@Peter: Just because your pastor is a workaholic doesn’t mean that you should be. I realize that he probably has unrealistic expectations of you because his value system for ministry is completely twisted, but don’t let the sick make you sick. Set clear boundaries and always put your family first. If your time with them is suffering, quit your job — your family is infinitely more important.

And as for recruiting leaders, here’s a post I wrote on How to recruit ministry volunteers. I’ll be posting a longer series on that sometime soon.

Any suggestions in implementing #5 when the senior pastor is a workaholic?

As for #6 how do you get the people to train in the first place?

Love to hear your answers. Thanks

Great post, it’s nice to see all these traits written out. I know them, internally, but it was good to read them and think of different situations for each.

10. They ask great questions

Great Youth Workers find ways to get students to open up by asking probing questions that draws things out of them. They have learned that by having a students answers questions, it allows the students to discover the answer for themselves instead of always giving an answer.

Thanks Tim.
