We All Are Creative, We Just Need to Find It

Beginning my internship with Church Assistance Ministry (CAM) has reminded me of my entrepreneurial spirit as I have seen ways I might assist their work. When I look at CAM, I don’t see “things to do,” but I can see “things to create.” I’m naturally a pretty creative, relational, right brain dominant person. I can come up with lots of ideas, even though many of them might not be very good.

While interning with CAM, I’ve had lots of new ideas about things we can create to help further CAM’s mission to serve and equip leaders around the world. I’ve had the idea to create a blog to share updates on CAM’s work. I’ve thought about possible case studies I might be able to write to enhance Steve’s teachings about coaching and core values. I’ve thought about how a book featuring CAM’s content would develop an even greater platform for CAM to reach more leaders. These are some of the many ideas that have quickly developed after starting to intern with CAM.

Getting back in touch with my creative, entrepreneurial spirit has reminded me of the feelings I had when leading a nonprofit program called A Day of Hope that fed families in need for Thanksgiving. While leading A Day of Hope, I was always coming up with new ideas to fundraise, recruit volunteers, and feed more families.

Being open to a new ministry where I have some freedom to serve and support in my gifted areas has been very encouraging and exciting. And I find myself passionate and energized by the new ideas that are flowing through my entrepreneurial spirit.

Question: In what areas are you creative? How does that affect your life?
