Pro Sound Web: Many years ago, we hosted a three day worship arts conference.
Not like the conferences I was paid to do, traveling around the country with large budgets and excessive amounts of gear.
This one confined me to my home church, with no budget and no warehouse full of touring grade audio toys.

Growing up in the church I understand exactly what it means to find anyone you can to help with an event because you need it. People tend to turn away from helping when money is not involved. However, you find those people who are just curious about the job and they end up thriving. One of the hard things about asking for help from people you don’t know is the fact that they don’t work and process things like you. You have to find a way to either adjust your standards or guide them towards the way you work. Either way is difficult and time consuming, but sticking with the understanding that people do want to help you makes the journey and outcome all the more satisfying. Encouragement goes a long way when working with free volunteers and even workers that are getting paid for their help. Once that bond of trust is created the group can move forward and grow together.
