#3 Gift, Evangelism (81%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I always felt like God talked to me and I would have conversations with him but up until a few years it was so hard for me to express this or share it with others but I would recognize that everything I had was thanks to the Lord and share the bible and the laws I followed and I would talk about MY personal experience with God and then few years ago I realized how important it was to share and help others understand the need for a deep relationship with God and not just knowledge of his word but of his love also.

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

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
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

It was in my grandma’s grandparents home where one of the first Christian groups in Jalisco Mexico started to meet. It was from generation to generation that we were taught the bible and grew up in church but I remember always talking to God and feeling close to him so I don’t know I guess I would say I always was.

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

Iglesia Israelita Casa de Dios Guadalajara Jalisco Mexico

Iglesia Israelita Casa de Dios Los Angeles

Iglesia Israelita Casa de Dios Zapopan Jalisco Mexico

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

My mother always instilling a love and teaching of the word of God

Being involved in sports all throughout high school and learning to be part of a team and sportsmanship and serving others and encouraging and motivating them as part of the experience and growth of your and your team.

My close friendships that I grew up with and with whom I shared my struggles growing up and who where there for me even years after.

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:

My struggles with dating and giving too much of myself

My “marriage” were it was more like being kidnapped, raped and controlled everyday for years.

Having to raise my daughter while handling co-parenting with her dad whom I was allegedly “married” with but I could never call what we had a marriage because of the unending assault and restrain that happened immediately and did not ever stop until I was able to find a way to start the process of a legal divorce so I could escape but whom I still have to see constantly in regards to issues pertaining to my daughter.
