Spiritual Aerobics When working with people from many churches, we are questioned over and over about spiritual gifts. What are they? Do I have one and how would I know? Or, some people just feel they have no special gift at all to offer in service to Jesus therefore possibly never experiencing the joy of being involved in an exciting ministry that brings spiritual growth and maturity of faith. In working with congregations we realize how important it is for individuals to discover that they are uniquely designed by God to live out an exclusive plan for them and that they have been given the tools they need to fulfill that plan. When people come to your church they not only bring spiritual gifts but also unique qualities of leadership styles, life experiences, faith journeys, and a God-given 'passion' for ministry. When all of these factors are uncovered and understood by each individual they are able to answer God's call to move out and follow His plan for their lives. This richly impacts the entire congregation. As we are reminded in Romans 12:4-5, just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. This workshop uses various assessment instruments to bring out each individual's spiritual gifts, leadership styles, personality types, passions, experiences and talents. It is a lively and fun experience for each participant- one that gets everyone talking and energized. This workshop series can be offered in a variety of ways. In a large church setting starting with the staff, church boards and ministry leaders might work best. For small churches having the whole congregation working together discovering more about themselves and each other can be a wonderful beginning to a more active and responsive congregation. The series can be given over a period of six weeks with each session lasting from 1 to 2 hours. It also works well as the basis for a weekend retreat presented on a Friday night and all day Saturday. Our fees are flexible and are based on several factors including: | |||||||||
