Raising Up Sidewalk Volunteers

WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.480 That was part of what finally made me say this is not just some you 2 00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:12.560 know, unimportant thing that she's doing, or she wouldn't possibly be stippy there 3 00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:17.359 here year after year with all of these terrible conditions she faces. So it 4 00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:23.960 was her perseverance. I Am Yours, I am yours, I am yours, 5 00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:29.719 and me, Lord, I am yours, I am yours.

My name 12 00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:11.599 is Daniel Parks. Serve in love life as the director of missionaries and also 13 00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.640 as the West Coast regional shepherds. I oversee our ministries out on the West 14 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.840 Coast, even though I'm right now on the east coast. Let a travel 15 00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:22.640 back and forth a lot, and then I have Vicky with me. You 16 00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.159 guys know Vicky hopefully, if you've been listening, Ei there everyone, good 17 00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:30.319 to be with you. Vicki serves here as a of our leads on the 18 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:37.760 sidewalks here in Charlotte, and so we do these episodes to help train people 19 00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:42.359 really in particular with sidewalk ministry, to be effective out on the sidewalks. 20 00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:46.439 We cover over other subjects as well, but really focus on the sidewalk outreach 21 00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.959 ministry. That's our heart. That's how the Lord called us into the ministry. 22 00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.319 Pro Life Ministry is being out on the sidewalks, reaching out to the 23 00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:59.040 MOMS and the dad's going into the abortion centers, and so this episode is 24 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:05.000 going to be maybe, maybe like a compilation of other episodes that we've done. 25 00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:10.639 We've kind of we've kind of taken some content from Time's past and condensed 26 00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:14.879 it into some of these episodes that we've put out recently, I think. 27 00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:19.840 Yeah, and now this is an episode of recruiting volunteers. Again, we've 28 00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.319 kind of given some tips and some things that we've seen work here, but 29 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.879 we're going to kind of compile some of those thoughts into one episode that I 30 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.919 think will be a real blessing to you guys that are listening yeah, because 31 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:37.159 that is a big need. If we were to ask, and we did, 32 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.360 we did a meeting, what a week or so ago with some folks, 33 00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:45.080 and just ask what's your what's your biggest struggle? And the biggest struggle 34 00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:50.960 was for the sidewalk ministry, Hey, was finding people to volunteer. Yeah, 35 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.840 getting feet on the sidewalk, finding and keeping, but but this is 36 00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:00.639 specifically more about how we can find them. Yeah, we can recruit them. 37 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.520 Yeah, absolutely. So we're going to talk about how to recruit some 38 00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:10.520 volunteers right and I mean I think the will probably give through this episode also 39 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.680 some ways to keep those volunteers, because you don't want to just get them 40 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.280 out there and just get people out there on the sidewalk and you can really 41 00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:21.759 wear yourself out get a bunch of brand new people and trying to train them 42 00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.599 up and then you find that they they don't stay. Maybe we'll do a 43 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:28.000 whole other episode. I think we could. We do touch on it this 44 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.639 one, but we certainly could expand on those ideas how to keep people out 45 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.360 there on the side well, because this is a difficult ministry. It is 46 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:38.680 this can be a very discouraging, challenging ministry and so we need some effective 47 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.520 strategies on how to get volunteers and how to keep volunteers. But in this 48 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.000 when we're going to talk about recruiting volunteers. So, Ye, jump right 49 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.360 in, Vicki. Yeah, we're we're going with this article. Okay, 50 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.560 so, like you said, this such a difficult ministry. All ministries complain 51 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:59.000 about never having enough volunteers, but I think it's doubly true in such a 52 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:03.000 difficult ministry as sidewalk outreach and and so as I was thinking through this, 53 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:11.280 I was thinking through just personally, how do we seem to most effectively draw 54 00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.959 volunteers in and what seemed to be the most important strategies and having them remain 55 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.680 with us. Yeah, so the first one, and I think it is 56 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:28.040 above and beyond the the single most important and effective strategy, is developing relationships, 57 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:32.040 using the relationships you have develop, looked to that personal touch and drawing 58 00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.839 those people in. Yeah, so by that I mean, you know, 59 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:44.160 friends of current counselors, churches of current counselors, and having them reach out, 60 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:48.519 your current counselors reaching out in some form. Yeah, yeah, it's 61 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:53.079 kind of like the dynamic of the lowhanging fruit, like who are the people 62 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.240 most likely to get involved is going to be the people that know you the 63 00:04:56.279 --> 00:05:00.639 best, that know you that you're not a crazy right, because