Team Member Letter of Commitment E-mail Address: * As a Team Member of the Godly Girlfriends ministry, I will: 1) Surrender my heart to daily discipline of prayer and study time of the Word; 2) Surrender my mind, my will, and my emotions to the authority of the Lordship of Jesus Christ and will glorify Him and edify the Team members with all my words and actions; 3) I will submit to the authority of my Team Cupbearer leader as well as to the entirety of the Cupbearer leadership; 4) I will assist all Team members by surrendering to a posture of servitude; 5) I will commit wholeheartedly to serve as unto the Lord by being present for all Team meetings and forsaking all the ways of the world by retreating to the covering of the mission for the entirety of the Retreat/Conference; 6) If speaking, I will submit a written copy of my talk to the Standard Bearer prior to the Retreat/Conference for review; 7) I will not be disruptive to the Conference by going in and out or by being on my phone; 8) I will never try to handle a situation or problem alone but will immediately take any concerns to my Cupbearer leadership, for spiritual counsel I will seek out the Prayer Team or Ministry Team, for problems concerning the facilities I will go to the Shield Bearers, and for all other problems I will go to the Armor Bearer or Standard Bearer. 9) I understand that all things are to be held in confidentiality. From Snyder native and Baylor coaching legend, Grant Teaff on the importance of coming together as a team: “We’re all stronger when we come together as a team. A community is a team that is working because they care about each other. Three keys to achieving success in life are: First, a positive attitude, positive expectations…you have to believe you can win. The second key is that the team members must be willing to give a total effort. Success doesn’t come to teams that make a half-hearted effort. A good leader figures out how to motivate his/her team to buy into a goal and give a maximum effort to get there. And the third is: don’t beat yourself up. It’s easy to let distractions keep us from completing a task. By focusing on the goal, and setting distractions aside, we give ourselves a better chance of succeeding.” (Taken from quotes spoken by Grant Teaff at the United Way Kick-Off Luncheon, 2015) From the bottom of our hearts and to the glory of God: thank you for serving!
