When respect runs from both directions a lot can be accomplished in/through volunteers.J.

In our part of the world we have treated short-termers and volunteers with respect and as a result some of the greatest strides forward in reaching new and unreached areas were done with these tremendous people. Seeing volunteers and short-termers here on the field has renewed my own faith in our beloved SBC. I left the US ten years ago discouraged and burned out about the Church in the West. But after seeing these great people come out I am amazed. God used us to disciple people like this? He is raising up a mighty generation. These suggestions in your post will keep that mighty generation engaged with us. We need them and dare not take them for granted and abuse them as has happened in the past. <br />The big word for your list is respect. Let us honor one another and thus fulfill Christ call for us to love one another. Then volunteers will truly be a blessing to His work in all our areas of service.Striderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07347436154893544535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23191203.post-57246420945978594492006-12-29T20:24:00.000-05:002006-12-29T20:24:00.000-05:00Kevin,

We've been out of town this past week and are just getting back home today. <br /><br />Ken,<br /><br />Excellent additions to the list. I will definitely remember these suggestions you make.J.

Here are things I would add to the list that hopefully someday, volunteers will ask for along with these five you have listed.<br /><br />1. Training - Teach us how to do what it is you want us to do correctly. Help us understand what you know that we don't know but need to know.<br /><br />2. Be honest with us. Tell us where we are needed most so that we will be drawn to those locations of greatest need.<br /><br />3. Help us help you in communicating with Southern Baptists. You the missionary have a message for SBC churches, let us help you get that message out to everyone.<br /><br />The list could go on but you get the idea.
