Volunteer Leaders that make an Impact
What causes a volunteer leader to have an impact? Is it time commitment, number of students they are reaching, how well they lead a skit? Does it have anything to do with the Youth Pastor? Should he/she micromanage each leader and make sure they are doing x,y and z? Are the Youth Directors ultimately responsible for the kind of impacts leaders have?
The reason why I am asking this is because this week, we have lost 2 volunteer leaders. There were different reasons for both leaving, but what it came down to is that they left because they were not making an impact.
I believe that a volunteer leader that makes an impact is someone who is building relationships with students and speaking the Truth of Christ into their lives. Whether that is through 1-on-1 contact work, a small group or through another way, it does not matter to me. What matters is that students are being invested in and that Christ is being poured into their lives.
What about you? What do you think?
TAKE A MINUTE and…
- Think through what it means for YOU to have a impacting Volunteer Leader.
- Then, share it with the rest of us so we can all be encourage and challenged 🙂
