Life Experience: Plugging In to Ministry

In addition to getting to know other Christian examples, another way you will continue to discover your place in ministry is to start getting experience. Too many people think they need to wait until the perfect opportunity comes up and then they jump on it. When you are discovering the heart passions that God is growing in you, they most often come through experience.

If you are waiting for just the right opportunity, you are like a parked car. Have you ever noticed how much more productive turning the steering wheel becomes when the car is moving? Getting plugged in to ministry opportunities will help you to get in motion. God will show you new areas of interest and heart passion as you get connected. Getting started helps your learning ability to grow because you are not just talking about theory anymore.

So, let's get started:

• What kind of ministry activities do you want to get involved in?
• Where can you get plugged in to opportunities in areas that appeal to you?
• What may have to change in your schedule to allow you to get plugged in?
• Is there something you may need to start doing or practicing in order to get involved in ministry service?
• When will you start?
