Excellent! I'll be including this in the next round of "ym posts and links to check out" on my blog.
Great bullet points! I think there is another piece to keeping volunteers for the long haul, don't go to another church. Youth Ministers need to stick around long enough to invest in their leaders. If leaders are having to adjust every two years to a new YM it can be frustrating and simply not worth it. As Youth Minister we need to stick around.
Great advice Greg. Saw it first on your blog. Always appreciate your posts. Love the graphic :-)
Very good point David. Not only investing in their leaders, but their young people too! It can take time to see real fruit in ministry and the guys who change roles every couple of years must lead really frustrating lives. More should be written on this from those with exeperience.
I didn't think of that but longevity does build trust. My Pastor would always say you don't even start a ministry until you are at a place for two years and you don't hit your stride until year 5! Wow! I can attest to that...
the graphic was easy to create and fun...

Woah, that site is sweet! lol
Your pastor is a wise man! Something for every youth pastor to reflect on.
with your technical ability, tim, you could do that in your sleep...it is those sites for the C- techies of the web like me...but it is fun!! I look forward to seeing how that sight is used in power points all across the globe now!
