GIMME SOMETHING GOOD

• Book: Josh McDowell’s Handbook on Counseling Youth (http://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Counseling-Youth-Comprehensive-Equipping/dp/084993236X/ref=tmm_pap_title_0?ie=UTF8&qid=1420575596&sr=8-1)

TIPS FOR CHANGING CHURCHES 

1. Don't cut/overhaul any old programs your first 2 years, unless there is mass consensus.

2. Learn from your last experience.

3. Don't assume the grass is greener without a little manure.

4. Primary focus should be to build relationships with EVERYONE for first 24 months.

5. Bring energy & excitement, but also be an adult.

6. Don’t burn any bridges and work on building new ones.

7. Love your kids from where you left but remember they may now have a new guy working with them...let them become his kids.

8. Pray.
