What’s Your Niche?

The success of this year’s SMX is completely due to our volunteers and staff members. This is the most “hand’s off” I’ve been with a majority of the details of the xperience….which is totally awesome because I can focus on pulling our group into a deeper spiritual direction and awareness before, during, and after the xperience. Big props so far to: 1) Marty for working through the details of travel and adventure…also for enlisting the help of Stephanie and Christina Caldwell. 2) Amy for securing the retreat center and working through those details. 3) Stephanie and Christina for rocking out our WorkDays here at the building…they have organized our teachers, trained them, and helped them pull together decorations, crafts, and game ideas.

I’m humbled that you guys dedicate your time and passion to serve our students. We are each gifted in so many unique ways, and I want to capitalize on our potential. I don’t want us to be just a group of people who sit around and talk about things…I want us to be a group of leaders who are leveraging themselves for our student ministry vision and our strategy. So, we are going to be talking about this probably for the next few meetings we have.

To prepare for our meeting this Wednesday night…be thinking around these couple of questions:

1. What are you good at? What do you love to do?

2. How can you use this to influence our students in our ministry?

3. How does your gift/gifts fit into our mission and strategy?

Thanks a lot guys. See you tomorrow night!
