Let’s Hear What Leaders Are Saying…

Tremendous Help to Us!

God bless! Your gifts & ministry are tremendous help to us! 8 1/2 SECRETS is a wonderful, practical book!  Rev.Mary Miller, Covenant Pastor, Middletown, CT

Appreciating Volunteers Time and Talents

8 1/2 SECRETS’s practical advice will prevent the 1-hour volunteer meeting from turning into a 3-hour complaint fest where nothing gets done. Volunteers give their time and talent “to make a difference!”  June Kenny shows ways for our churches and non-profits to give volunteers a rewarding and fulfilling experience.  Non-Profit Volunteer Leader

Get ready for growth! Great read!

I’m a Senior Pastor and volunteerism is always a challenge. This resource has given some clear & practical ways to not only get volunteers but create an environment where they desire to come. It will help us keep the volunteers we already have! Each chapter is filled with practiacal ways to tailor the chapter to your particular context. It’s a must read!   Rev. Harvey Carey, Sr. Pastor, Citadel Covenant Church, Detroit

Equips leaders in practical ways

8 1/2 SECRETS equips leaders in very practical ways for the incredible high calling they have to recruit, train, empower and care for volunteers. Awesome gift. And thank you for continuing to use your gifts for the glory of God in and through the local church. Rev. Garth McGrath, Superintendent, Great Lakes Region, Evangelical Covenant Church

Training materials well-researched

Each topic had its own distinctive leadership enhancement element. It was clear that the materials had been well researched and had a high degree of validity and reliability.  J.Idzior, Salvation Army A.R.C. Executive

The concepts were simple . . . but profound

The concepts were simple . . . but profound. Not so difficult in steps . . . that I can’t ‘remember’ to do them in the future . . . and with practice hopefully will be easier.  Assoc.Pastor, a church of 3,000+

Tremendous program – very understandable

We’re blessed to have June Kenny. This was a tremendous program–very understandable and the presentation was outstanding.  Recovery Ministry Leader

More effective with our volunteers

We need to see more of this type of training. This not only helps us to be more effective with our volunteers but also in our family & professional lives!  Recovery Ministry Leader

Truly benefits staff & volunteers

8 ½ SECRETS is a very detailed and life-changing book that, if implemented, will truly benefit paid staff and volunteer leaders. As an ‘un-paid staff leader of volunteers myself, I highly recommend it to church leaders. Your volunteers will be impacted for life  Men’s Ministry Leader, OakPointe Church, Novi, MI

Huge impact in our ministry

8 ½ SECRETS is an invaluable resource for EVERY ministry leader! I highly recommend it. June Kenny has captured all the key ingredients for a sustainable Volunteer Base – how to do it with practical steps, detail and encouragement to the reader. I have personally used the techniques and strategies she has presented to our teams in leadership workshops over the years. June Kenny, has made a huge impact in our ministry.  Founder, LifeCare Christian Center

This book is a must read!

Having served alongside June Kenny in ministry with the responsibility of overseeing 500+ volunteers in my ministry area alone, I often sought out June’s insights with volunteer development.  8 ½ SECRETS is packed with practical material that you’ll come back to again and again to equip others to increase their leadership skills. If you are just starting off in ministry this book is a must read! For the seasoned leader, this tool will help you sharpen your edge. The section on The Top Ten Reasons Why Volunteers Quit was worth it alone.  Exec. Pastor, 1st MB Church, Wichita, KS

I heard one Pastor put it rather succinctly, “God won’t give you more volunteers if you aren’t taking care of the ones you …

April 25, 2019 By //  by June Kenny Leave a Comment

Are you tired of hearing volunteers say NO? How do we get people off of the bench and into the game? A good question, but maybe not the only question that needs asking.  While motivators are important, they are often not enough to overcome systemic demotivators. Why not take a look at the flip-side?
