Get Your Strategy On
Empowering Volunteers
Mar252007 Filed under: Growing Strategies Author: Tony MorganTim and I wrote a few books not too long ago sharing some of the strategies we learned that are helpful to growing churches. The first book has the strategic basics. The third book was probably my personal favorite because it reflects my heart for evangelism. But it’s the second book that seems to have the most legs for continuing to impact churches for the long haul.
The second book is all about empowering volunteers for ministry. It’s written with both staff leaders and volunteer leaders in mind. I guess every church is like NewSpring and Granger–we’re always hoping to connect more people in ministry. Because of that, Simply Strategic Volunteers continues to be the book I get asked about the most.
With that in mind, Tim and I want to share the love. We’ve worked things out with our publisher to offer bulk quantities of Simply Strategic Volunteers for leaders to equip their teams. This is a fun resource to read through with staff and volunteers because the chapters are only one or two pages at a shot. (In other words it’s a great toilet read.) Have your team read a handful of chapters. And then gather together and talk about how the strategy might be applied in your ministry setting.
If you’re looking for a sweet deal on 20 or more copies of the book, email me at "simplytony AT gmail DOT com."

I am a pastor of leadership development at Christ Church Internation (an urban church in Minneapolis, Mn). I have read tons of books by Johnny Maxwell on leadership, teamwork, and organizing volunteers, however, i’m looking forward to reading your book–it sounds pretty cool -and hey, I NEED CONTINUED HELP IN THIS AREA of strategy and volunteers–It can make a pastoral brotha go crazy!!!
