How do You recruit your leaders?
*Know the holes you have and what specific gifts, talents, personality you want in that place.
*Don’t fall into “warm body syndrome”
*Don’t focus just on ratios.
Then when it comes to recruitment, be specific and intentional.
You do 5 things on a regular basis with your leadership that flows over to volunteer teams:
*Start every huddle with prayer for each other
*it connects you heart to heart.
*It’s the glue that keeps teams together.
*How well do you know your leaders hearts?
*”Stalk your team” (In Jesus’ name) LOL! Pay attention to what’s going on in their lives
*Makes larger churches smaller
*They are your congregation- you shepherd them, they shepherd their teams.
*Everyone needs a real person to do life with.
*No excuse not to follow Matthew 18 with each other.
*Don’t allow conflict to boil over or remain.
*Just do it! Don’t put talking about off.
*Cheer your team on
*Let Go or they can’t lead.
*Let them learn to love kidmin like you love it.
*Let them place their fingerprints on things.
*Prompt laughter and not just at work.
*When you laugh together you bond.
*Create intentional times to enjoy each other
*Playing together bonds
*Don’t forget what Joy looks lke.
*Take a trip to IKEA an have some random object fun. Its better than any personality tests.