a lot 64 00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.800 of what comes a kind of the caricature that comes with this Ministry is, 65 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.000 you know, just some loony birds that are out on the sidewalk at an 66 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:13.120 abortion clinic just protesting. Right, people that know you that that might be 67 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.079 a turnoff, that caricature might be a turnoff for them. Everyone to get 68 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.079 involved when they know you and they know that you're not that, and so 69 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.439 they know that what you're doing, what you're asking them to do, is 70 00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:25.199 not that. Yeah, so let me give you an example of two personal 71 00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:29.279 touches that happened yesterday that were kind of unexpected. They were not quite this, 72 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.720 they were not friends, but it was a personal touch where one person 73 00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.199 happened to pull in. She claimed to be when I was on the sidewalk, 74 00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:41.040 claimed to be a Christian and and was furious with us. She she 75 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:45.240 said, you shouldn't be screaming at women and blaming women and and and what 76 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:47.040 do you do to help them? Anyway, and I was able to then 77 00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:50.959 calmly explain to her what we do to help and she said frankly, I'm 78 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:56.160 surprised and I gave she was willing to take our information then and really think 79 00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.279 about it. So there is a potential person who has been maybe now aged 80 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.120 in her feelings about sidewall counseling may decide as a Christian, she needs to 81 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:08.240 be out there. Yeah, but her she had the wrong impression. She 82 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.720 thought we were the crazies, that that much of the media her trays. 83 00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:17.240 The second personal touch was when I was shopping. It's in a retail store 84 00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.480 and a woman saw my t shirt at which said hope, hope is here, 85 00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.319 help us here, and she said tell me about that t shirt. 86 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:30.279 So I started telling her what I do. She started crying and and said 87 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:35.079 how very much needed this was. She was also a Christian and she then 88 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:39.079 we talked about her church, which is not involved, but her church had 89 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:43.160 had expressed an interest in being involved and through that personal touch, which was 90 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.600 a very positive one, she said she was going to talk to her church 91 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.399 and she was. She was really impressed. Yeah, I our ministry. 92 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:54.480 So personal touch. Maybe it is personal friends. Yeah, you already have 93 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:57.800 because they know you're not a coup, but maybe it is people that that 94 00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:03.519 you meet just not even looking for volunteers. Right. And and your personal 95 00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:09.319 touch and building that relationship can make a difference in whether people might consider coming 96 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:13.360 out to the sidewalk to volunteer. Yeah, another thing as far as in 97 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:17.160 this realm of personal touch, of course, family members, friends are people 98 00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.600 who, yeah, you want to get him out there on the sidewalk and 99 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:24.160 get them involved. But people in your small group at Church, yeah, 100 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:28.319 people that may be volunteer with other ministries that you volunteer with or something like 101 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.920 that. Really, I believe, the key, because you can try to 102 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:36.399 explain all day long what what we do and you can do a great job. 103 00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:40.480 You guys who are listening can probably do a great job of tearing down 104 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:43.759 the caricature of what we do and why people need to be involved. Right, 105 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.759 but at the end of the day, if you get him out there 106 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:49.240 on the sidewalk, then the Lord will do the work. Right. And 107 00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:55.879 we had a young lady yesterday, one of our volunteers, brought out just 108 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:59.600 to come and see the ministry, to shadow, just pray, just to 109 00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:03.560 come out and pray, right, and the Lord actually use that that lady 110 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.639 to engage with a lady who was Spanish speaking this lady came out. So 111 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:09.800 we have a volunteer. He's a regular volunteer. She invited a friend out. 112 00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:15.319 That friend came out just to pray. Happens to speak Spanish. Pretty 113 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.639 Miraculous Story. Happened to be from the same village, that same too, 114 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.040 any little speck of a town. Yeah, that this mom was from. 115 00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.040 Yeah, this mom come to the abortion center was from. We need somebody 116 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.519 to speak Spanish. Yeah, so, you know, going to the Mobiltra 117 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:31.439 Sounn it chose life, that that lady is now going to be hooked, 118 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.240 right would I would think so. She was not certain she would ever want 119 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.320 to do sidewalk can see, and she had just come because of her friend 120 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:43.240 right inviting her. And within five minutes I had warned her. Fortunately. 