During this church planting boot camp there has been a large amount of information that we have been doing our best to capture. Among this plethora of information David Kim came and spoke to us about recruiting people to join our launch teams as church planters. He was very insightful as to how to we ought to target our specific people who we would choose for our team. I enjoyed the method that him and Dr. McNaughton tag-team explained about allowing them to join the vision in doing something they are passionate about rather than assigning them a role that you need filled. By allowing them to join the vision they aren’t doing something just because they are asked, instead because of their passion they would do everything in their power to do the job because they love it. Also, I like what David said about hiring people that complement your work structure. By hiring people who have strengths in your greatest area of need it creates an environment for the most productivity. Another interesting tidbit that Dr. McNaughton shared was that when asking people to join that we be specific about the roles we want them to fulfill because they may want to take on more responsibility than they were asked to. Lastly, I found it very helpful that they gave a process to getting people on board with steps like being realistic about what is expected and showing them how they are needed to meet a specific need.
