Pastor Bill Hybels believes that there is a new reality in America. The church has entered an era of growth and unprecedented spiritual opportunity to share the Gospel, yet at the same time we face a shrinking economy and a world in crisis. This poses a great resource challenge for the church. In order to reach out to people who are spiritually hungry, the church needs more people to be equipped to serve others. Hybels passionately believes the key to the future of the church is the equation "X (paid staff) + Y (volunteers) = Z (bearing much fruit for God's glory)." Churches cannot afford to continue hiring more and more staff with limited budgets. The key to resourcing the church is what Hybels calls "the Y factor." The Y factor is the pool of volunteers in every church. The great need of the church is to grow the church's volunteer base through the equipping ministry of church staffs. As churches recover the message of Ephesians 4:11-12 to "equip God's people for works of service" they will launch a Volunteer Revolution. People are just waiting to discover the gifts and passions that God has given them to serve others and then be invited to use those gifts and passions through the local church in order to advance the kingdom of God on Earth.Hybels believes that every church staff should be helping people discover their spiritual gifts, passions and place of service in order to meet the growing needs in our churches and world. Hybels makes a clarion call to move beyond volunteer retention to volunteer acquisition. By attracting, connecting, training, and sustaining volunteers, churches will mobilize people into places of service that will bring new meaning to their lives and understand why God put them on planet Earth. Hybels also outlines how we can build lifelong volunteers in the church through community, celebration, and commendation.… (més)
There are lots of stories here of actual volunteers within the author's megachurch, so readers will be inspired and encouraged to think creatively about how to get involved in their own churches and communities.
The emphasis in the book was definitely on serving in the local church, because in a megachurch, there is a huge variety of ministries reaching out to the community. In smaller churches, members very well may need to go outside the church to volunteer, and I wish this had been addressed more in the book - many pastors and church leaders don't really acknowledge any kind of service outside of the church building as counting for the Kingdom.
I really appreciated that Hybels warns against overcommitment and burnout, and counsels both members and leaders of a church about best practices for getting involved, which include jumping in and just trying out some different opportunities, but also using those experiences to learn more about yourself and how God has gifted you and given you particular passions, so that you can work toward using those things to bless others, and actually enjoy the work, and feel fulfilled by it, at the same time.

The Volunteer Revolution is full of inspiration and vision for "unleashing the the power of everybody" (as the subtitle reads). Hybels casts a compelling vision for the importance of volunteering within the context of a local church. While the book is not without points of application, it wasn't as pragmatic (systems and procedures) as I'd hoped. That said, if your commitment to volunteers within your church ministry begins to wain, Hybels' work is the perfect antidote. B ( )

I often agonize over book dedications. Not this time. From the day I committed to this project, I couldn't wait to dedicate it to the volunteer heroes of Willow Creek Community Church. They have lived out the "every-member-a-minister" dream more robustly than any local church I have ever known, anywhere in the world. I know it's supposed to be the leader's job to inspire and motivate the team. At Willow, truth be told, the team has motivated and inspired the leader more than they will ever know. I've said it to them hundreds of times, but I have to express it again right here and right now: Servants of Jesus Christ at Willow, I hod you in high regard. Way to go!

Some years ago a new staff member of our church asked me how I had the gall to ask people who are already busy at work or in the home to get involved as volunteers at church.

I'm pretty sure there's a good deed out there with your name written all over it.
