The comment I get the most is, “You are successful with your outreach, because you have a high number of volunteers”, and that is true.  But, it isn’t luck, random opportunity, or some extraordinary ability either. Often pastors are discouraged from starting restorative ministries because they believe they are already overworked and they don’t believe they will be able to gather enough volunteers to do the work. So hopefully I’ll be able to inspire a few of you to trust God in this, in less than 600 words.
