Recruiting = Ministry

Any ministry leader knows that recruiting for various roles and needs in a ministry is continual.

Recruiting for a ministry can itself can be a ministry to people. Sometimes people volunteer to help because it will be good for their own social needs. I think this is completely legitimate. Just think of the number of times people tell of how they get more by serving themselves than they feel they give.

Patience, answering questions, listening to people's stories, and ensuring flexibility for people new to a ministry are all themselves eternally valuable for the recruiter and recruitee.
