Shepherds Profile

The shepherd is usually patient, willing to spendtime in prayer for others, and very peoplecentered. He really wants to see others grow

in Christ, and is willing to study and preparewhatever is necessary to feed the group.

Sometimes the shepherd fails to involve otherpeople (unless exhorter is part of his gift mix),and is often trying to do too much.



20/22

Shepherds Profile

He is self-sacrificing when it comes to the flock,but not always conscious of his own family aspeople he can shepherd. (This trait can be

found in all the gift personalities to a degree.)He has a high sense of empathy, and is tolerant

of peoples weaknesses. He may become

opposed to evangelism and church growthbecause he already has enough people toshepherd.

a unique channel forthe Holy Spirits
