They keep looking at how others do it and learning new things.
They are students of their campus and they realize it changes a little bit every year.
They do not make wholesale changes to their ministry every year, rather they tweak and adjust as needed.
They know their strengths/gifts and weaknesses. They maximize their strengths and enlist and allow others to lead out and fill in those areas where they are not gifted.
They are grateful to others and express it.
They realize they have to raise some money.
They understand that administrating is part of the job and that when it is done well, it multiplies their ministry.
They realize that God is always at work and doing more than they realize.
They realize their strengths/gifts may adjust and vary some through the years and they adjust accordingly. God highlights different gifts in different seasons.
They are wise to the seasons on the campus and the needs and tasks for those different seasons.
They realize God's kingdom is bigger than they are and try to benefit college ministry as a whole both locally and beyond.
They do not cheat their family timewise, but work at family as seriously as their ministry.
They try to nurture those younger in college ministry than they are.
They realize that they should not do everything themselves, but never ask students to do something they are not willing to do. AND, no job is beneath them!
Arliss' books, A 3 Part College Ministry, Fixing a Broken College Ministry, and Reaching MORE College Students will all go up in price on Friday, March 8. Amazon.com/dp/B0BZ6Q7HSV.
