Servants do work with God.
Volunteers get tired of the work,
Servants are tired in the work.
Volunteers pray their work will succeed.

                    A volunteer fire department was fighting the blaze engulfing Julia Campbell cousin’s barn.  As he watched, he dialed his insurance company on his portable phone, but there was no answer.  “How come my agent is never there when I need him?” he asked in frustration.

                    How to find volunteers for a ministry:
WHAT NOT TO DO:
1. Do not generally stand in front of your congregation and make a plea for help.
2. Never beg people to join your ministry.
3. Never invite someone to join your ministry team unless you’re confident in their abilities to fulfill the roles you
