The churchs outreach to the world is enhanced when the gifts given to all God's people, including laity, women and youth, are affirmed and utilized. This session will show how ministry needs to be based on gifting, not gender, on witnessing, not categories, on biblical teaching, not status. When gifting is denied because of gender, status, or age, kingdom ministry is diminished.

Workshop Session, 51 mins.
