Catch up on the newest change to my race on my last blog: A NEW SEASON OF LEADERSHIP

So many of you may be wondering what this whole “Squad Leader” role looks like. There’s a lot of different World Race lingo thrown around and it’s easy to forget that some people have no idea what I’m talking about!

Let’s begin our lesson!

Now I checked Webster’s Dictionary and… nothing! Surprise, surprise.

So it looks like it’s up to me to explain this! Please see figure A:

The above image is a squad, more specifically P-Squad. These men and women make up the giant family of 69 people that I am a part of! They have been known to be fun, crazy, serious, passionate, compassionate, and a host of other adjectives. (I tried the thesaurus but there just wasn’t enough words!)

Now each squad is made up of teams, in our case there is 10. Each of these 10 teams is made up of 6-7 individuals from the squad, including one person who serves as team leader. Please see figure B:

Finally we have the illusive SQUAD LEADER (that’s me). Our squad has had 3 incredible woman serving in this role up until now, who were World Race alumni. After 3 months on the field they choose current racers to take their position. At the end of month 3 I was asked to step into this role along with my new partner in crime, an incredible sister in Christ, Ms. Lia Frederick. Please see figure C:

So these next 8 months will look drastically different for my new partner and I. Each month we will travel around visiting different teams. We are there to pour into the team leaders and the team. We will live alongside them, do ministry with them, and spend time with them as we walk this out together!

Our role might be hard to pin down as it is constantly changing to fit the needs of the squad, but we will be:
Developing Leaders
Casting Vision
Facilitating Communication
Encouraging these Warriors
and more!

I hope this little lesson helps you better understand this new role! Please feel free to ask any questions you might have below!
