Components of a Company
At the core of Band of Brothers there are really only a few basic fundamental concepts. Like so many things in life, the more complicated they become, the less we tend to want to do them. Often we end up with “paralysis by analysis.” We want to avoid those pitfalls if at all possible and keep this whole thing real simple.
Do you need?
- A battle to fight
- An adventure to live for
- A beauty to fight for
Do you understand?
- God identifies with the suffering of the oppressed
- God calls out to us to help Him fight for their justice
- God will defend us as we defend them
Do you agree?
- God is calling out to me personally
- God is calling out to my group of friends
- God is asking us be proactive and do something
If you answer “affirmative” to these questions then welcome to the Band of Brothers as we all feel exactly the same.
Here’s what we are looking for:
- Already established organic groups of friends (5-10 men) that ideally have a long term history together.
- As a group, the Band of Brothers message has struck a cord in your hearts and you have a longing for a cause, the need for adventure and the desire to bring a smile to someone in need.
- You as a “Company” are willing, ready and able to commit to taking on the responsibilities for specific missions, with measurable goals and seeing them through to completion.
Here’s what we will be requesting from each “Company”;
- Your “story” in writing and what has kept you together as friends. Why are you a Company?
- A Company name ”(i.e. “Easy Company”)
- Submitting a roster of Company members with contact information and brief Bio’s
- The group has a mutually agreed upon Company leader that will be the primary “Point of Contact” (POC)
- Scheduling regular Company events for getting together for camaraderie, fellowship, updates and strategic planning. This of course will depend largely on where your Company members are located.
- Regular communication with the Band of Brothers leadership on Company and Mission status.
- A minimum of a once a year Company event with your wives, as each of us understands the key role they play in our success.
- A commitment to visit your Missions as a Company at least once per year, to personally touch the people you are helping
