The Volunteer Code by Ryan Frank

Ryan Frank is convinced that your ministry will live or die based on your ability to recruit and keep amazing volunteers. As a pastor and ministry coach, he knows that volunteers are the lifeblood of any ministry. In this book, Ryan shares 10 Laws to help you crack the volunteer code and have a breakthrough like never before.

• Polish your people skills so that people want to serve with you.
• Move people from volunteers to invested leaders who don't want to quit.
• Get a vision for your ministry that will inspire people.
• Train your leaders well so they are ready to take on significant roles.
• Provide growth opportunities so that volunteers don't burn out.
• Give lots of encouragement because, after all, good volunteers are hard to come by.
