It’s true.
If you volunteer in kids ministry… your ask is bigger than mine.
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve got a big ask.
But yours is bigger.
How do I know?
I can prove it.
You see, I lead a ministry with a lot of kids. And I need a lot of volunteers to love those kids.
I recruit volunteers from several avenues. To name a few, I might find a new volunteer from…
…our new member class where someone wants to become an active part of our church.
(40% success rate)
…a push from the stage when my pastor mentions our kids ministry.
(15% success rate)
…people I ‘shoulder tap’ in the lobby and invite them to serve in kids ministry.
(50% success rate)
But my greatest yield has always come from volunteers recruiting volunteers.
For some reason, a volunteer’s invitation carries more weight.
When a volunteer invites a friend to serve, I have nearly 100% success placing that volunteer and retaining them.
So, when I say your ask is bigger than mine… I’m serious.
You’ve got a big ask.
Just sayin’.