121 00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.440 I said, I know we normally do just tell people that they're going to 122 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.159 come and pray, but I do want you to know if we have a 123 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.600 Hispanic woman, we're going to ask you to speak with her. And she 124 00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:54.159 kind of like gulped and I said, but don't worry, we'll tell you 125 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.639 what to say. And then it was within five minutes, within five minutes 126 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:01.480 of her arriving, this up this woman pulls in. Yeah, it's Hispanic 127 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.480 women. So, yeah, great, great example of a personal touch. 128 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.639 Yeah, and yeah, absolutely. So, yeah, get people out there, 129 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:15.639 invite him to come out and just come out and pray and obviously don't 130 00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.399 pressure them to get involved. Don't lay a guilt trip on them. Let 131 00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.080 the Lord do that right. Get Him out there, get them seeing the 132 00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.120 women walk in. That's how the Lord got me involved, got me out 133 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.120 there. That's how he got you involved, Vicki got you out there to 134 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:30.720 see it with your own eyes and it's like I got to do something. 135 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.799 Yeah, and actually that feeds into what is the second, I think, 136 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:41.840 most effective strategy, which is social media, because I actually I did know 137 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:46.279 the person who ultimately was the one that ended up bringing me to the sidewalk, 138 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.799 but I knew of her only through social media right initially, and then 139 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.799 I would meet her. She was a Homeschooler, I was a homeschooler and 140 00:09:54.840 --> 00:09:58.039 she was in my homeschool group and she ended up being a facebook friend. 141 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:03.879 So I had watched her facebook post four years yeah, about what she was 142 00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:07.720 doing out here on the sidewalk, and for years I ignored it, right, 143 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:11.200 but then the lord got a hold of Mirror. It was just one 144 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.200 post. I think she had been standing out in a thunderstorm and I was 145 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.679 like, you've got to be kidding. Why would anyone do this? And 146 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:22.720 I'll end. I wanted to find out and that's what what brought me. 147 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.919 So social media is so important right one of the as a practical way to 148 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:33.080 use social media, one of the things that I do is every single morning 149 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.600 I put out a post about what happened on the sidewalk the day before and 150 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.600 I put a Bible verse, I put if there were saves, I put 151 00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:46.679 the number of saves or I put a highlight, something to attract people and 152 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:54.399 then ask for prayer. And this has attracted people that that are my facebook 153 00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.000 friends, some of which know me but some of which are only know me 154 00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.200 through facebook. Yeah, to come out and find out about the ministry. 155 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:09.679 I really think social media is a very important avenue for recruitment. So so 156 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:15.080 if you're not doing that and you're hurting for volunteers, I would recommend that 157 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:20.120 you really give that a shot. Yeah, and there's so many different social 158 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.919 media now the only one I'm on is facebook, but I have found facebook 159 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:30.159 to be very important. But now there's so many other things that you could 160 00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:31.360 do, Tick Tock. I don't even know what all of them are called. 161 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:37.960 So many social media platforms and right ways to communicate. Yeah, yeah, 162 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:43.440 yeah, so, so that's a really valuable tool. Yeah, yeah, 163 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.600 and and course, tying into that is not just putting out the need, 164 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.840 like you mentioned, right, sharing stories, man, stories are so 165 00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:58.759 important people. People don't volunteer with organizations, they volunteer with people, Right. 166 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.679 People don't connect with orzations necessarily. The connect with people, right. 167 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:07.080 People don't connect with with causes necessary, they connect with stories. Yeah. 168 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:11.639 And so when you share a story on social media of a mom that chose 169 00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:13.759 life or of a struggle that you had, I mean I don't think it 170 00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:18.600 all needs to be good stories. Some of it can be. I've shared 171 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.360 on social media the fact that some point fifty people are inside of the abortion 172 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.840 center. Right like that needs to be shared, yeah, so that people 173 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:31.879 see, okay, there's fifty people inside the abortion center, there's a handful 174 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.639 of people out on the sidewalk. We need more folks and, you know, 175 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.440 put the needs out there. You do have to be careful not to 176 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:45.960 come across as being just needy and woe is me. People don't get on 177 00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:48.720 board with that stuff. Who is a war? We we're out here, 178 00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.200 only two of us, and there's so many people do that, like glorying 179 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.759 what God is doing. Yeah, there's two people out there. There's two 180 00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:56.399 people out there. Praise God for that. We need more