“Service to me means praying and asking God: ‘how am I gifted?\u2019 Once I understand how I\u2019m gifted then praying and asking ‘how can I use that gift to reach people for you?’ And it can be in many different capacities.
\nJust open yourself up to God and ask ‘how can I be used to further Your Kingdom?’
\nMy favorite way to serve is encouraging people.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Service means putting self last and putting others first.
\nMy favorite way to serve is to assist people, especially women. Women happen to be highly vulnerable.\u00a0I help to empower them. There are so many issues that affect women including poverty, health issues, amongst others. So when you can minimize those issues that affect them through training programs and\u00a0literacy programs, that\u2019s a great way to help them.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“I am an orthodontist, so I love helping people with their physical pain but also just talking with them about religion or about any problems that they have, praying with them, etc. I feel like in my career it\u2019s really easy to help others. It\u2019s a beautiful thing to be able to do that.
\nWe have groups of volunteers that go to Guatemala or poor areas in Mexico. We do extractions, cleanings,\u00a0and prevention. Our ministry has opened so many doors to tell people about Jesus. Many people have gotten baptized after we offered healthcare in their towns. I think what we do is like Jesus\u2019 ministry. First, we care for their physical needs and then we care for their spiritual needs.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We’re here in San Antonio, Texas for the General Conference Session. All week we’re asking visitors what service means to them and we’re so inspired by the different ways people serve.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
