that we train people to do, which oftentimes it's 566 00:39:15.590 --> 00:39:19.590 not the case. It's actually the case. Is More like there's just individuals 567 00:39:19.630 --> 00:39:22.550 out there doing what God's called him to do and it's helpful and it's fine, 568 00:39:22.630 --> 00:39:25.179 but at least we can identify who our team is and that sort of 569 00:39:25.179 --> 00:39:29.619 stuff, and it does. You know, we've had we've had some crazy's 570 00:39:29.739 --> 00:39:34.579 over the years. I think we've mentioned on on the podcast one crazy gay 571 00:39:34.619 --> 00:39:37.860 that was in Charlotte. He's definitely not a love life guy and just set 572 00:39:37.940 --> 00:39:40.690 some whacked out and crazy stuff and I don't have to throw him under the 573 00:39:40.889 --> 00:39:44.489 US every time when somebody new comes out, I can just say, Hey, 574 00:39:45.329 --> 00:39:46.610 the people in the coral shirts are with us. I don't have to 575 00:39:46.650 --> 00:39:50.570 talk about that guy and how bad he is. Just people in the coral 576 00:39:50.650 --> 00:39:53.639 shirts there with us and that's a way to identify anyway. So I'm rabbit 577 00:39:53.679 --> 00:39:57.480 trailing for the MOMS as well, by the way, not just for pastors 578 00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:00.880 coming out to view our team, but for the MOM's going in. Yeah, 579 00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:02.920 there are people that we really just agree with what they're saying. We 580 00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:07.309 don't have to say anything. We just have to say all of us in 581 00:40:07.349 --> 00:40:09.829 the coral tshirts are offering you these resources. Why don't you come and talk 582 00:40:09.869 --> 00:40:14.389 with us? So it identifies us for the mothers as well. Yeah, 583 00:40:14.389 --> 00:40:20.630 yeah, absolutely, that's good. Number eight here you have deal with crisis 584 00:40:20.710 --> 00:40:24.300 interventions. So if there's some kind of serious situation going on and the police 585 00:40:24.380 --> 00:40:28.420 meeting need to be called, normally it's the team lead that's going to head 586 00:40:28.420 --> 00:40:34.460 that up and even deal with the police, and the team leads responsible for 587 00:40:34.579 --> 00:40:37.769 putting away the equipment and supplies, making sure all that gets packed up. 588 00:40:37.489 --> 00:40:42.170 Taking pictures. We want to like in those facebook post that we talked about 589 00:40:42.170 --> 00:40:45.210 again, this is a secret group that is not going out publicly, but 590 00:40:45.289 --> 00:40:46.929 we encourage the team leads to take a picture of their team in action. 591 00:40:47.010 --> 00:40:51.719 It's encouraging for people to see that you know they're what they're doing is being 592 00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:55.639 noticed by the Lord, but also by their team leads, and its encourage 593 00:40:55.639 --> 00:40:59.880 and seeing pictures of people out there in action doing what God's called him to 594 00:40:59.920 --> 00:41:01.800 do. And so the team lead will take, you know, a few 595 00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:07.949 photos, two or three pictures, maybe a picture of the team together, 596 00:41:08.070 --> 00:41:12.469 like a little sale feet or something like that. It's just encouraging to see 597 00:41:12.510 --> 00:41:15.949 each other's faces. There are people that volunteer on Thursdays. It never see 598 00:41:15.150 --> 00:41:20.260 in person the people on Tuesday, but they see him in pictures and it's 599 00:41:20.260 --> 00:41:22.739 just a blessing and it helps build that the unity that's so necessary for the 600 00:41:22.820 --> 00:41:27.980 body to work together. Number Eleven. You have be sure all team members 601 00:41:28.019 --> 00:41:30.500 understand how to access and use the calendar, so the calendar that we use 602 00:41:30.579 --> 00:41:36.329 to organize the volunteers. The team leads are are helping their teams to get 603 00:41:36.409 --> 00:41:38.369 on the calendar and get access to the calendar because there can be some challenges 604 00:41:38.409 --> 00:41:43.769 there. And then, finally, and this is important, the team leads 605 00:41:43.849 --> 00:41:47.079 responsible