		<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[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>

		<description><![CDATA[Do your kids have somebody? A while back, God really brought something to my attention. I started looking at our children's ministry and realized that it was possible and sometimes probable that a kid could come to our church, check-in, go to small group, go to large group, check-out and leave and nobody ever got to know that kid.]]></description>
