Developing a strategy to revive teamwork spirit among leaders in Seventh-day Adventist church South Kenya Conference

Abstract

For a leader, teamwork spirit means blending together in unity, working together in harmony, laboring together with God in order to achieve the common set goal, that is the salvation of humanity. It is working together as brethren, consulting together, counseling with the ministers and responsible men, and above all, seek wisdom from above together. After a serious study of teamwork spirit, the researcher developed a strategy to revive teamwork spirit among leaders in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in South Kenya Conference. A series of lessons on teamwork spirit were developed and training was done for both ministers and the church elders in various centers. The training exercise lasted for two years.After having gone through the lessons, the minsters and the elders resolved to work together as brethren and be in harmony with biblical principles on teamwork spirit. There is now improvement in church membership, tithe and offerings growth. The promotion on teamwork spirit done by the researcher has kindled in the hearts of the laity especially the church elders for the last two years. They prayed that the same spirit be generated not only in their hearts but also in the hearts of the entire leadership of the church in South Kenya Conference.
