Spiritual gifts
The gift of Shepherding & Pastoring
You take responsibility for people over time. You notice who is missing and you go after them.
Ephesians 4:11
“And he gave … the shepherds and teachers.”Ephesians 4:11
In the church
You lead small groups and care for members through seasons. You stay when the situation gets long and complicated.
Outside the church
You mentor, foster, coach and disciple. Your home becomes a gathering place.
In childhood
You looked after younger children. You were the one who made sure nobody got left behind.
In adulthood
You learn to feed the sheep from a full cup, and to let God be the Shepherd you are only imitating.
With others who share it
Shepherds need shepherding. Be pastored by someone while you pastor others.
