In the ACTS Outreach Program there are Life Teams consisting of six people, with one of these members designated as the Team Leader. This can vary from five to six people. Three teams working together will form a Life Group consisting of fifteen to eighteen people.
    There are at least eight reasons for having teams.
1. This enables people to go out by two according to the scriptural pattern. The ideal couple is a husband and wife.
2. This provides another witness and testimony to confirm the truth being presented—in the mouth of two or three witnesses.
3. A close knit team can pray the prayer of agreement.
4. People who pray together and witness together learn to flow together for better teamwork in the ministry of the Word.
5. Names to follow up are pooled among all six team members. A prospect is not just contacted by one person, but they could be contacted by several different people showing real concern and interest. This is also a measure to prevent failure to follow up a contact, by one or two people of the team being responsible to follow up. WE MUST NOT FAIL TO FOLLOW UP CONSISTENTLY! But, don’t drive them away by overwhelming them with calls!
6. Team members can be mutually supportive, encouraging one another and sharing experiences with one another.
7. Team members can be mutually accountable to one another.
8. Team leaders can glean written testimonies to be turned in to the Church that can be shared with all.
9. Team members will have different abilities that will help make the team a strong, cohesive unit that will be able to carry out the work that needs to be done. Example: one team member might be strong in street witnessing, but weak in training disciples. Another team member might be strong in training, but weak in street witnessing. The strong street person will take the lead in street work, and the strong trainer will take the lead in discipleship, but, with each learning from the other. Working together in this way gets the complete job done by effectively combining strengths and weaknesses, which goes to make up a strong team, that continues to grow in strength.
10.Team members can grow comfortable with calling on each other for help. Example: A call from a cell phone for a short testimony from another team member, or group member, could be a real encouragement to the prospective convert or for someone who needs healing. It could be a real encouragement to someone needing healing from cancer to hear a testimony from someone who was healed of cancer. There could actually be a church wide testimony list that could be available for this purpose. These testimonies could even be put on a voice-on-demand message machine that could be dialed into any time day or night.
