What called you to Diaconal Ministry?

GOD!  My call was very clearly for hands on ministry involving pastoral care and spiritual education.

How I explain Diaconal Ministry to others …

Exactly how I was called…to hands on ministry, we are Jesus hands and feet here on Earth.  Religion does not have much to do with it, instead focusing on building an interpersonal relationship with God.

What gives you the most satisfaction, reward, sense of fulfilment from the ministry you do?

Sharing my love for God with others.  Is very simple for me.
