From the Back Cover
Here's how to find--and keep--them.
Every ministry needs capable and reliable volunteers, but so often it feels like no one is coming forward to fill our churches' needs. In reality, the people around us do want to volunteer their time and talents, but we often fail to connect potential volunteers to ministry opportunities or lose them somewhere along the way.
The Volunteer Effect is your start-to-finish guide to recruiting, leading, and retaining volunteers for your ministry. Using practical ideas and motivational principles delivered in an engaging narrative form, this book shows you how to
· recruit people to a mission, not just a role
· create low-risk entry points
· build a team that evokes pride
· train volunteers for the bigger picture
· and much more

He grew up in the mountains of Guatemala as a missionary kid, and then moved to Texas where he finished his high school and his Bachelors degree in Marketing.

During that time, Jonathan developed a passion for the creative process and for helping churches effectively and creatively communicate. He launched multiple websites and blogs, along with the help of many creative voices within the Church, that explore every facet of church creativity. Those websites grew and he eventually made the transition to self-employment so he could focus on managing those projects.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2024Practical strategies that are already used in various locations. Not just a book about theory…but how to! Also, greatly appreciated heartbeat and stories shared…phenomenal book about thr “why” as well!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2021I read this book on a recommendation from a friend and it covers some of the most important things necessary to keep volunteers engaged and on board with your organization's mission. So if you've ever had difficulty in the value proposition you offer to your volunteers, this might be the help you need to get focused.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2020Not only have I read this, I've purchased a few copies to give to friends in ministry. It's built on some solid principles and gives great ideas that any church can follow. When you read it, you won't be depressed by all you should be doing...you'll be inspired by what is possible.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2020Jason and Jonathan have another winner! If you lead volunteers, you need this book on your shelf.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2023I wish I had this book when I started leading my ministry three years ago! It has become my go-to manual and has transformed the way I view, equip, and invite my volunteers. I find myself revisiting it from time to time when I need advice on how to handle something. It not only provides practical advice, but addresses the heart posture that is needed behind it all. You’ll wish you read it sooner!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2020As someone who led volunteer teams in many organizations, I can tell you how important volunteers are. Getting them to serve, getting them skilled, and keeping them engaged is harder than it sounds (Well, it actually sounds difficult when you say it).
Jonathan and Jason not only have experience in this, but have gone to the experts and found out how to do those very things. Compiled in one handy guide for your convenience, this book is invaluable if you lead volunteer teams. Their conversational style makes it easy to read and follow. If you are a Pastor or team leader, you need to get copies for all of your leaders. It is a great resource.
