Of late, I’ve been wondering why is it that it’s so difficult to get people to serve in the ministry. Does it only affect CHCTVM? Have we been so lax that the attitudes have changed so drastically? Or are the people today just like that?
But yet as I sit down to think about it, I have no answers to the questions. I’ve heard comments that the crew doesn’t care how much others are stretched; they only care about themselves. Now isn’t that just plain selfish?
As leaders, we are supposed to inspire and to lead. So how effective have we, the leaders, been? Have we been doing things the correct way? Is there a more effective way of leading the crew?
I know it takes two hands to clap. But it has just gotta start somewhere. Best place to start? I guess that’s from the top. There must be a way to inspire and to lead more effectively.
Super random post but I need to get thoughts off my chest. What triggered this is that it’s becoming more and more difficult to get crew to serve, especially the crew from the Expo team. Yes, there is a core group of people who’re dedicated to the ministry. But that’s a small group. What is needed is that the masses, the rest of the ministry, avail themselves to serve.
A fellow leader brought up a point. Why is it that a smaller team in JW can fill up a roster faster than a team that’s more than twice in size combined? I think it boils down to the commitment level of a crew. I’m sure that the JW team and the Expo team people are not much different. We all have our own jobs and commitments outside of church. So why can the JW team stretch themselves so much? Some even serve longer hours than than the team in Expo.
Well, I guess it’s time to pray and seek the answers from God. I don’t have the answers, and neither do I want to present an answer here. This is just me ranting about a real problem that needs a real fix and real quick.
Food for thought? That’s for sure. Until next time, cheers… :Þ
