Hey, I read this article from Christianity Today adapted from the book Making Your Children's Ministry the Best Hour of Every Kid's Week by Sue Miller with David Staal, Zondervan, 2004.
Here's a snippet:
"Our senior pastor, Bill Hybels, says that personal relationships are a key to success in volunteer recruiting—just as in evangelism. "You have a much higher likelihood of inviting someone into service if they know you and trust you," he explains.
Bill goes on to suggest meeting over a cup of coffee and sharing a well-thought, personal ministry vision and invitation.
Whether you want to ask someone to begin volunteering in your ministry, or your intent is for an increased level of involvement, one of the most effective tools at your disposal is a one dollar bill. Here's how it works:
1. Buy the person a cup of coffee or a soda (okay, at Starbucks you'll need $2).
2. Say one or two clear lines about the ministry's vision.
3. Share one or two lines about what the volunteer experience has done for you. personally (with a potential volunteer) or specific passion/giftedness you've noticed in the person (with a current volunteer).
4. Ask "Will you come with me just one time and simply watch what happens in our ministry?" or "Will you pray about this important role you can play?"
5. Stop talking. |
