Let's examine (or develop) our goals so we can clearly know what we want to achieve and whether that is being done. Let's set the strategy with the help of those who "get" strategy. Then evaluate the process and success. Growing our volunteers into Christ followers is certainly a goal I think is relevant and powerful. So let's get the move on!!

Sometimes you're just planting seeds and don't know what impact they'll have. A couple thoughts on this talk…
