Están abiertos a nuevas ideas y listos a responder al llamado de Dios de ir a la comunidad a llevar la esperanza que sabemos está en Jesucristo. Es tiempo de empezar.

¡Ponga al día el perfil de su congregación en Find-a-Church! Más de 200.000 personas en busca de una iglesia visitan este sitio web cada mes. Quizá estén buscando la suya, así que mantenga al día la información sobre su congregación.
Invite a un grupo representativo de su congregación como voluntarios para que colaboren y recomienden un proyecto de gran alcance que abarque a toda la congregación y que involucre a la comunidad, para que sea un ministerio realizado durante todo el año.
Invite a instituciones de caridad de su comunidad a que visiten su congregación y hagan presentaciones sobre las necesidades específicas de la comunidad y las oportunidades que hay para voluntarios.
Ponga la recomendación por escrito en un plan de dos páginas. Distribúyalo a un grupo de trabajo o comité apropiado o a toda la congregación, para escuchar sus comentarios. Incluya una meta (Por ejemplo: un total de 500 horas de voluntariado).
Enfatice el involucrar a los jóvenes adultos de su congregación en la generación de ideas y en el proceso de planificación del proyecto.