people. Let's 181 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.639 put it out there in a positive light. I need more feet on the 182 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:05.559 sidewalk. is a reality. But again, sharing stories, sharing what God 183 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.279 is doing. Again, not just babies saved, but maybe people that came 184 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:13.879 to know the Lord. We've had people just walking by at the abortion center 185 00:13:13.960 --> 00:13:18.559 for some other reason come to know the Lord. So many stories. Some 186 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.039 of you guys and other cities you know. I think of like in Manhattan, 187 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:26.120 some of the experiences that they've had with people just walking by. Like, 188 00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:30.240 share those stories. Let people know God's doing something and they just about 189 00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.919 abortion. It's about the Gospel. Yeah, and you know, our model 190 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:39.080 for that is Jesus. Jesus shared stories. The parables were a major way 191 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:45.279 for Jesus to convey the message he wanted to convey. Yeah, so use 192 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:50.840 that that. I don't know desire of all human beings to really hear a 193 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:56.440 good story, because there are good stories, miraculous stories that happen out on 194 00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.720 the sidewalk and they really can draw people in. Yes, story of post 195 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:07.519 abortive moms and their despair shows again we would prefer to show the positive side 196 00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.519 of what we do, but I think showing the negative side of abortion in 197 00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:18.120 a compelling way, like through a tragic story, can also encourage people to 198 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:22.320 recognize we need to be out there stopping this as best we can. So 199 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:28.159 stories are important. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then next something that 200 00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:31.840 we've seen, and this is one of the intentions behind the prayer walk, 201 00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.399 and as we talk about love life, and I won't lay out the whole 202 00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.720 vision of love life here on the podcast, you guys hopefully know about love 203 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:43.600 life and The the vision of love life that comes from the story of Nehemiah 204 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.519 and Neamiah hears. So the kind of four steps of a church getting getting 205 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.600 involved comes from neamiah story. The four steps are here, pray, go 206 00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:58.240 and connect. So the story Neamiah start near my chapter one, near my 207 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.559 here's the tragic truth. The walls of DREWSALEM are broken down. He prays 208 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:07.320 and fasts, then he goes out to Jerusalem where the walls were broken down, 209 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.080 and then he begins to connect people on the wall to rebuild the walls. 210 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:16.120 Yeah, and so when a church gets on board with the adoption week, 211 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:20.159 they hear Sunday the tragic truth of abortion. The moral walls are broken 212 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.759 down in our city. How many abortions are taking place to the just wreckage 213 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:28.799 that's there? Yeah, in the walls are broken down. We encourage that 214 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.799 church to pray and fast on that Wednesday for the walls to be rebuilt and 215 00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:37.279 then to go on Saturday. And the go piece is the prayer walk. 216 00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.759 And at the end of the prayer walk we encourage them to connect, and 217 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:41.879 that's beginning to connect people that have come to the prayer walk, that have 218 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.080 been exposed to the issue of abortion where it takes place and whose hearts are 219 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:48.879 engage because they've already heard the tragic truth, they've already prayed and fast and 220 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:54.600 they've seen it with their own eyes in the prayer walk. We appeal to 221 00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.039 them, Hey, get involved in sidewalk out reach. Yeah, get involved 222 00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.200 in mentoring, foster care and adoption post aboard of healing. We have different 223 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:07.639 connection pieces, but the sidewalk out reach component is is one of the most 224 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.879 like, I want to say, scary, but also one of the most 225 00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:18.919 engaging aspects where we connect people. Yeah, and so I think when we 226 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:22.039 have a need for sidewalk counselors in a particular are particular city, we can 227 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.480 talk to those who are doing the prayer walk and say, Hey, let's 228 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:29.519 focus on this connection piece for a couple weeks and let's let's get people connected 229 00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.440 here. Yeah, and and it is, I think, effective if a 230 00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:37.240 sidewalk counselor who has been in the trenches for a while gets in front of 231 00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:42.080 those prayer Walk People and tells the story, uses a story to capture their 232 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:47.960 hearts and then expresses the the need. And how they express the need. 233 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:51.519 I think is important and that feeds into our next point. Yeah, which 234 00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:57.200 is that general needs people tend to ignore, right, but a specific need, 235 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:03.119 we're at a specific time, specific number, specific day when volunteers are 236 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:07.880 needed. If that is expressed, I think people are sometimes more willing to 237 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.880 look at their schedule and say hey, I I could feel that this fits 238 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.640 into my sketch. All. Yeah, so, yeah, and so what 239 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.039 we mean by that is you can put a general need out of there. 