to keep the chit chat to a minimum. Like we're out there to 606 00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:51.440 save babies and proclaim the Gospel. We're not out there to Chit Chat. 607 00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:53.199 Now, it's going to happen. We're going to talk amongst ourselves. We 608 00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:57.760 love each other, we want to encourage each other, absolutely, but when 609 00:41:57.800 --> 00:42:00.920 it gets to the point where it's just Chit Chat, especially, and this 610 00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:06.070 is really gets under my skin right now, I've done it myself to so 611 00:42:06.429 --> 00:42:08.750 it gets I get under my own skin sometimes, but when people are out 612 00:42:08.750 --> 00:42:14.110 there Chit Chat and especially when they start laughing and spasically, like loud laughing 613 00:42:14.150 --> 00:42:16.460 because somebody says something funny. I mean, Vicki, you say funny stuff 614 00:42:16.539 --> 00:42:20.900 sometimes and you might say it out there and I want to laugh out loud. 615 00:42:21.940 --> 00:42:24.500 But it's not the appropriate place for that. It's not the appropriate place 616 00:42:24.780 --> 00:42:28.380 for for Chit Chat and all that stuff. Again, it happens, but 617 00:42:28.460 --> 00:42:31.690 the team leads responsible for trying to keep that to a minimum and maintain help 618 00:42:31.769 --> 00:42:36.570 maintain the focus while we're out there, and so the team lead might graciously, 619 00:42:36.610 --> 00:42:40.610 if somebody's been chit chatting and just the breeze and and giggling for five 620 00:42:40.730 --> 00:42:43.730 minutes, the team lead might go over and say, Hey, guys, 621 00:42:43.769 --> 00:42:47.639 we just got to remember, like we're here to help these MOMS and we're 622 00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:52.079 here to proclaim the Gospel and they're killing babies in there. So team leads 623 00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:55.880 responsible for that, keeping the team focused. One of the ways that's really 624 00:42:55.960 --> 00:43:01.710 important to help that, to help people not Chit Chat and Group up together 625 00:43:01.949 --> 00:43:06.510 is to have those positions that we talked about. If you give you give 626 00:43:06.550 --> 00:43:10.150 people a place to stand and then separate them yet because spread them out it's 627 00:43:10.190 --> 00:43:14.820 going to minimize that. But again, it's gonna Happen. We've got to 628 00:43:14.860 --> 00:43:17.739 be gracious, we've got to be patient. We don't need to be angry 629 00:43:17.780 --> 00:43:21.900 and mean about it because people keep chit chatting, although it might need to 630 00:43:21.980 --> 00:43:23.860 be addressed one on one with somebody, if they just keep doing in it 631 00:43:23.940 --> 00:43:28.809 keeps being a problem. I mean, what's what's a tragedy is if, 632 00:43:29.409 --> 00:43:31.769 you know, we're Chit chatting, we're shooting the breeze or whatever, because 633 00:43:31.769 --> 00:43:35.250 there's a law in the day and things are kind of, you know, 634 00:43:35.449 --> 00:43:37.010 not a whole lot of activity, and they say, you know, a 635 00:43:37.090 --> 00:43:39.929 mom pulls into the parking lot, we miss her, we don't give her 636 00:43:39.929 --> 00:43:44.800 an opportunity to get literature. Or somebody walks into the door the abortion center. 637 00:43:44.840 --> 00:43:47.079 They don't get addressed because we've been out there chit chatting like that's a 638 00:43:47.199 --> 00:43:52.280 failure on our part and we need to be conscious not to not to let 639 00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:57.429 that happen as much as we can. Yeah, yeah, so I think 640 00:43:57.469 --> 00:44:00.949 that's a good general list and it'll differ, of course, at every setting, 641 00:44:00.190 --> 00:44:04.829 but but the team leaders critical because that's a big list. You can 642 00:44:04.909 --> 00:44:08.389 see it's a lot to keep track of. So the the ideal qualities of 643 00:44:08.550 --> 00:44:13.699 the team lead. I think we sort of discuss that in our last podcast. 