If you were in business and sold greeting cards - and stocked a range of boring, uninspiring, make-do, half-hearted greeting cards, you'd do your dough (go out of business).
People are not attracted to boring, uninspiring projects, programs, ministries or products.
Sure - you will always get someone who sees it as their mission in life to attach themselves to every Titanic that comes along. But those you attract either won't do you any good or won't stick around.
If your program is bad - the kids won't like it If the kids don't like it - your existing leaders won't like it if the leaders and kids don't like it - the kids parents won't like it
If the parents don't like it - they won't help
Boring programs breed discontent.
One of the foundational laws of the Kingdom of Heaven is that Success Breeds Success. This lesson was taught by Jesus in the parable of the talents. The one servant who did nothing (ran an uninspiring, boring program
in our example) incurred the wrath of his master and lost his talent - it was taken from him and given to the one who had the most.
If you want to attract leaders to your program or ministry - you need to offer a program that is compelling, life changing, inspiring, motivating, stretching, achievement orientated and stimulating. It should cover
the four gold points of our emblem - physical, mental, spiritual and social.
Offer something of value. Begin to reap of harvest.