240 00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:22.400 Hey, we need more sidewalk counselors, we need more people out here on 241 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:27.279 the sidewalk and people think, oh well, I'll pray for them to have 242 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:33.519 people and maybe I'll consider doing that. But in people put it on the 243 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.480 back burner when you don't get specific with it. Y, if you get 244 00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:40.880 specific, not just we need more people, but we want to cover Wednesday 245 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:45.000 and Thursday and right now all we have is a team from nine to twelve 246 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:48.000 on Thursday. Right, we need a team from nine to twelve on Wednesday. 247 00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.160 We need a Te a team from twelve to three on on Wednesday and 248 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.119 Thursday or whatever, and that team consists of three people. So if you 249 00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:00.559 can get specific, we need three people from non to twelve on Wednesday. 250 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:04.559 People can see that all. Maybe I can feel one of those slots. 251 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:08.559 Yeah, and when people can see they're actually having an impact on that number. 252 00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:12.039 So once you commit to volunteer, when somebody commits the volunteer, Hey, 253 00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.279 we need one more person, we need two more people here. Can 254 00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.519 you commit? Will you put those needs out there specifically? People will meet 255 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.880 specific needs, be more inclined, I will say, to meet specific needs 256 00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:27.000 rather than just general appeals. Yeah, and I know you often say if 257 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:33.480 you explain the why, you don't need to push so heavily into the how 258 00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:41.680 and and in it I want to apply this this specific area to that statement, 259 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.119 explaining the why. So if you put out a specific need, like 260 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:51.240 say you tell a story about at one o'clock, when our teams had mostly 261 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:56.480 gone home, but are very dedicated, counselor happened to be there just because 262 00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:00.079 she just couldn't go home. But that's literally the afternoon team's time. We 263 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:06.079 didn't have anyone in the afternoon, but she stayed and a mom came out 264 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:11.920 and told us that she had changed her mind but she really needed our help 265 00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:15.839 and we were able to share that, the specific help that we could give, 266 00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:21.279 and that really really solidified that decision for life. But we can't do 267 00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:25.200 that if we don't have afternoon teams. So presenting the specific need the specific 268 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:30.160 time, and that maybe why that specific time is is is so critical through 269 00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.880 a story. So see, all these things that we're pointing out as areas 270 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:38.720 that help recruitment do all overlap. Yeah, and using all of them, 271 00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:41.920 I think, becomes the most effective. Yeah. So, yes, specific 272 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:45.880 need. Yeah, and we can't break down for you what those specific needs 273 00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:51.440 are. We normally ask for a commitment no more than four hours really three 274 00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:55.079 hours is kind of your sweet spot, I think. Yeah, and so 275 00:19:55.759 --> 00:20:00.039 the abortion center opens it no thirty between and thirty over here. So we 276 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.480 want volunteers to be here from nine to twelve and then from twelve to three. 277 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:07.960 There's a little bit of overlap. There's people come and of course, 278 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:11.519 you know, people may show up a little bit earlier, hopefully, than 279 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.440 a little bit later, right, but you know, being specific. None 280 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:19.599 to twelve is good whatever. Maybe it's maybe it's eight to eleven or something 281 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:22.599 from you guys or yeah, or whatever. You have to figure that out. 282 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:26.720 But yeah, I think it's helpful again to get specific with the needs 283 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:30.480 that you have. And I know it can be discouraging. Yeah, I've 284 00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:36.240 been discourage because I've done all of these strategies at times and we're still finding 285 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:41.279 we are short on volunteers. And I would say then, next strategy is 286 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:48.640 not really a strategy as much as a character quality. Persevere, don't give 287 00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:52.680 up. Don't give up, don't don't think that just because the strategy didn't 288 00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:56.680 work in the first month, don't stop right keep doing it. We know 289 00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.839 these strategies work, but you do need to keep at them. And Am 290 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:04.960 my own story. It was years right hearing social media reports and there was 291 00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:11.559 a cumulative effect of seeing the faithfulness of that person that was posting those reports. 