Volunteer Ministries
Rick Warren reminds us in his "What on Earth am I here For?" booklet that we were custom-designed by God with talents, gifts, skills, and abilities in order to serve God by serving others. . The Bible calls serving others "our minisitry". Contrary to popular opinoin, God wired everyone to have a ministry, or serving niche. The way you are wired is not an accident. We were given these things by God to benefit others not ourselves and sometimes we forget this. Look below at the different types of service opportunities and see where you "fit" best according to your gifts and passions. If you don't know just try one and see if it stirs your heart - you will know right away if you are using your gifts. Keep trying until you find your "serving niche"!
