EQUIPPING KEY VOLUNTEERS TO BUILD TEAMS
Workshop #2: How to Find Those Who will Join the Key Volunteer Team
WE ARE HOPING TO BUILD A TEAM OF LIKE-HEARTED DISCIPLES WHO WILL TRUST GOD TOGETHER TO BUILD A SPIRITUAL MOVEMENT -from the Movement Definition
Help your Key Volunteer begin to form and invest in a core student or volunteer team. Though this can happen quickly, it most often happens over a period of time as the Key Volunteers share their faith and cast vision for movements.
Start by having them meet together for prayer and sharing vision in addition to their personal ministries. There is no better beginning than a small group of students committing to meet and pray together for their university.
Help them express their vision in their own words and establish simple next steps in light of their critical mass and maturity. Use the Essential Path tool to help them formulate their team’s vision for building a movement and their first steps in prayer, evangelism, etc. Go over the Movement Definition with them again as a reminder of what they are working toward.
In order to help your Key Volunteer form a team, the Catalytic coach needs to train and model to their Key Volunteers the foundational principles and methods for exploring and networking to discover new volunteers. This would include:
- Prayer
- Casting vision on campus
- Sharing the gospel
- Networking
- Sharing vision among friends and in churches
Tools for finding those who will join the team:
- Exploring and networking to find like-hearted students among believers and non-believers (the concept of sharing with their oikos/networking/casting vision to churches)
- Training Key Volunteers how to cast vision for the Great Commission and for movements
As you’ve coached the KV to find a team of like-hearted disciples, the challenge remains to see these new team members grow and develop. The next workshop will guide you through using the three thirds process to help your KV develop those around him or her.