292 00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:17.880 That was part of what finally made me say this is not just some 293 00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:23.799 you know, unimportant thing that she's doing, or she wouldn't possibly be stippy 294 00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:29.960 there here year after year with all of these terrible conditions she faces. So 295 00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.759 it was her perseverance, in addition to the strategy of posting right Ya, 296 00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:38.119 that ultimately brought me out there. Yeah, and I'll say just a little 297 00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.000 word of advice here in line of perseverance, you certainly want to persevere, 298 00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:45.799 press in, stay out there and do what God's called you to do, 299 00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:48.359 even if people aren't coming along in the numbers that you want them to. 300 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:53.319 But also, you can't do it all. You do need volunteers and so 301 00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:59.400 for you to take full ownership of the sidewalk and because they're doing abortions, 302 00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:02.759 maybe Monday through Friday or whatever it might be. Yeah, you feel like 303 00:22:02.799 --> 00:22:06.200 you need to be out there every Monday through Friday. You cannot do it 304 00:22:06.240 --> 00:22:10.279 all. I cannot, and and you know, you got to be careful 305 00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:14.720 not to appear on social media whatever to come across like you do have it 306 00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:18.119 all handled, because people will let you handle it right. They will cheer 307 00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:21.079 you on to do the stuff as long as you'll do it. Al As, 308 00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:25.279 it looks like you've got it. Yeah, so I would say you 309 00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:27.599 definitely need to be careful not to burn yourself out. Certainly don't be out 310 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:32.279 there every day. You need to disconnect. This is an intense ministry. 311 00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:36.599 You need to give yourself time to disconnect spiritually, emotionally, mentally in all 312 00:22:36.599 --> 00:22:40.559 that stuff, and trust in the Lord to raise up the people in his 313 00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:44.240 timing. You know, the Bible says, and I think that's that's next 314 00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:48.039 on here's to pray for laborers. So pray for these labors. The Bible 315 00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.240 says specifically pray the the harvest is plentiful, but the labors are for you. 316 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.359 Therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest that he might send labors. 317 00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.799 He Jesus, doesn't say, therefore, you need to labor yourself to death 318 00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:03.880 until the the fields are gleaned like they need to be or whatever. No, 319 00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:07.680 he says you need to pray for labors in the harvest. So those 320 00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.200 times you're not be able to be out there, don't lay a guilt trip 321 00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:15.119 on yourself. Put that care, that concern, off on the Lord. 322 00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.480 Pray to him to bring people and, as he does, of course, 323 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:25.119 plugging them in as appropriate. Yeah, but persevere, but don't wear yourself 324 00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:30.920 out right right. The next one is is the importance of that first training 325 00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:33.079 session, and this goes along the lines of how do you keep volunteers, 326 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.240 more than recruiting them. But so you've gotten someone say that's that's going to 327 00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.839 come out. And I know in general we say they really should not do 328 00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:47.240 anything other than pray and observe, but I think in addition to them praying 329 00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:51.519 and observing, they should be there should be targeted, specific training. Yeah, 330 00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:56.599 where there is someone experienced standing alongside them, helping them to process what 331 00:23:56.640 --> 00:24:03.000 they're seeing, explaining what they're seeing, giving the philosophy of why we're out 332 00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:07.319 there, the biblical reason for why we're out there. I do that those 333 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.079 training sessions, basically following what we call our one hundred and one training, 334 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:18.240 where I give really every major point we raise in our more specific one one 335 00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:25.720 video training of new volunteers, because I want them to know that they are 336 00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:30.440 going to be trained specifically in how to do all these things and I want 337 00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:36.799 them to be able to see everything they're seeing from the lens of our ministry. 338 00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:41.359 Yeah, which they may not get if there is no one kind of 339 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.880 beside them. Yeah, telling them what's happening, why it's happening, why 340 00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:49.000 we say what we say, whatever. And I have found that if that 341 00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:55.759 first training session, when they show up and that first time is spent really 342 00:24:55.799 --> 00:25:00.640 fruitfully explaining and being right there next to them, you hear all kinds of 343 00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.440 stories from them. You help them process the emotions, you're there for the 344 00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:08.519 questions and I think those are the ones that are most likely to return. 345 00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:14.799 Yeah, so I think you cannot underestimate the power of that first time when 346 00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:18.519 them, but that be a really fruitful experience. Yeah, yeah, I 347 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:21.839 agree. We call that shadowing. Right, right when a person comes out, 348 00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:25.319 they connected love life some way, maybe through a prayer walk or go 349 00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:30.240 on the website, through another volunteer, another missionary that invites them out. 350 00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:34.200 That first time they come out, we call it shadowings. All they're doing 351 00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:37.599 is they're shadowing the team that's out there or the individual that's out there. 