One of the number one reasons people leave the mission field is because of interpersonal relationships. eMi-as a ministry serving the Lord- finds it very important for a group of people working together to know the abilities and gifts God has given them to better understand and serve each other well.
In training thus far, we have talked a lot about our strengths, personalities, spiritual gifts, etc as a team. We have taken many fun tests like the Myers-Briggs (for you Myers-Briggs fans out there I'm a ESFJ) to better understand how we work and make decisions. It is easy to assume that when taking personality tests like these, we are placing ourselves in a box without any room to grow or change. But I have found these tests to be really helpful and encouraging in a way that I desire to build off my strengths and apply the gifts God has given me.
