This Bible study was created by Larry Benson, the Director of Daily Operations in Helene, Bay Islands, Honduras and is based on the book The Five Disfunctions of a Team, by Patrick Lencioni.
This is not Alternative Missions’ standardized curriculum for interns. It is simply how Team Helene teaches interns and is submitted as a resource only.
Larry’s use of these Bible studies:
I use these on Tuesday nights when I do my intern meetings these are separate from regular team meetings….interns have different needs. So the form you have is to be used by a leader and could be expanded to include a Bible Study paper also for the student, but I have not done that yet. I see the 5 Dysfunctions as a relational model and a biblical one. I do one study per week for about two hours; I am big on personal reflection. Also, as homework, each intern is expected to shadow one of the full time staffers once a week. We have a list of questions they have to ask each one of us to get to know us. We also use a book called connecting cultures.
Lack of Comittment Bible Study
NOTE: The lack of commitment needs some teaching along with it. The last scripture seems to show that Paul and Barnabas never got over the John Mark issue, but in reality they did. The church at a first glace seemed to approve of Paul’s team but not Barnabas and John Mark. The Greek does not bear that out thought the Greek NT clearly shows that the church sent them both out with their approval. Another situation which started out as a conflict ended up in a celebration.
