Women in Ministry - April 2009 Issue

Personality and Ministry
Creating in our lives as women in ministry a clear sense of self-awareness is crucial. To understand ourselves and the personalities God has placed within us is a tool that can enhance not only our personal lives but the ministries God has called each one of us to. As you read the articles in this issue, we invite you to explore the personality and giftings God has given you. Follow the links to personality tests in the resource section and take one or two of them. Explore at a deeper depth who you are as a woman and as a servant called by God. The Psalmist declared in Psalm 139:14, "I will praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made" (NIV).
Have fun in the journey of self-discovery!
