[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. I love to see joy on the face of others -Christian or non Christian it does not matter to me because Jesus did for all mankind..

2. Being able to see the hurt or pain someone is going through and able to help – with the need or able to share a word or from my own life to show others we all have sin and we all have issues

3. Worshipping and singing unto the king of Kings – making a joyful noise and taking a song an breaking down the words without the music – and seeking God on what is this saying to me and how can I apply this to my life today.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

Working with men’s any age if I can make a different in the life of someone old or young it does not matter to me.. as long as they become a follower of Jesus and give Him there all.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was lead to the Lord by my six year old son. He did not want to go to church one morning and I got up and made him put his cloths on .. He look up at me and said Daddy why I have to go, you don’t go I want to stay home with you.. it did not happen over night but those words cut deep and I did give my life to Christ.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

Usher-Choir-Children church-Men’s Ministry – cleaning the bathroom. parking lot. you name it and I have served in some way.

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Meeting my wife of 46 years – she never give up on me and always treated me as her King even when I wasn’t serving God. I am the man I am today because of her.

Losing my only Son in a car accident, I was upset with God and I ask Him why? His reply I know how you feel I lost my only Son as well. That was an eye opener for me. Jesus died so I can be heal from my lost and he did just that.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

I am giving one as I feel at this time in my life that is all that needed. Having COVID-19 and being in the Hospital for six days.. I want to go back to the Hospital and that same floor I was on the fourth floor and share the good news of Christ.
