Evangelism
The gift of evangelism is present in those who have an above average desire and ability to communicate the hope of Jesus to those who are not followers of Jesus. This is more than just wanting to see people saved, every follower of Jesus feels that to some extent. This gift is one that is always brewing in you. You intentionally look for ways to talk about Jesus with others and are thinking about how the best way to communicate with them might be. On top of this, you are bold enough to do it and able to take risks to do so. Your courage can inspire others the more you exercise this gift.

Encouragement
This gift, sometimes referred to as exhortation, is the gift of comfort, counsel and encouragement that motivates others to action through written or spoken word.

Giving
The gift of giving involves being able to give whatever you have, in the form of time, money, talents or possessions, generously to others with no strings attached. You would literally give someone the shirt off your back it they needed it more than you did. This gift is such a beautiful picture of God’s love for the entire world.

5.
Mercy
The gift of mercy is the ability to express empathy or to care for those who are hurting in some way. People with this gift are surprised to find it’s a gift because having mercy comes so natural to them that they think everyone has it. They don’t. As followers of Jesus, we should all be merciful but that doesn’t mean that we are all good at it. Your gift is one that brings forgiveness, love, patience and kindness to even the most difficult people or situations. Look around you for people that others have written off, and be intentional about drawing closer to them. When Jesus spent time with the lame, crippled, criminals and people the culture did not think highly of, He sent a message to the world about who God is and what He cares about. You can do the same and it begins with the people you see on a daily basis.

6.
Pastoral
The gift of pastor/shepherd is the ability to care for the personal needs of others by nurturing and mending life issues. Just because you have this gift doesn’t mean you should be a pastor of a church. The truth is that many pastors today have more of a teaching gift than they do a pastoral one. You have this gift because you are ready and willing to live life in the trenches with others. You are not interested in talking to them about Jesus and moving on, you want to dig in deep and really help people around you succeed. You often find yourself looking out for their best interests more than you do your own! Use this gift by investing more time into a smaller group of people. Read more about this gift here: John 10:1-18; Ephesians 4:11-14; 1 Timothy 3:1-7; 1 Peter 5:1-3Areas to consider serving at The Ridge:Ridge Group Leadership | Our Ridge Group Leader team is essential in creating meaningful small group environments in their homes, community and online.

Acts of Service
The gift of helping and service are so close in nature that for the sake of ease, we are lumping them together. This is a gift to work in a supportive role to accomplish tasks with the ability to often see the need before others do. It’s similar to the gift of administration but the difference is that this gift is a little more versatile and isn’t necessarily related to managing projects or groups like administration is. With this gift you find yourself getting your hands dirty on the front lines doing the things nobody else wants to do. You can also be behind the scenes helping others get things done. You do whatever is needed, wherever and whenever it is needed. This gift makes you are blessing to others because you are so darn reliable. Everyone needs friends they can count on and YOU are that friend! Use this flexibility and willingness to serve that you have been given to bless people you want to reach. Those around you will see Jesus’ character clearly through your generosity in this area.Read more about this gift here: Mark 15:40-41; Acts 9:36; Romans 16:1-2; 1 Corinthians 12:28 Acts 6:1-7; Romans 12:7; Galatians 6:10; 1 Timothy 1:16-18; Titus 3:14.Areas to consider serving at The Ridge:Local Partner Support | When selecting this option to serve, you will be contacted by our Compassions team with upcoming serving events directly with our partners.

Teaching
The gift of teaching is the ability to study, learn and then share knowledge with others in a way they can understand and apply. The church would never grow without this gift present. Everyone has some degree of knowledge on any given subject but not many can find a way to articulate what they know to others. With this gift you can educate a variety of different people and cultures because you can adapt well to different learning styles. You enjoy helping someone understand a hard concept and are patient enough to hang with them until they do.
