God has the leaders you just have to find them
Who do you think cares more about your ministry? You or God? Don’t you think he has the shepherds ready to equip your ministry?
There is a myth in the church that you have to be young and cool to be a good youth worker
God has the leaders, we just have to look in the unlikely places to find them
10% of Volunteers will come to you 90% will come because they are asked
2. Raise the Bar, raise healthy leaders
Exous 18:17-23 (Jethro’s Leadership Advice)
1 Peter 5:2-3 (NLT)
Seek out Humble leaders
You must have a screening process for leaders
3. Valued Leaders become Valuable Leaders
Be clear with expectations
Care for WHO the leader is more than WHAT the leader does
Be specific with Praise
Commit to develop leaders not just recruit and hire them
4. Volunteers need: Care, Conversation, Confrontation, and Challenge
People (Leaders) LEAVE Leaders not Ministries
You have to learn to confront to be an effective leader
Saddleback Learnings on Volunteers:
Training and Meetings are Overrated
Great Communication with Volunteers goes a long way
Leading Volunteers is a ministry within itself
