The one thing above all though ... is get them out there doing ! I am sure you are though ! Put them out there, with an experienced worker, and let God train them ... great experience alongside your great input ... great results !
That's what we have been doing for some years anyway !
All the best

I'm the Diocesan Children's Adviser for Oxford Diocese - wondered if you wanted to have coffee sometime. I'd love to hear about your work and seek opportunities for co-working?!
Love to hear from you,
