A few thoughts for those of us who are struggling to find volunteers.
- If this is the way your team looks when you "serve" at your church, don't expect everyone around you to jump on board.
- Why would someone want to join a group of volunteers who look and act like they're performing court-ordered community service projects?
- When you see prisoners on the side of the interstate picking up garbage with a sheriff looking over their shoulders, are you ever compelled to jump in and help out? Of course not.
- When you read verses like this one, shouldn't people see the contagious excitement and expectation of God's transforming power on your face?
- "People Don’t Respond To Need–They Respond To Vision. When a leader talks about a need SOME people will respond. BUT…when a leader can cast a compelling vision about what SHOULD BE…and with God’s grace and our participation WOULD BE…CHANGE HAPPENS! Many times a team leader will drift off course…NOT because they are lazy and/or pathetic…but because maybe they have forgotten why they do what they do…and a shot of vision will cure that every time." - Perry Noble
- A good attitude makes the big problems easier to deal with and the small problems almost disappear.
