A Letter to Adult Volunteers

Dear Adult Volunteer,

You are valuable in our student ministry. We believe you are the heartbeat of the student ministry. We believe you will make an eternal impact on this generation. Jesus trusted and empowered his disciples and the early church leaders (Acts 2:42-47). In the same way, we trust you to fulfill a role of investing into the hearts of students.

You are vital to reaching this generation with Christ . We are honored that God has placed you here to lead. We’re committed to empowering and developing you! You impact on students will be lasting in generations to come.

You set the tone! You are the energy behind our purpose to lead students to imitate Christ and influence the world. God has now chosen you to play a role in implementing the vision.

Your leadership will result in lives changed . A changed life begins when students being a relationship with Jesus. You help them on the journey of discovering who God has called them to become. Your influence will help build community with students. You will help continue the process of change through discipleship. Relationships built upon God’s love will eventually result in life change in the local community.

What would you add to encourage adult volunteers? How important is encouragement in helping lead adult volunteers?
