Summary: This chapter shows how a good job fit, serving with one's gifts/strengths, ongoing training, and willingness to sacrifice all blend together to form resilient, effective, and satisfied mission personnel.
Gems: We can all do tasks that are outside our areas of gifting for short periods of time. However, if we have to function really outside our natural gift range for long periods of time, then this will drain our energy, increase our stress, and cause many of us to begin to malfunction.
