Jesus didn’t focus on the number of people who liked him. He invested his time letting people know he loved them. On Good Friday he demonstrated the magnitude of this love.

Some thoughts on volunteer ministry team building:

The best way to begin building and retaining a volunteer ministry team is to first realize there are two main categories of people around you.

1. Those who are waiting to be asked.
2. Those who are waiting to be appreciated.

[Bill Buckingham @billbuckingham]

A. People are the mission. We have to always think people over task.

B. Aim to love first. Spend quality time getting to know and appreciate your team. Be specific about any appreciation/encouragement/praise.

C. Make sure they genuinely feel known, loved, and needed.

Good teachers know their lesson plans. Great teachers know their students.

Good coaches know X's and O's. Great coaches know their players.

Good leaders know their vision. Great leaders know their team.

Your people make the difference. They matter. Remind them that you care.

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

How can you lead someone if you don’t know them? How can you motivate them if you don’t know what motivates them? Great leaders build great relationships.

Now more than ever, the world desperately needs Christians/the Church to make a difference. To boldly represent Christ who is the hope of the world.

Life is a constant balance of people and task. But if you can only choose one, choose people over task every time.

Trust is the ultimate test of leadership.

If people don’t trust you they won’t listen to you. If people aren’t listening to you they won’t follow you. And if people aren’t following you you are no longer their leader.
