Well that depends on the person, some don't want the recognition but they get it anyway. That's just like in my church, we have people do stuff in the background, and don't want to be out front. But then my pastor or others bring them to the front of the church for a award or make the congregation aware of their Kingdom deeds.

It is ok to give somebody recognition as long as that person is not ego crazy. It is ok to tell somebody that they have done well.
