GO Team Leader

How do I know if being a GO Team Leader is right for me?

The GO Team Leader is trained to lead a diverse team of peers spiritually and in a cross-cultural context. The leader should be humble, thoughtful, cautious, dependent on Jean, decisive, adventurous, and able to lead without constant supervision. The leader should be an involved participant in a local church and have a burden to reach the lost.