644 00:44:14.380 --> 00:44:19.940 But you know, obviously deeply abiding in God's word, committed and lead 645 00:44:20.019 --> 00:44:23.179 by example is really important. If you show up early, your team's going 646 00:44:23.219 --> 00:44:28.570 to notice and hopefully they'll show up earlier on time. and to be an 647 00:44:28.650 --> 00:44:34.650 encourager. Yeah, and probably a seasoned believer in a seasoned counselor as much 648 00:44:34.690 --> 00:44:37.130 as possible. Yeah, so that you know what you're talking about at both 649 00:44:37.530 --> 00:44:42.199 about God and both about what's happening there on the sidewalk. Because yes, 650 00:44:42.360 --> 00:44:45.639 really really useful. Yeah, absolutely, and you skipped every one there that 651 00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:49.679 thinks really important. I won't Labor long on that point. But number four 652 00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:52.949 of the ideal qualities someone that's not afraid to confront. You've got to be 653 00:44:53.070 --> 00:44:57.989 willing have to. Sadly you do have to. Yeah, and not all 654 00:44:58.110 --> 00:45:00.869 the time, and what we mean is confront your team and say hey, 655 00:45:00.949 --> 00:45:04.269 guys, you're not doing right. But you've got to be willing to graciously 656 00:45:04.429 --> 00:45:08.900 confront and just think people need guidance and direction and encouragement and be to be 657 00:45:08.980 --> 00:45:13.260 spurred onto love and good works. We all need that. But the team 658 00:45:13.260 --> 00:45:16.260 lead needs to be able to address that and you even if there's issues that 659 00:45:16.340 --> 00:45:21.570 are that are difficult to address. I don't know. I mean maybe somebody 660 00:45:21.610 --> 00:45:24.329 keeps on getting into argument with the pro boards. The team team lead needs 661 00:45:24.329 --> 00:45:28.650 to be able to take them across the street and address them and say hey, 662 00:45:28.730 --> 00:45:31.090 in a matthew a team model like we encourage everyone, that you need 663 00:45:31.130 --> 00:45:35.250 to stop doing this and then, I think the flow of things, if 664 00:45:35.369 --> 00:45:37.480 that person, if that volunteer, doesn't stop, the team leads addressed them 665 00:45:37.920 --> 00:45:42.119 and they don't stop, then the next level will be to take it to 666 00:45:42.599 --> 00:45:45.679 you, to the missionary, or Vicky in your case, take it to 667 00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:51.190 you and then if you address it together with that team lead, if then 668 00:45:51.269 --> 00:45:54.670 it doesn't change, then you'll probably bring it to me and will probably tell 669 00:45:54.710 --> 00:45:58.469 that person to hit the road. But that hasn't happened yet, thank God. 670 00:45:58.789 --> 00:46:01.150 So yes, I don't know if you want to. You want to 671 00:46:01.190 --> 00:46:07.460 wrap up with that suggested inspiring ideas for the team. I think that is 672 00:46:07.500 --> 00:46:09.980 a good, good thing to just end with. Is Is, what are 673 00:46:10.059 --> 00:46:15.059 some things that you can do that will help to build that team come out 674 00:46:15.219 --> 00:46:22.530 camaraderie and to help them to stay cohesive and encourage and some ideas are to 675 00:46:22.690 --> 00:46:25.090 do a Bible study with the team members. Maybe it's going to be by 676 00:46:25.130 --> 00:46:29.610 a zoom meeting or something, but just if not a full Bible study, 677 00:46:29.690 --> 00:46:35.400 maybe just supposed to a video of an encouraging verse that that you put out 678 00:46:35.440 --> 00:46:38.599 on the team page. I do that a lot because it's time. It's 679 00:46:38.679 --> 00:46:46.119 just easier with with a busy schedule and doing those group emails and text to 680 00:46:46.389 --> 00:46:51.510 team members to encourage them. Yeah, for people that I know that are 681 00:46:51.550 --> 00:46:54.909 struggling or especially if I've confronted and there's an issue that they know is an 682 00:46:54.949 --> 00:46:59.909 issue with them and I've already addressed it, when I see them working towards 683 00:46:59.989 --> 00:47:04.699 improving in that area, I will send them a text immediately after that stint 684 00:47:04.820 --> 00:47:07.380 that they've been out there, their time out on the sidewalk and tell them, 685 00:47:07.420 --> 00:47:09.820 Hey, I noticed