3. Give them a model or example.  People do what they see. Show is a much better way to train than tell. When you model ministry on an on going basis, it keeps every one moving forward on the same page.  4. Build trust. If you want your volunteers to trust you be a person of integrity and do what you say. Prove yourself, don’t lead by position only, show people you are worthy to be followed. 5. Be real and transparent. People like a leader who puts their paints on one leg at a time. Be normal; admit your struggles and shortcomings. Be approachable. Put yourself in the volunteers place and look for ways to make their load lighter.  6. Invest your time in others. The time you spend in others is never wasted. You cannot develop leaders without investing your time in them. Discipleship is taking someone who is Christ like in an area and let their Christ-likeness rub off on others. 7. Believe in them. Give them a chance to do ministry. Let them learn by doing. But Jim, they’re not as good as me, there was a day you were not as good as you but you learned by doing, now it’s time to return the favor. 8 Encourage others. Everyone I know could use a little encouragement. They not only respond well to it but they flourish. Here’s a great habit to develop, catch people doing things right!  In fact have your key staff write three thank you notes each week this practice will change your ministry.
