		<description><![CDATA[When I was a kid I loved the Chronicles of Narnia written by C.S. Lewis. I still love the books, but when I was young they completely captivated me. Long before I could read on my own, my mom used to read to me. Whenever we would go on long car trips she would choose books to read to my brother,  sister and me. (these were the days before in car DVD players) She read all types of books but the Chronicles of Narnia were always my favorite.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago Rick Warren posted a tweet that went something like this,

    “You don’t have a giving problem, you have a vision problem. People don’t give to need they give to vision.”

I’m not sure you could say that any better and with the situation many churches are facing in the current economy, his advice is even more relevant. As I was thinking about this tweet it occurred to me, the same thing is true with volunteers.

    “You don’t have a volunteer problem you have a vision problem.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, what are we doing to recruit volunteers? I’m glad you asked… but let me start with what we haven’t done.

We haven’t publicized our need. We haven’t asked for help from the pulpit or in the bulletin. We haven’t held any enlistment campaigns. We haven’t sent letters of flyers home to parents (we did do this once a couple of years ago but we probably won’t again). We haven’t made “cold calls” to people not serving. We haven’t required people to serve… ok, enough of that. I think you get the picture.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My wife and I were talking after dinner and got into a funny conversation. We started by discussing how to explain who certain prominent children's pastors were to her nursing colleagues. You know like Jim Wideman might be Bret Farve. (not that he has trouble making up his mind but he's been around a long time and has had a lot of success) Reggie Joiner might be Peyton Manning (very cerebral). It kina broke down after that maybe you have some better comparisons.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone who serves in children's ministry has one thing in common. We need more volunteers. I've heard of the elusive "waiting list" to serve in children's ministry, and I'm sure it exists somewhere,  but I've never seen it. What I've seen more often is that as soon as we enlist more volunteers, God sends more kids. In truth, this is where I want to be, first because it means the kingdom is growing and second because it keeps us looking to God to provide for us.]]></description>

This isn't a good place to get into all the "what" and "whys," but if you're interested you can contact me and I'll let you know more. I do want to take a minute and say a few things though.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Had a great night last night. A lot of that is thanks to a couple young guys that I work with at Brookwood Church, JC and Josh. They've been using blogs and social media to connect with people for years. So, after watching them for a couple of months I decided to join twitter about a year ago and I started blogging about 3 months ago.]]></description>

I had the opportunity to meet with him yesterday to talk about the children’s ministry at our church. I thought I was meeting with him to help him understand what we’re trying to do in children’s ministry…

That’s not exactly how it went down.]]></description>
