How “Showing Up” helps your Ministry

Contact work is vital to your ministry. If you and your leaders do a lot of it, it will yield great relationship results with people you are trying to reach. However, if you don’t do a lot of it, it can cause a lack of solid relationships in your ministry.

Today Cory Sullivan joins me in person as the Orange Conference ’18 begins and we talk about the value of showing up. More importantly, we talk about the value of showing up in the lives of students and families when relationships may be rocky or students may be distant. When you show up in their lives then it can communicate so much about the love of Christ in their lives and how much you care for them.
