Discipline Policy
Matthew 18:15-17, And if your brother sins, go and reprove him in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. "But if he does not  listen  to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED. And if he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax-gatherer.
 It is our intent to follow biblical patterns of discipline within the confines of oar ministry trips._(your organization) outlines the procedures that will be followed so as to avoid as many misunderstandings as possible. You are asked to read the outlined procedures below, sign the consent form, and return it to us. In doing this yon agree to receive correction, public rebuke and/or removal and finally corporate compliance with the decisions made by leadership as outlined in the procedures. If issues of sin or disobedience come to light, rest assured, we will follow the steps below to bring resolution to the situation.
The reasoning is simple. These trips are attempting to open up countries to renewal and revival and therefore attract spiritual warfare. We realize that if you are not right with God, the accuser will find an opening and use it against you. If the door is not open too wide then a slight correction will bring resolve to the situation. If sin has had it’s hold for too long, even correction by loving brothers and sisters may not turn you aside. If that should happen, you will be asked to leave and if you choose not to leave, we will bring you before the ministry team and inform them that they must have nothing to do with you. In signing this consent form, you agree abide by the decisions of __________leadership and their collective wisdom in handling such matters.
We realize that it is difficult if not inappropriate for everyone to know the particulars of any given situation and that yon must trust those in authority over you to seek the Lord in their decisions. In signing this you agree to abide by their decisions totally. You must understand that we want nothing more than to work side by side with each of you. However, we must be realistic as the apostles were, and follow the guidelines they have laid before us. Believe me when I tell you that it is possible to have ministry trips destroyed because of one person's disobedience or sin.   Because of this, we have endeavored to bring order where the enemy would want confusion and destruction. We are at war and therefore compliance with the decisions is not optional but mandatory.
1.   We believe that if yon have a problem with anyone you are to go to that person, without going to anyone else first. Go and attempt to bring understanding and resolution. If it is with someone of the opposite sex, then talk with him or her in a place where others are around but cannot hear. Many times what you consider a problem is only a misunderstand-ing and bringing it to their attention often brings resolution.
2.   If yon find no resolution after you have talked with them, you are to bring it to your Team Leader. The individuals involved are required to go and discuss the problem with the Team Leader. Then the Team Leader will determine what the problem is, who is at fault, and bring closure to the situation.
3.	If your Team Leader finds later that there has been no closure after the meeting, he will confront the parties with  a person they choose. That person will be informed of the situation by the Team Leader and will bring another voice of reason and authority to bring closure to a difficult situation.

4.   If the Team Leader and other person have found the person to be in rebellion to correction then they will inform  the senior GNFN representative. She will bring final closure to the situation in which all parties will be present to hear how the matter shall be ended. At this time options will be given as to how it will end and end it will. The possible options may include returning home within 24 hours or be brought before the ________ Ministry Team. If the second option is chosen, the ministry team will be informed not have anything to do with you throughout the remainder of the trip. Yon will not be allowed to ride, eat, sleep, or be with any member of the team. The team will not have anything to do with you.
5.   If what you are involved in is a sin that cannot at the discretion of leadership be taken care of in a timely
manner or would affect the team hi an adverse way. Leadership reserves the right to go immediately to step 4.

6.	In signing this agreement you not only agree to follow these procedures for discipline if you are directly involved, but you also agree as a team member to follow the directions of leadership regarding other team members.
