You aren't the lead youth worker at your church? That doesn't mean you can't powerfully influence the lives of teenagers! Thanks to her 25 years of experience as a youth ministry volunteer, Danette Matty thoroughly knows your world: part-time hours, full-time passion--and no-time pay. But she also knows that you're an integral part of God's work in the lives of students and in your church's ministry to teenagers. This book will help you discover how to maintain your spiritual vitality, lead from the middle, serve through all the seasons of life, and do what you do best. You'll also gain insights into working well with teenagers, parents, church leaders, and other volunteers. Danette's goal in 99 Thoughts for Volunteers is to encourage and equip you--the volunteer whose commitment, hard work, and dedication are essential to a healthy youth ministry. She's eager to deflate the "just a volunteer" mentality and inflate the truth of the primo skills and qualities that you as a volunteer bring to the team!

Simply Youth Ministry

A youth ministry needs a solid group of volunteers to be truly effective. We youth workers all know this—but how do we make it happen? Many of us don’t do much when it comes to mobilizing volunteers and equipping them for ministry. Our plate is already full, and building a great team sounds like yet another task to add to the list. But what if your efforts to mobilize and equip volunteers actually lightened your schedule? What if this investment of time actually paid back double, quadruple, or even tenfold? The Skinny on Volunteers will help you concentrate on three simple skills that will help you mobilize and equip leaders: recruiting, keeping, and training volunteers. Yes, volunteers take time. But you’ll discover the rewards of investing in a team of people who will love teenagers, connect with them, and disciple them.

The Skinny on Volunteers: A Big Youth Ministry Topic in a Single Little Book

McKee, Jonathan

Big things can come in small packages, right? We think so, and that’s why we’ve created this series of small books about some of the biggest topics in youth ministry. We’ve trimmed away the excess and gotten right to the point of delivering more wisdom, insight, ideas, and live-it-out concepts than you’d expect in books this size! This series includes: • The Skinny on Communication • The Skinny on Discipleship • The Skinny on Outreach • The Skinny on Parents • The Skinny on Service • The Skinny on Volunteers Each title brings together two authors: one offering a big-picture perspective and the other delivering an in-the-trenches viewpoint—a dynamic fusion that provides you with the best of both worlds. If you’re new to youth ministry, these six books will help you build a solid foundation. If you’re a veteran, these books will challenge you toward fresh, creative thinking about your ministry.
