NCD Church Survey Question 7: I feel my task in our church is a positive challenge that stretches my faith (Gift-based ministry).
The purpose of this series is to offer some basic “entry points” for beginning to explore your Minimum Factor graph.
This post is for those whose Minimum Factor is Gift-based Ministry.
Two initial points need to be made.
Gather a group together in your church to map the needs of the surrounding community. Share your findings with others in the church, including the leadership.
Write down the names of three friends or relatives, then write down three needs for each. Make time to offer a short prayer for each person every day based on those needs.
Ask yourself and someone within your sphere of influence (who seems to be travelling smoothly on their Christian journey), what kind of challenge you should be taking on if it were to cause you to ask God for help whenever attempting it.
