HCS - Volunteer Performance Standard    BACK

 

1.

We are a team of committed Christians and will support each other.

1 Corinthians 3:9  "For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building."

 

 

2.

We believe that we have a mission from God to go and do this work.

1 Timothy 2:3-4 "This is good and acceptable in the sight of God  our Savior,  who  desires all men to be saved  and to come  to the knowledge  of the truth."

 

 

3.

We are dedicated to bringing credit to God through this ministry.

2 Corinthians 6:3-4  "...giving  no cause for offense in anything, so that the ministry will not be discredited,.. but in everything commending  ourselves as servants of God,..."

 

 

4.

We conduct ourselves with wisdom as we utilize this opportunity in representing Christ.

Colossians 4:5-6 "Conduct  yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders,  making  the most of the opportunity.  Let your speech always be with  grace, {as though} seasoned with salt,  so that you will know how you should respond to each person."

 

 

5.

We recognize the importance of being examples of believers in language, appearance, love, faith, and purity as we carry high visibility on a trip.

1 Timothy 4:12 "Let  no one look down on your youthfulness, but {rather} in speech, conduct, love, faith {and} purity, show yourself an example of those who believe."

 

 

6.

We plan to have fun and enjoy working together in all appropriate ways.

Ephesians 5:4 "and {there must be no} filthiness  and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving  of thanks."

 

 

7.

We desire every word and deed to be all in the name of Jesus and to the glory of God.

Colossians 3:17  "Whatever  you do in word or deed, {do} all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving  thanks through Him to God the Father."

 

 

8.

We are linked to prayer partners in our church family and each other.

1 John 5:14 "This is the confidence which we have before  Him, that, if  we ask anything according to His will, He hears us."

 

 

9.

We will not fear whatever obstacles we face.

Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you."

 

 

10.

We will work, pray, and laugh hard; and we will succeed with this mission.

Proverbs 16:9  "The mind of man  plans his way, But the  LORD directs his steps."

We are not going to build a camp; we are going to fufill a ministry.
