As a member of the Reviving Africa mission team, I understand that I am an ambassador of Jesus Christ and a representative of this ministry. I commit to the following:
1. A Spirit of Submission & Unity
I agree to submit to the leadership of Reviving Africa and the local Zambian pastors we partner with. I will prioritize the unity of the team, refraining from gossip or complaining, and will address any conflicts directly and biblically with the parties involved.
2. Cultural Sensitivity & Respect
I understand that I am a guest in Zambia. I commit to honouring local customs, traditions, and dress codes (modesty), even if they differ from my own. I will maintain a humble, "servant’s heart" toward the local community at all times.
3. Flexibility & Endurance
I acknowledge that mission work can be "jam-packed," unpredictable, and physically demanding. I commit to maintaining a positive attitude through schedule changes, long days, and the "stretching" of my comfort zone, trusting that God is at work in the chaos.
4. Spiritual Preparation & Participation
I commit to being spiritually prepared through regular prayer and Word study before we depart. I will faithfully attend the monthly team meetings and the weekly intensive preparations starting four weeks prior to the trip, recognizing these are vital for the team's success.
5. Purity & Conduct
I commit to a lifestyle that reflects the Gospel. While on this mission, I will refrain from any behaviour (verbal, physical, or social) that could hinder the ministry’s reputation or cause a fellow believer to stumble.
