What I look for in Volunteer Leaders
(Random photo that I found...wish I had some glasses like this.)

Do they love Jesus
Do they care about students (legitimately care)
Do they desire to connect students to Jesus
So because of that, I see my job in looking for volunteers as finding these leaders who love Jesus and care about students then connecting them to each other.
The kicker I learned from watching Mark Beeson and Mark Waltz is finding leaders who can also love the students who don't yet care about Jesus. It's easy to love students who love Jesus but it's a whole different ballgame to love and care for students who could care less about Jesus. They're just showing up because there are cool game, cute girls, a crazy awesome band, some semi-funny speaker, or because it's just the "thing to do".
We're due up for some new leaders rolling through GSM

So true. These aren’t even church specific….EVERY student ministry leader needs to have these. Now, DC post on how to get rid of volunteers who don’t have all 3 and are already plugged in.

Hello DC,
I am just in awe and amazed reading this because God is doing some pretty awesome life changing things in my life right now and it involves becoming a GSM student leader! I sent you a Facebook message regarding this but I haven’t heard back from you yet. I imagine you don’t check it often as you have more important things to be doing. Please get back to me at your earliest convinience.
Thank you and take care, hope to hear from you soon!

I went to the web site called http://www.HisPlanMyPlan.com and this pastor made it for believers and unbelievers. I thought about that. We are to touch everyone – if they are open. You are right DC. I will be praying for your new volunteer leaders.
Those glasses are definitely sitting in my living room right now. (:
