Life Team

LifeTeams are small, rapidly multiplying units of believers that are systematically trained and working as a team according to a specific training program with the purpose of reaching their city for Christ. The teams follow a course of study and application that coincides with the John G. Lake Ministries (JGLM) Dominion Bible Institute (DBI). The leader of the team has the responsibility of training, equipping, and preparing the members of the team to do the works of Christ. The training of members takes place through teaching, study, role-playing, and developing within each member a lifestyle of doing the great commission.

MISSION

The purpose and function of LifeTeams is to assist Christians in growing up into Christ in all things by fulfilling the great commission and producing spiritually mature Christians in the shortest time possible.

Each member of the team is being trained and equipped, by being on the team, to become a team leader and start his or her own team. The members work together, each having a function and responsibility—making it a team, not merely a group.

Matthew 28:19-20

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

2 Timothy 2:2

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

Team Work

There is a difference between a group and a team. A group is a number of people or things that are together or in the same place, whereas a team is a group of people that work together to achieve an objective. Everyone on the team plays a part in fulfilling the purpose and goals of the team. Each member edifies, builds up, and adds to the team. Instead of having an inward focus on the members of the group, the focus of JGLM Life Teams is outward—bringing the life of God to their community.

The team's overall responsibility is to—

• Ensure that every person in their area has had the gospel presented to them

• Regularly pray for all people within their area

• Be a team that helps and brings healing for anyone, anywhere, anytime
