Our ministry is way more about our attitude and character than it is about our talent. If you are in any kind of creative or technical ministry, you probably are well aware of the skills you bring to the table. But what we sometimes miss is that the ministry isn't about our gifts! It all boils down to the heart we have for people. Our main task is to help people get closer to God. We sometimes might feel that a task we have been asked to do will not fulfill our talent, but it doesn't matter. All we have to do is help one another get closer to God.
When we look for someone to be on a team, we always look for two things - character and potential. You might not have all the skills yet, but if you are eager to learn and have an exceptional attitude, that's everything that matters when you start. Yet on the other hand, if someone has great talent and decides what they want to do, ignoring the need, there isn't much space for effective ministry.
You might feel like you only have a little bit of skill when you start, but it doesn't matter - be faithful with what you have.
