I wrote,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I really believe there is no substitute for taking the time to tailor it to your particular church setting.\u00a0 You need to look at your particular ministries, the tasks required to do those ministries, and then determine which gifts are needed to accomplish those tasks.\u00a0 To do that you must be able to <a title=\"Spiritual Gifts List and Definitions\" href=\"\/\/mintools.com\/gifts-list.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">define the different spiritual gifts<\/a> and then discern what gifts are used in the different <a title=\"Spiritual Gifts Used in Ministry Areas\" href=\"\/\/mintools.com\/ministries.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ministry areas<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Ides to Show the Practical Use of Spiritual Gifts in the Church<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mintools-store.com\/products\/max-pak-spiritual-gifts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-22688 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/mintools.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/max-pak-dwnld.jpg\" alt=\"Spiritual Gifts Curriculum Gets Practical\" width=\"120\" height=\"132\" \/><\/a>In reflecting on practical ways to help people see <em>how<\/em> to use their spiritual gifts within their church body, I thought about the <a title=\"Everybody Has a Part Spritual Gifts Curriculum\" href=\"https:\/\/mintools-store.com\/products\/spiritual-gifts-curriculum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Everybody Has a Part Curriculum<\/a>, which is part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/mintools-store.com\/products\/max-pak-spiritual-gifts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MAX Pak<\/a>.\u00a0 It concludes with a lesson\u00a0suggesting\u00a0 that you end with what is often called a <a href=\"\/\/mintools.com\/blog\/ministry-fairs.htm\">ministry fair<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"clear: both;\">In a ministry fair you typically set up displays or booths for each of the major ministry areas of the church, with the ministry head on hand to answer questions. Students walk around to gain more information on the different ministries, talk one-on-one with the leaders, set up times to observe the ministry in action, etc.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to possibly having a ministry fair, here are other ideas that have been effective in some churches:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make up a booklet of your church\u2019s ministries and list the gifts that are most used within those ministries.\u00a0 Get as practical as you can in laying out ministry descriptions and the process for getting involved in those ministries.<\/li>\n<li>Have the ministry leaders from the different areas prepare for a session to share how people with the various gifts can be used in their ministries.\u00a0\u00a0You could ask them to take &#8216;x&#8217; amount of minutes to share with the whole group or you could have people\u00a0go to only the one(s) that best fit their gifts.<\/li>\n<li>Plan for testimonials from people with the different gifts to share how God has used them\u00a0specifically because of their giftedness.<\/li>\n<li>Set up one-on-one consultations with class members to discuss possibilities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Essential to doing any of the above is that we know what spiritual gifts are most useful in the different ministry areas. If you aren&#8217;t sure, be sure to check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/mintools-store.com\/products\/ministry-handbook-spiritual-gifts-in-use\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Ministry Handbook: Spiritual Gifts in Use<\/strong><\/a>. That resource suggests spiritual gifts typically used in 16 broad ministry areas under which most ministries in your church should fall. It also points to gifting vital to 27 specific tasks that might need to be done within any of those areas.\u00a0 (The ideas in this post are also listed in the handbook.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To help people see how to use their spiritual gifts within their church body, I really believe there is no substitute for taking the time to tailor it to your particular church setting.<br \/>\n <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/mintools.com\/blog\/practical-use-spiritual-gifts.htm\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">  Practical Use of Spiritual Gifts<\/span><span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-spiritual-gifts"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.3 -
