Together is better than alone…

Together is better than alone…

At times I have been SO focused on a ministry challenge that I forgot the forest for the trees. It can be a lonely feeling.  Pressure is there to come through, whatever the challenge is. If there were just another soul with fresh eyes in the trenches to bounCe ideas off of… to help me “C” things more clearly. Topics like:

Recruiting and keeping A+ volunteers. Easy to say, hard to do and keep it going.
The right Programming to stay fresh. Appreciating the team you have. Staying focused and built up spiritually. How do YOU turn the ship to current effective ministry?
Yikes! SO many of trees in the forest.

OK. Deep breath. What if together we sit down at the idea studio table, grab a coffee and for the sake of the Gospel- bounCe (so we can “C”) solutions off of one another to make ministry to kids and students and leaders the very BEST.

SO…what’s your big hairy audacious challenge in ministry right now? Individually we cannot begin to have all the answers to this gift of ministering, but I invite you to jump in with me to bounCe ideas off of one another and network.

IDEA STUDIO TABLE DISCUSSION of the day:

Fishing for volunteers

What’s the biggest success story you have in recruiting “keepers” in volunteering from your side of the table?

Like to bring a question to the table? We’re all ears…
