• How are you preparing for ministry? This should not be a general answer such as, “I am going to school.” Explain more specifically how school is preparing you for ministry. This is only one example.
• How will you continue to grow spiritually as you enter ministry? This must be specific and measurable. As the day to day of ministry becomes more involved, how will you stay faithful to time alone with God? What will your time alone with God look like? What are potential pitfalls for you as you grow in ministry?

Part Two: The Motives of Ministry

Your spiritual giftedness has a great impact on your effectiveness in ministry, and it can help guide you where God wants to use you. This Discussion is designed to answer the questions you may have about your spiritual gifts. First, you will need to complete a spiritual gifts analysis. This is not meant to be an exclusive tool to discover your giftedness; however, analyses like this one are very effective in helping you discover your spiritual gift. This survey can be accessed through the Interact: Spiritual Gifts Survey Learn item.

When you are answering the questions on the analysis remember that no one is going to see your individual responses. Answer the questions honestly and not in the way you think they should be answered. For example, if asked, “Do you have a consuming passion for the lost?” Answering “not very often” does not mean that you are a bad person or that you do not care about people coming to know Christ. It simply means that this is not what consumes you. It would indicate that your spiritual gift is in another area.

After completing the analysis and reading the information provided about the results, you will post it in the Discussion Thread.

To complete this assignment, you must submit a thread and 2 replies. Your thread must answer the following questions:

• First, list the gifts and scores from the analysis. (This does not count toward the 300-word minimum.)
• What did the assessment say were your top spiritual gifts?
• Do you agree with the results? Why or why not?
• How will your strengths impact your ministry?
• How will your weaknesses impact your ministry?
• NOTE: “Your ministry” is not defined as full-time vocational ministry, nor is it defined as ministry exclusively in the church. “Your ministry” is defined as anything that you do for the glory of God and for the advancement of the Gospel. Therefore, everyone should answer all the questions above.

Instructions

After reading Part 3 of Everyday Ministry by Early and Gutierrez, you will submit a paper meeting the following criteria.

• The body of your paper will be 4-7 pages in length.
  • The title page and reference page are not included in this page count.
• APA, MLA and Turabian are accepted formats. Please choose the format that aligns with your major of study.
• You must include citations from at least two sources other than the Bible and textbooks for this course. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source.

 

Your paper should include the following sections, and each section should be identified with the given section title.  This paper is mean to be written in first person.

 

Part One:  A Summary of Early’s and Gutierrez’s Essentials

• Each chapter title in Part 3 is an essential. Identify each of them.
• Provide a summary for each essential.
• Discuss whether you agree or disagree with Early’s and Gutierrez’s choice of essentials.

• Express your struggle in these areas and why you need improvement.

 

Part Three:  My Specific and Measurable Plan for Improvement

• For both areas that you have identified, provide a plan for improvement.
• Your plan should be specific. It will not be acceptable to make general statements such as, “I will pray more.”  Rather you need to have a specific prayer plan: place, time, method, etc.   This is only one example.  It is not necessary, nor is it prohibited to use prayer in your plan.
• Your plan should be measurable. Again, it will not be acceptable to say, “I will pray more.”  Rather you need to have a measurable plan such as, “I will spend 20 minutes in prayer every morning before going to work.”  This can be measured.  Did you pray every day?  Did you pray for 20 minutes?
