Number 4: You can’t be everything to everyone. This is going to be hard for you golden retrievers out there that like to please. You have to come to grips with the fact that you’ll never make everyone happy. You can’t be everything to everyone. If you try, you’ll find yourself running in circles and going nowhere.
The quicker you learn that you will never connect with every person in your ministry the faster you’ll succeed in ministry. (You’ll also never connect with every kid.) Although you can’t connect with everyone, Jesus can. That’s the good news and the hope.
I’ve learned that having a diverse ministry will help connect to more kids. The older parent/grand parent team member may reach out and make a connection with one student, and a high school team member may reach another team member.
Thanks for the good stuff
