Instructions for using this Interpretive Guide to Ministries
at God4me Ministries

Commitment of Time and Talent

1) Pray for the Lord's Leading about where and how he would like you to serve at God4me Ministries
2) Carefully review this interpretive guide, noting ministries that you feel passionate about or where you believe the Lord may be guiding you to serve. If you have taken our spiritual gifts test, consider your spiritual gifts and work styles when selecting where and how to serve.
3) If you are already serving in any area of ministry at God4me and wish to re-commit to serve in that ministry, you will need to select the appropriate description(s) on the commitment card. Or perhaps, you believe the Lord has placed new areas of service on your heart. If so, consider selecting those descriptions for your 2004 ministry commitment.
4) After you have noted the ministries you are interested in, carefully review the specific descriptions associated with those ministries and mark the ones you are committing to serve. (Each description has a number assigned to it, corresponding to its listing on the commitment card.)
5) Complete the commitment card by selecting each specific area of ministry in which you would like to make a one-year commitment of service. Check in the appropriate column, "M" if you are male or "F" if you are female. Please note: One card is provided for each household, so you may need to select both "M" and "F" for a specific description if there is more than one person willing to serve in the same area.
6) Joyfully bring your completed commitment card to the next God4me Event.

Please choose an available time:

Do you own a computer?

Do you have Internet access?

Do you have access to, or own a cargo van?

What is your current means of transportation?

Once in a while the ministry is called to special events that require an overnight stay (all expenses paid)
and an early set up. Would you be willing to be part of the team to run these events?
