Let’s invite, not recruit people to join our volunteer team.

Too often we find ourselves getting so caught up in church work that we forget to take care of ourselves. If we want to be used by God and serve others to our fullest potential we can not neglect our own mental and spiritual health. So, what are some practical ways you can take care of yourself?

This post outlines the areas of life we should be praying for on a daily basis. It includes praying for your leaders, America, your community, your friends, your enemies, and yourself!

Volunteers are the lifeblood of most churches. Even the largest churches in the nation depend heavily on volunteers to execute weekend services and activities. 

Your ministry’s effectiveness is largely dependent on your willingness to sacrifice for it.

I read a lot of books and blogs, and listen to many podcasts. There are many people who influence me in small ways. But it recently occured to me that there are a few of major thought leaders who have a more significant influence on my work.

Once you start caring for your volunteers, they’ll start caring for your guests.
