There are many aspects to ministry, and many ministers need to be all-rounders to some extent -- yet they will often have a favourite field of ministry or special gifting. With me, while I enjoy administration, groups, services, and so on, I feel that I thrive where there is desperation and danger -- though not too much of it -- I find that two or three times a week is about the limit for me. I enjoy it because I have seen God use this ministry again and again, because it often makes a lasting difference to people's lives, because it is (needless to say) very interesting, and because it encourages me: both what God does and how people respond. OBSERVATION: Once in a while, I took Church office-bearers along. They were shocked to see what the minister deals with, but I think also had that sense of gratitude that they were there.
