Service
The charism of service is a special grace that allows some to closely identify the unmet needs and problems of others that keep good things from being accomplished. Those with the gift of service fill in the gaps, without providing answers or solutions, but are willing to work until the job is done. No matter how big or small the task they are committed. Expressing this gift involves a willingness to “pitch in” and do whatever is needed to accomplish the task at hand.
One with the gift of service, will be the first to jump in to get to work. Often because of the eagerness to jump in they are mistaken as the leader of a project. However, those with the gift of service would prefer to be hands on, doing the work themselves rather than leading a project. They prefer not to delegate and thus work best in the background as they are very task focused.
Those with the gift of service are problem solvers, they have a knack for seeing gaps and things left undone. They are different from leaders, as their view is smaller picture. They have a great attention to detail and will recognize small tasks that go unnoticed by leaders and administrators.