that you really stuck to your post today. I 686 00:47:09.980 --> 00:47:15.059 did that just yesterday and I just I'm really proud of you that you did 687 00:47:15.099 --> 00:47:17.530 a great job and that is a really, I think, a good thing 688 00:47:17.610 --> 00:47:22.809 to do, especially if you've confronted someone. So pointing out what they've done 689 00:47:22.809 --> 00:47:31.880 right daily, pointing out how they can be improving and again always sandwiching that 690 00:47:32.199 --> 00:47:37.000 with what they have done. That is really wonderful, and then maybe saying 691 00:47:37.280 --> 00:47:42.280 maybe here's an area that you could work on. If possible, schedule time 692 00:47:42.480 --> 00:47:45.670 away from the sidewalk. I know that it is not always possible, but 693 00:47:46.829 --> 00:47:51.469 there are many people out there that are just all of them that are just 694 00:47:51.670 --> 00:47:55.070 so wonderful in the Chitch had is because we all love each other so much 695 00:47:55.150 --> 00:48:00.579 and because they are wonderful people. So if you can schedule downtime away from 696 00:48:00.579 --> 00:48:02.539 the sidewalk, go out for a coffee before or after, have a team 697 00:48:02.780 --> 00:48:07.059 function like a picnic or something, which we always do, try to do 698 00:48:07.139 --> 00:48:12.539 at least once a year. I think that that goes a long way towards 699 00:48:12.699 --> 00:48:19.730 encouraging everybody. And then the the final thing is to using that private group 700 00:48:19.730 --> 00:48:24.889 or whatever you've decided to use, that publicly acknowledges some of the you know, 701 00:48:25.050 --> 00:48:30.719 things that you've seen that are great about your fellow volunteers so that they 702 00:48:30.760 --> 00:48:36.440 do feel encouraged. Even when we post those reports, other team members will 703 00:48:36.599 --> 00:48:40.119 often post in the comments section something that they noticed about another team member. 704 00:48:40.469 --> 00:48:45.550 So the whole team is rising up to encourage each other. Yeah, and 705 00:48:45.909 --> 00:48:51.030 that it is so important because you do lose people when they have through discouragement. 706 00:48:51.070 --> 00:48:53.309 It is a it's a rough ministry and we do need to think team 707 00:48:53.349 --> 00:49:00.820 leads especially, but about how we can really keep everybody inspired to be the 708 00:49:00.980 --> 00:49:07.579 best that they can be before God and to reflect him more beautifully every every 709 00:49:07.619 --> 00:49:09.929 time that they're out there. Yeah, so that's about it that we have 710 00:49:10.130 --> 00:49:15.170 for that for that article, and as always, we will post that article 711 00:49:15.170 --> 00:49:20.849 along with this podcast. I think it's I think it's really important for everybody 712 00:49:21.289 --> 00:49:27.639 to really be very intentional in setting up teams and team leads and thinking about 713 00:49:27.679 --> 00:49:30.920 how to encourage your teams. Yeah, absolutely. You know, God is 714 00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:34.280 a god of order. Yeah, and as much as we can, we 715 00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:38.230 want to be a people of order and organizing teams. Of course, some 716 00:49:38.469 --> 00:49:44.590 cities are there's more available volunteers and others. I get the frustrations. Like 717 00:49:45.110 --> 00:49:49.429 I love to start teams because we need teams, but I just don't have 718 00:49:49.550 --> 00:49:53.019 any people more than just me and myself for you know whatever. I get 719 00:49:53.059 --> 00:49:59.780 it, but if you don't prepare the soil and put the seeds in the 720 00:49:59.900 --> 00:50:04.179 ground, then you shouldn't expect a harvest right so before you start getting all 721 00:50:04.219 --> 00:50:06.940 these people that want to enter, be interested and want to come out there 722 00:50:06.980 --> 00:50:09.090 and volunteer on the sidewalk, have a framework together for it right you be 723 00:50:09.170 --> 00:50:13.969 ahead of the game. So hopefully this episode encourage you guys to do that. 724 00:50:14.170 --> 00:50:19.690 Gave you some some tips and some of our experiences and just some encouragement 725 00:50:19.690 --> 00:50:22.719 in this area of building teams.