352 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.480 Maybe not have a big team, maybe it's just you, but let them 353 00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:45.039 come and shadow you just watch we tell them we don't want you to engage 354 00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.720 right now, we want you to pray and observe and ask questions. And 355 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:51.640 so you do your thing right if it's just you out there in the person 356 00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:53.839 shadow, when you you do what you normally do. Yeah, and then 357 00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:57.759 when you when it's appropriate, step maybe over to where they're at praying and 358 00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:03.400 observing and say you have any questions and explain to them why you're doing what 359 00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:07.119 you're doing. Yeah, I think laying out the boundaries so that you don't 360 00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:08.920 have to deal with the police, because we had new people that come out 361 00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.000 for the first time and if we haven't clearly explained the boundaries, they go 362 00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:15.839 and walk on the abortion center property. They just don't know any better, 363 00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.200 right. They're thinking, you know whatever, they don't even know where the 364 00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:22.400 boundaries are at their thinking they're in the parking lot of another business eventually as 365 00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:25.319 abortion cent or something like that, and so I think, you know, 366 00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:27.160 just some practical stuff you'd lay out on that shadowing, but also, like 367 00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:32.519 you said, giving the philosophy of the ministry is helping them along in the 368 00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:37.160 process to feel like they're equipped at you're they're not just out there kind of 369 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:40.200 thrown out there to the wolves, right, but they're getting some training. 370 00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:44.559 Yeah, they're being coached and talked through the thing. Yeah, by somebody 371 00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:47.480 that actually knows what they're doing. Yeah, that may or may not be 372 00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:49.680 possible. As you were talking, I was thinking when there's only two of 373 00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:53.480 us out there and we happen to have scheduled someone that I'm supposed to be 374 00:26:53.480 --> 00:27:00.240 training, it is less possible for me to just stand beside them the whole 375 00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.160 time. Idiot. They will have to just watch what we do sometimes and 376 00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.799 then when we're able to step back and talk with them. Ideally, though, 377 00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.039 if you can have a large enough team that you really can devote your 378 00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:15.480 your time, yeah, with them that that first session. I think it's 379 00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:21.559 really effective. Yeah, absolutely. I know one years in years past, 380 00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:25.279 the way we did thing is things as far as raising up new volunteers, 381 00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:29.759 as we'd put a general call out there on social media to any church partners 382 00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:33.599 that we had and say we're doing a classroom training, and that's how we 383 00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:36.400 started. We would start with the classroom training. We're doing a sidewalk one 384 00:27:36.440 --> 00:27:40.440 hundred and one training. Anyone who's interested in doing sidewalk ministry, come and 385 00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:44.000 be a part of that and we would get, I don't know, Fifteen, 386 00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:47.160 twenty people, yeah, at a time. We do it every other 387 00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:51.000 month or something like that, maybe every quarter. And so we would find 388 00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:53.240 we'd have a group of fifteen or twenty people, yeah, and we'd pour 389 00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:56.200 into them. We'd actually trained them before they were even out there. It's 390 00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:59.839 kind of a looking back, kind of a weird way to do it right. 391 00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:03.680 We would give them training of how to do this before they actually wear 392 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:07.200 out there even saw it, which, you know, could be good, 393 00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:10.799 could be bad, but either way that's how we did it. But we 394 00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:14.960 would find that after we trained fifteen to twenty people and then brought him out 395 00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:17.799 there, part of that training was in a classroom. Then the other the 396 00:28:17.799 --> 00:28:21.240 second half of it, during that day, we did it on Saturdays, 397 00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:22.960 would bring them out to the abortion center and then they would be able to 398 00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:27.200 experience it right, but of the twenty people or so, we'd have one 399 00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:30.799 or two that would actually be serious. Yeah, yeah, and we started 400 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:33.119 thinking like we're putting together. It's essentially an event that we're putting together. 