| Step 2 -- How do you motivate your group? |
|
Build excitement, compassion and action
- Competative: Multiple groups trying to out-do each other.
- Progress-O-Meter: Set a group goal / mini-goal per person and have a thermometer or gague to show the progress of your drive.
- Compassion: Because of the great need, how could I not give or impact one life.
- Guest Mission Speaker: come and talk about the the Rescue Mission and tell about
- Contribution: Everyone has something to give, value the act of giving, that’s what counts, not the substance of what was given.
- Social Games & Ice-Breakers
- Scavenger Hunt -- Have multiple teams go out and see who can be the most creative on gathering specific items on a list
