One of the questions that I heard the most at training camp was “who will be on my team?” 
 
For anyone who is not familiar with the World Race vocabulary (like I wasn’t before the training camp), the “squad” is the larger group of people (our “S” Squad has around 60-65 people).  The “team” is 6-8 people who you will travel the world with during the 11 months.  You may work with other teams from your squad occasionally. 
 
The amazing team that I am on is:
Mary, our compassionate leader
Lindsay, our passionate missionary
Rebecca, our loving nurse
Phil, our encouraging friend
Dex, our wise brother
 
Why “Team Arrow” as our name?
Each of us had a reason that we wanted this team name.  My reason is that an arrow (like Christianity) has a point- it can be used for offense or defense.  It needs to be shot on target for it to be effective- it isn’t effective if it goes too far off course.
