ep. 183: How to Use Your God-Given Gifts with Christa Hutchins
For the past six years, Christa Hutchins has had the honor of volunteering for Proverbs 31 Ministries Online Bible Studies. She serves on the Executive Team for Online Bible Studies as the Coordinator of Reality.
After a period of explosive growth in the ministry, she participated in a strategic reorganization that has positioned them for future growth and more effective ministry.
Her knack for “doing things” has come in handy as they have created our own systems for small group registration, volunteer applications and screening, quality service surveying and other administrative tasks.
You will hear how Christa learned what her gifts were while working with Prov 31 Women Ministries and you may find your freedom in serving God in a way you didn't expect after listening!
