What do you want your volunteers to yearn for?

I don't just want people who are yearning to be small group leaders in our student ministry. I also want people who are yearning to be a part of establishing God's Kingdom here on earth. I want them to see that small groups is one way for us to help accomplish this. I want them thinking eternally. Every Wednesday night I want our students getting a small taste of heaven! I owe a lot of this thinking to Antoine de Saint-Exupery who said this,

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea."

I am so grateful that I have a team of volunteer leaders who yearning for the vast and endless sea!
