Welcome to the Kidmin1124.com Volunteer Champion of the Week. There are thousands and thousands of volunteers who turn out each weekend and selflessly serve children in churches around the globe. They do not do what they do for recognition or accolades, but at Kidmin1124 we would like to shine a light on some of these volunteers as a way to say “Thank You!” So, each week we recognize one volunteer from the world of kidmin who goes above and beyond in their service to God’s kids. Our hope is that this segment will provide some well deserved recognition to individual volunteers. More importantly though, we have asked these Volunteer Champions to share some of their insights and experiences with us so that we can all learn from their wisdom.

We also asked Adam to share some thoughts and wisdom on some selected questions. Here is what he had to say:

1. What is the single greatest lesson God has taught you through your volunteering in children’s ministry?

The greatest lesson I’ve learned is to have the faith like children. It’s no mistake that Jesus said "Let the little children come to me." I’ve been inspired and awestruck by the children’s innocent faith. It’s also very humbling to know that I better teach the kids THE TRUTH so that the kids do not grow up believing a lie.

2. What have you learned about leadership as a volunteer?
