Mr Organization Enjoys His job! But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with com- passion on them . . . Matt. 923621. This verse means alot to me in that, when I see the students, I am truly moved with compassion, and 'with compassion' is the underlying motive for everything I do. Mr. Williams spiritual gift is organization and he uses it to the fullest extent. He is the administrator in charge of the school. He is the one to make sure everything goes right. He is in charge of all finances of the school. He heads the staff meetings, supervises the personel, and works with the people under him, but basically, he organizes, deputizes, and then supervises. He feels that school definitely has an effect on the students because that is basically where they spend most of their time. Therefore, he wants to have a quality Christ-like school where the students encourage one another to grow closer to the Lord and develop character in their life. He hopes that they will set up their own standards and convictions and their example will build character and set the pace for the younger students. Mr. Williams enjoys spending his spare time with people and has a real compassion for teenagers, but most of all, he loves his job and knows he is fulfilling God's will. Matt Williams 13
