The following are a few suggestions where you might "fit" best in
ministry. Remember, God may lead you to do things you don't feel
qualified or comfortable doing. But God always empowers you to do what
He calls you to do.
There are also many challenges every Christian is called to
do;
such as praying, witnessing, etc. Don't let the lack of a specific
spiritual gift or personality type discourage you from doing what the
Bible commands. You may also feel compelled to be involved in other
ministries not listed. You may even desire to be involved in
ministries listed under different personality types.

Choosing where to be involved can be easy. First, pray God will give
you wisdom about how your specific personality, spiritual gifts,
talents, interests and experiences relate.
The Lord may also direct you to get involved in ministries that don't
seem to fit your "giftedness." Sometimes your passions and interests
create a burden to be involved in unrelated areas. God can use you in
a great way as you allow Him to do His work through you.
The most practical way to discover where to serve is to consider the
ministries that need your personality and spiritual gifts. For
example, you may have a "S" type personality with the Gift of Serving /
Ministry / Helps. Look for an opportunity to serve behind the scenes
doing those things most people don't want to do — like the Kitchen or
Library. You can receive deep satisfaction knowing God uses you to
meet special needs.
If you're an "I" type with the Gift of Encouraging / Exhorting, you
may want to get involved in a more active and aggressive outreach
opportunity. "S" types prefer more passive "friendship" or "relationship" type evangelism or counseling.
"D" types with the Gift of Prophecy / Perceiving would serve
effectively in a Community Awareness type ministry. These types prefer
to perceive and declare truth.
Review all the opportunities listed with your specific personality and
spiritual gift in mind. There may be other opportunities not listed.
You may want to consider your talents, interests and experience. For
example, you may not have an "I" personality with the Gift of Showing
Mercy, but you have a burden to win the lost. Your passion and
experience will .......
