Volunteer Centered Leader: Now What?

Submitted by James Higginbotham on March 2, 2008 – 9:32 pmNo Comment

We’ve come to the end of this wonderful journey on becoming a volunteer-centered leader. We’ve tackled some tough issues as well as some great reminders of what it takes to become focused on developing the next generation of leaders.

So, now what?

If you are developing new leaders and start to see the fruits, you may be asking yourself what comes next? Although this isn’t a full list, here are some thoughts that come to mind:

  1. Take a short rest – spend some time away from the ministry, allowing your new leaders to take control of weekly operations. This will give you time to refresh mentally, physically, and spiritually
  2. Invest your time in other leaders – help other leaders within your church do the same thing. I have done this by using my ebook’s small group format in a group of 2-6 leaders to teach them what God has taught me. You can do the same using your experience
  3. Move to a new calling – I have heard more than once of leaders that have a new calling in their life that they haven’t been able to realize because of the demands of their leadership. Now you have that chance – don’t waste it!

Whatever you do, don’t waste the opportunity to make a huge impact in the lives of those around you! By taking advantage of the opportunity, you can begin to see God work through the lives of leaders in amazing ways. They will experience a level of faith in God that they have never known before, while making a positive impact on others.

Asking “Now what?” Instead, ask “What is for me now, Lord?”
