Your July Resources Are Here!
Halftime. It’s one of our favorite times of the year because it naturally provides a breaking point between the first half of the year and the second, creating a place to pivot. We look back and ask ourselves: What do we like? Dislike? What needs to change? When we look forward, what do we hope occurs? What change can we make that’s within our control? Just a short hour at a coffee shop can make all the world of difference! It’s three simple steps:
-schedule a moment for yourself
-ask the LORD for insight
-look back, look forward, evaluate, & pivot
Thanks for the privilege of partnering with you in ministry.

Coaching
Many ministry leaders hold fast to the theory that college students make the best volunteers. Yes, they bring a serious amount of energy, but what if you could have a little more? What if you had a mixture of college students with parents who bring safety, responsibility, and wisdom? You may wonder…can parents love other kids like they love their own? In this coaching video, Jeremy Lee gives you practical and strategic ways to cast a vision to parents so they will become some of your most vital and faithful volunteers!
