It's not the only thing that I do in my church, but it's where my heart seems to be.
Have you found your place to work for the kingdom of God?
Is there anything that you feel you have a special calling to do?

Just a thought...
I am thankful for the ministries in our churches and for all who lead. The testimonies of Tina and Adra are examples of invaluable church ministry.
However, I think we often undervalue the importance of those who in every place are a light for Christ - regardless of their official churchhouse appointment or teaching capacity. We should discourage the tendency to catagorize our daily lives and our "ministry". Our life and lifestyle IS our ministry whether pastor or elderly widow. God Himself has called us and placed us.
Is the impact of a Christian businesswoman on her peers of less significance than the Sunday School teacher on her class? Or is the Christian witness of the factory worker of less value than the Youth Pastor?
Perhaps we should ask, not only if we have found our place... but whether we are salt and light where we have already been placed by God.
