Gifts In Action

Gifts In Action
is a central  resource for people to get connected with a personal ministry
within the Church, using their God-given gifts and skills to
serve the Lord with natural energy and joy.

Gifts In Action manages an on-going and complete system to
engage church leadership (to understand ministry needs) and
people (to understand unique volunteer gifts, talents and
passions) which then connects both in manner that allows for
effective, rewarding and long-term gift-based service.

A Personal Area of  Ministry is a job that you would take complete ownership of.
You would think, What needs to be done with this? What would
make this better? What Is not working and needs to be fixed?
What is coming up that I need to take care of? How can I use
this area of ministry to support TOL and Christ’s mission to
Share the Word? What can I be responsible for? It is about
taking the first step, going the extra mile. Being through and
complete in this area, making sure the needs of this ministry
are met. It is you going to the leadership with needs and
requests, rather than leadership needing to make requests and
asking you to do things. It is making this area of ministry a
vital and working part of the body so that no one else needs to
think about it. It is how your passion comes out and your heart
is focused and you glorify God with your time, treasures and
actions through this personal area.
