They say that includes: recruiting, training and supporting volunteers. I guess that kind of tells you what I do  but really, what I find myself more involved in is  coordinating . It is kind of funny because I have never thought of myself as a  recruiter , and all the  staff training stuff I leave in another s capable hands, to do  so that leaves me with role of  supporting staff . Now that is what I love to do!!</p><p> From my perspective, God is doing the  recruiting or  calling  I can do what I can to let people know what the needs are  but God is the one who is prompting hearts to be involved. When it comes right down to it  I really don t want the job of  recruiting because then I might be tempted to turn to competitive tactics of the corporate world; things like  why we are better than the next guy , or arm twisting type bullying, or & you fill in the blanks. Believe me - I am simply not interested in any of that!!  Recruiting is not my thing!!</p><p> However, it brings incredible joy and overwhelming encouragement to my heart when God leads people to volunteer and I have the privilege of writing their name down on my big white board and guiding or directing them to the role best suited to their gifts and skills.</p><p> The white board that we have in our board room currently has a 2-fold purpose.</p> <ol> <li>It helps me keep track of who is coming and what roles still need to be filled for each camp</li><li> It gives me (and all of us in the office) a daily reminder of the above and encourages us to pray for these things as we go about our work throughout the day.</li> </ol> <p> Now, we are attempting to combine the white board tool with the internet tool, for an even greater impact: here it is for all to see!! Our prayer is that by making this available to you it will:</p> <ol> <li>Let you see all the camp programs we are offering.</li><li> Keep you informed and current of staffing needs for each of those camps.</li><li> Encourage you to pray for the individuals who are confirmed for coming, but also for the spots that are yet to be filled.</li><li> Thrill your heart to praise God as you see the board turn from white to red!!</li><li> Help you plan for the summer, if you are interested in coming to camp.</li> </ol> <h3>Here is how it works:</h3> <ul> <li>The roles required for each camp are listed vertically on the left hand side.</li><li> Each camp that we offer is listed across the top.</li><li> Names written in RED are the people who have confirmed for coming for a specific role.</li><li> The numbers written in BLUE with a p beside it (ie: 1.p) indicate that we have someone pending for that role. (someone thinking/praying about coming, but is not yet committed)</li><li> The numbers written in GREEN with an i beside it (ie: 1.i) indicates that we have invited someone for that role.</li><li> When someone commits to coming  the green or blue number will change to their name in red</li><li> If you find yourself interested in volunteering for a role, contact us  we d love to hear from you! I will make sure you get the appropriate paperwork to complete! Yay for paperwork!!</li> </ul> <p> Thanks  I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!! Our God is SO BIG  even a big white board is no match for HIM!! Watch and pray with us as we make preparations for the upcoming summer!</> <p> Sandy Bryant <a href="mailto:sandy@crowcamp.ca">sandy@crowcamp.ca</a> 403 563-5120</p> <h2><a href="/files/board.jpg">View The Board now</a></h2> </body></html>