401 00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:36.319 You know, you got to get breakfast for people if you're going to have 402 00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:40.200 them there early, and you gotta have a venue and all that stuff, 403 00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:42.279 and it's like, man, we're putting energy into these events, he's training 404 00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:45.319 events and only getting one or two people out of it. Is there a 405 00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:49.759 better way? And the better way is because reality is they were in the 406 00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:52.960 classroom. That was a safe place to be and they had all these notions 407 00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.319 about what sidewalk ministry was, but when you brought him out there to the 408 00:28:56.319 --> 00:29:00.480 sidewalk, a lot of those notions were dispelled. Like this is this is 409 00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:06.400 a intense ministry. Yeah, this is a pretty difficult ministry, and you're 410 00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:07.880 not just going to be out there it's the savior of the world. When 411 00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:10.920 you show up, because of how great you are, women are going to 412 00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:14.119 flock to you and choose life. Like there's some difficulties. Yeah, and 413 00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:18.039 so that's why people would come with these good intentions and then when they're exposed 414 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:22.200 to it, they would just they would disappear right exactly when you follow up 415 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.279 with them. You get ghosted right. Yeah, and so we found that 416 00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.880 shadowing was a better way. Let them come out and see it first, 417 00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:33.440 and we actually asked them to shadow three times, come out three times, 418 00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:37.160 see the ministry, ask questions and then after the third time. We asked 419 00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:41.200 him, okay, are you serious about getting committed? Yeah, and get 420 00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:44.359 plugged into this ministry. If they are, then they fell out an application 421 00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:48.720 and if their applications approved, they're not a crazy or anything like that. 422 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:52.680 We send them the video training, the one hundred and one training that you've 423 00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:55.559 mentioned a couple of times. Yeah, and then after they've completed that, 424 00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:57.240 that's when we plug them into a team. Which Day can you volunteered? 425 00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:02.160 Monday, Wednesday, afternoon, good morning. We plug them into a team 426 00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:07.240 and then there's ongoing training that we do. But all along they're being kind 427 00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:12.279 of they're being coached through, they're being encouraged and they're being challenged and, 428 00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:15.279 you know, you kind of push them out of the nest a little bit. 429 00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:18.319 You put a pamphlet in second time they come in shadow. We actually 430 00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:21.640 we get them to engage in some level. Put a pamphlet in their hand, 431 00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:25.240 put him at the driveway, something like that. Yeah, it's what 432 00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:29.759 we've seen the IT's the most effective way, I think, to train people 433 00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:33.599 in Sidewalk Ministry and to vet people who have interest in sidewalk right, I 434 00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.480 agree, and letting them know what the process of training will be. I 435 00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:41.960 think encourages them to know there will be ongoing training, yeah, for them. 436 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:45.240 And then our last point took to close out this podcast is a point 437 00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:51.680 you rate alluded to earlier. But don't forget to praise God no matter what, 438 00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:55.759 because all of us can fall into that trap of discouragement, disillusionment, 439 00:30:55.880 --> 00:31:00.319 bitterness whatever, blaming the church whatever, and we don't want to fall into 440 00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.200 that trap and the easiest way to hold that at bay is to look for 441 00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:07.559 the positive and praise God for what you do have out there. Yeah, 442 00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:12.839 if I mean you've got I remember years ago we've got six days they're doing 443 00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:18.000 abortions here the latter abortion center. Really only one day that we have consistent 444 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:22.599 coverage out there. Yeah, and it was always like where's the church yet? 445 00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:26.960 Right man, we need people. It took some time, but God 446 00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:30.839 raised up the people. Yeah, and I think by His grace he gave 447 00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:38.279 us, he gave us a way to kind of temper our discouragement and disillusionment 448 00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:41.559 with the church, like where's the church at? And we're able to just 449 00:31:42.279 --> 00:31:45.880 be patient and glory in what God has done. See, a lot of 450 00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.880 times we can look at what we don't have. Right, we don't have 451 00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:51.680 people out here. We don't and we can miss what we do have. 452 00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:56.359 If you've got a handful to three volunteers, man, these are two or 453 00:31:56.440 --> 00:32:00.599 three people that are speaking out a place of death. They're speaking life, 454 00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:05.400 they're shining light in darkness. Listen, the Bible says God can save by 455 00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:07.759 many or by few. Now we want many, yeah, and I think 456 00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:12.799 the goal is many. We need ultimately, we need many people out there 457 00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:15.440 so we can all bear the burden together. Yeah, but God can save 458 00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:19.839 by few as well. So let's just have confidence in the Lord. Let's 459 00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:22.200 put it on him, let's pray to the Lord of the harvest. And 460 00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:24.240 just please know, guys, as you're listening, if you're one of our 461 00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:28.480 love life cities, we're praying for you constantly for God to raise up people. 462 00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:31.200 Yes, for cities where you're maybe you're not a love life city, 463 00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:35.759 we're still praying. We're praying God, throughout the nation, is raising up 464 00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:38.279 people to be a voice for the voiceless and to bring his Gospel to these 465 00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:42.240 places of darkness. So just know that we're praying for you, guys. 466 00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:45.559 We put these podcasts out to encourage you guys.
