What to do when your team grows bigger than you can accommodate in Honduras?

This is a common problem with the AHMEN teams as they grow. Most folks want to go back and take a friend or family member. So, what is the solution? I have seen several successful methods for handling this “good problem.”

• Simply split the team. One team then becomes two with each having it’s own team leaders and objectives. They can either go to the same location, or one can start a new “mission” field. This does require the team leader to always have the “next team leader” in training. This is the most common way I have seen.
• Go to an alternative place with your team. This will “force” some of the team members to return to their “favorite” mission “home”, thus splitting the team. This does require the team leader to always have the “next team leader” in training.
• The original team leader goes down for an extended period of time but has the team spit into several workable teams with “sub team leaders” . The next year the problem is solved and the original team leader is no longer needed. This does require the team leader to always have the “next team leader” in training.
• Just don’t train the next year’s team leader, then when the team leader doesn’t’ go for any reason, the team falls apart. This is the worst idea and does not require the team leader to always have the “next team leader” in training.
• Interesting enough, this year we are seeing both the Livingston Chapel team and the Auburn Vet team use system Number 3. Hopefully we will get an update from them on how this works.
• If you have seen another system work, give us your feed back and let’s see what we can learn from you.
