“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

There are various different gifts – teaching, wisdom, service, missions and many others. (Please see below) They all have different functions to minister to the church as well as to those in the world.

Only a 16 question survey. I don't know how you can get an accurate picture of your spiritual gifts from such a short questionnaire. Very simple app yet caused my Samsung note 2 to force close twice out of three launches. I really don't intend to use it anymore and would urge the publishers to take it off the shelf till they can provide a more comprehensive survey.
