Building Up: the ripple effect
6 Oct
Last week I wrote the following:
This week I’ll sit down and flesh out a growth plan for a jr volunteer that I recently removed from my team. He wants to return but I need to see changes in him. I’m excited for what this could lead to. A process of time involving different people that will spend time with him to talk about heart issues and his relationship with Christ. If he submits to the process, the potential for transformation is rich.
So if you’re curious what kind of plan I put in place, click here to see it. (I’ve changed the name to protect the innocent.)
The goal is remembering what we can control and what we cannot. We can
- create an expectation
- foster an environment for heart change
- provide the support for growth
But ultimately, heart change is something only God can do as “Billy” allows.
But if he allows… the ripple effect is incalculable. Please pray for “Billy”.
i so respect what you’ve done here. thanks for putting the document up, helps to see the full picture. it is great to see your heart for this individual as i am currently struggling with adult volunteers’ attitudes towards “junior volunteers.”
