It’s been almost two months since the last time I posted an article in our series on what your volunteers want you to know but might not be telling you. Last time, we finished up in the category of “Passion.” So far we’ve covered,
PASSION
- Your Volunteers Are Passionate About What They Do!
- Your Volunteers Want You To Use Their Passion!
- Share Your Vision With Your Volunteers
- Give Your Volunteers Autonomy
- Volunteers Need The Opportunity for Advancement
Today, we begin a whole new category of things your volunteers want you to know but might not be willing to tell you. Today, we start talking about SERVICE.
Your volunteers sincerely desire to help you help God’s kids. In order to do that though, they need some things from you, and many volunteers may be unwilling to come right out and ask for these things. This week, will want to look at:
TRUST IN YOUR VOLUNTEERS!!!
It is imperative that you find a way to trust the people you have working for you. Your volunteers are there to help you out. If you don’t trust them, you’ll never be willing to turn parts of your ministry over to them. And, if you can’t turn parts of your ministry over to other people, it will never grow beyond what you are capable of accomplishing all by yourself. In other words, if you can’t trust you volunteers, you are dooming your ministry to be a one-man show.
