Something magical happens when a person’s search for significance collides with an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than themselves. They begin a journey of becoming who God uniquely created them to be… a part of God’s story. I don’t know about you, but there are few things in life that give me greater joy than to watch that unfold!

Think about your own life. Aren’t your most memorable moments the ones when someone came into your life and helped you discover your true north. That’s what we’re called to do. Leaders that create significance have a life calling bigger than themselves. A new volunteer is like an unopened present with layers and layers of wrapping. As leaders, we get to peel back the layers as we give opportunities for them to use their gifts to make a meaningful difference. God provides each one of us with unique gifts so that we can work together to advance his kingdom.

How do you help peel back the layers for your volunteers to experience significance in the roles in which they serve?
