Ministry is often informal – as close as the water-cooler. To move from thought to action it is important to define your goals on paper. Create an acronym to lend definition to your "ministry". A good example is SEEK (Seek, Edify, Educate with Kindness). In effect, you are motivated to ‘SEEK ‘people to bless. REACH may be another short-form you could use (Reach-out, Edify, Appoint, Challenge, Help-out). Next, examine your gifts to determine the best ways to connect with peers. Finally actively look for opportunities to put your ministry in motion; in the boardroom, at lunch, or during free-time. You will begin to see how it will redefine your peers’ perception and your standing as a leader.
How do we shine as Christians in the workplace? We don’t need to wear crosses around our necks, tack scripture to our cubicle walls or spew out bible verses to be recognizable. Our witness is in our approach to communication. We need to be effective observers with a keen sense of detection on how to serve. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). And when it comes to inspiring others, everyone is a friend. In essence, put down selfish priorities and bless someone! Love in action is the way to win at work.
