Decide What You NEED and is Possible with Your Resources (4:47)
There are a lot of things you may want in a YM, but you need to decide what you need first.
- Do you need someone who is going to build a program?
- Or do you need someone who can spend time with your 5-10 young people? Do you need someone who is going to fire everyone up and move on?
- Or do you need a stable person to be there for years?
- Do you need a director or a minister (who will then be receiving direction)?
- Do you need a veteran or can you train a rookie?
- Are you willing to pay for the best?
- Or do you need to find a person with promise who may be more affordable?
