Recruitment

a Biblical thought...
When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. 40And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. (Luke 2:39-40)

a Book thought...
The primary way all of us really learn is by doing and by making mistakes. (p136 Logan & Miller) a Dave thought...
It was interesting to learn that the Australian Defence Force spent $31.8 million dollars on recruitment in 2006. As we are an Army also I often wonder if we put enough thought and resources behind our recruitment strategies. We obviously value candidates and many make a real effort to recruit potential officers but do we also value soldier recruitment in the same way? Unless we start recruiting and training soldiers our pool for officer recruitment will continue to diminish. Maybe it is time to put more effort and resources into recruitment as without soldiers and officers we will become like any other church and fail to be the Army God has called us to be.
Just a thought.
