S2.E4: Importance of Building a Team
Manage episode 311413819 series 3119755
Welcome to Season 2's Episode 4 as we talk about the importance of building a team. I think the best teams are the diverse teams. Getting others involved no matter the age, or ability. We are seeing beautiful things in the special needs ministry that we have at our church in Rogers, AR.
Student volunteer, Chariti was a huge support yesterday. The students love her. She is their favorite person. We have students that like to play pretend dress up with her. Some students like to steal her breakfast bars. She is just a gift to serve with on Sundays. I love that we can count on her and more importantly the students can too.
We have older and wiser volunteers like Vicki who is my constant. She is always available to help out when needed. The student love her and look up to her. Older volunteers tend to bring the peace to the storm when needed. I love that about them.
We have mom volunteers who show up who have students in our ministry and they too have so much to offer. They often are the most comfortable around our students. The live everyday with special needs. They often worry about getting involved because they know that they need a break. But what they find in serving is just what they need.
We also have volunteers that have little to no experience in serving in serving those with special needs. They too bring so much to the table. I think they tend to learn the most while serving. The experience and community is a unique and special gift. They are blessed by the excitement of the students when they see them. It's really incredible.
There is so much going on in our ministry that goes beyond what I can say here on the podcast. It's so beautiful. The community and the sense of belonging that is felt by all (students included) is worth the leap to start this ministry in your own faith community.
