Episode Details

How do we recruit and train tech volunteers so that we are not the only one who knows how to work the sound board on Sunday morning? How do we strategically say no to tech requests that would put us beyond our hours and cut into our family time?



David Horning joins us from Alaska to describe what has worked for him in these scenarios and more!



David works with Native New Life, a Native led ministry that has a passion for taking the gospel to rural Alaskan villages. He is also a Media Missionary at Creekside church.
