This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I didn’t know Christ personally since I was born. I’ve been lost until 15 years old. Aside that I was trained by our leaders and some pastors in sharing the gospel (CPR or 1 verse gospel and etc.), I praise the Lord because He prepared me and gave me the capability to share my faith and the gospel not only through our church program such as campus ministry, youth fellowship or through covenant groups, God gave me opportunity, strength, confidence and wisdom in sharing it to my friends. Now trying to share it to my family. My testimony is one my greatest tool in sharing it others most especially to young generation as I accepted Christ during my teenage years.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I believe it’s Christ love and grace that gave me the desire to be a giving person to the needy or to someone in need. God showed me also that He is a Giver . Knowing God and His words are also the reason why He renewed my mind to not to be selfish and always help and give others. It’s better to give that to receive as for giving, you’re also receiving something such as joy that no one can give but only the God the Father. I was once lost. I felt empty even though we never experienced not having food on our table in our family, I saw God on how He sustained me and my family with all the challenges and struggles we had mostly financially. God blessed me every now and then, and whenever I give to others, it is really Him who gave me the capability to give. Based on experience too, as Jesus provide the needs of others in New testament, He led me to a lot of people who are compassionate in giving and they have blessed me so much no only financial needs, the support and care with prayers, it’s a big part on Jesus salvation in my life. Giving is also a big part in evangelism. You cannot give or share what you don’t have just like the gospel. It cannot be separated.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Since I was young, I really like do some reporting at school or in class. I love talking and discussing things to others. Teaching or sharing them what I’ve learned. No one really taught me how to do it way back then. I believe when you teach you also have an open and willing heart and mind to learn at first before you can teach. I believe it’s also giving. You give what you have, And as I learn, I do not want to keep it to myself. I want also other to know about it. I’m not satisfied just to show to other the things I learned but also to teach them and let them be part of it. I praise the Lord as with my experience in the youth ministry, He gave me a lot of opportunities to teach such as in small groups, campuses and even in our youth fellowship as guest speaker. I’m not saying I’m an expert or very skilled in teaching but through experiences, seminars and trainings, mentored by leaders and pastors, and most especially the word of God itself taught and mold me how to teach by His grace through my faith.

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

I was invited to join a youth summer camp last 2009 entitled “Living Out Loud”. Napilitan lang talaga kami umattend ng kuya ko. My mom urge me to attend since our camp fee were sponsored by her friend. It was an amazing camp and I got to know a lot of people, the staff, campers and met some new friends. Some of them are still my good friends until now and we’re serving in a ministry together. 💗 Honestly, wala ako masyadong matandaan sa mga tinuro nung first camp ko (Hahaha 😂) pero parang nakaramdam ako ng freedom nung last day namin since I had a great experience worshipping God with other campers. I felt God’s love and forgiveness through people I’m with those camp days. I remembered there’s one thing in my life that I surrendered to God immediately after the camp. It was my relationship with my first boyfriend. Umikot na kasi buhay ko sa kaniya sa buong 1 year na magkarelasyon kami. I felt the freedom and peace after non dahil ako mismo ang sumakal sa sarili ko sa relasyon namin nagaakala na ito na yung love na hinahanap ko but that love can only be found through Jesus Christ pala, who died on the cross for my sins and to have eternal life. Nagkaroon ng saysay buhay ko simula non. but doesn’t end there. I started attending Y-ablaze Youth Night and church services. Makulit din mga staff or leaders noon sa pagencourage sakin sa pagattend. (Now, I know why haha 😅) I even joined dance ministry (Dancing Generation) few months after the camp. Basta ang alam ko nageenjoy ako sa pagattend attend dahil madami na akong friends sa church. I got to showcase my talent too everytime we need to present in big events at church and youth night. I admit yun lang talaga purpose ko non why I’m attending and dance in the ministry. I was part of Jonah’s small group while doing those things. Si Jonah Venturina din ang former head leader ng dance ministry and former camp staff director ng ilang naging youth camps. We have bible study sessions or discussion mostly every other week if I remembered it correctly. She has a big part of my Christian life on how God used her to share her faith to me and on how she mold me to what I am today. During those days, I’m also battling some struggles and challenges in my family, in school and in some relationships with my friends. There was a time that I even said or asked Ptr. Geomer, “Bakit ganon, noong di pa ako tumaggap kay Jesus, parang ang simple lang ng buhay tapos ngayon, ang hirap na.” Then, I attended my second camp: SWITCH, year 2010. This camp was really my turning point in life with full understanding that Jesus Christ is not only my Saviour but also my Lord. He didn’t just forgave my sins but He promised that He will be with me till the end of age. Going back to my question to Pastor Geomer, I realized that if you let Jesus rule over your life as your Lord and Savior, he never promised it will be easy but it will be all worth it. Not an easy life but a fulfilled life. (Matt. 7:13-14). I continued doing what I’m doing but now, with a new purpose to get to know more of Jesus Christ and to become a matured Christian. It was my redemptive journey that doesn’t happen overnight, a day, a week or a month. It takes time. Being a follower and a disciple of Christ is even more difficult I may say. It was a roller coaster ride for me. I even have heartbreaks since I lost a lot of friends along the way and even my parents or may whole family is against it. I have ups and down, good and bad days, failed relationships but I have joy and peace in my heart coming from the Lord that no one can steal it from me and it was fulfilling. Di ko alam kung ano or saan na ako kung di ko Siya nakilala at nagdecide to accept and follow Him. God gave me an opportunity to serve Him more and to become part of His Kingdom’s purpose. I became one of the OMTs (On ministry training) a year after and also became a camp staff, and a small group leader since then. I even joined dvbs before and campus ministry. I even managed to share my faith at work with my friends when we had our 50 days of Transformation campaign. As long I have opportunity to share my faith to other people, I’ll grab it. I will would teach and urge with all my strength that every person God placed in my life would come to a complete experience of the person of Christ. I thank the Lord for a lot of people who influenced me, prayed for me and journeyed with me all the way.

All of you are chosen to be part of this camp and we would like to challeged you to love unconditionally, engage deeper, serve better and to take your faith into the world as servant leaders by reaching others by example. Sobrang masarap mag-grow at mag-serve sa Lord but I’m not encouraging you to serve in a ministry just to have a title ng pagiging leader or something na ipagmamalaki natin sa ibang tao. I am a certain kind of person, not just a FOLLOWER but a DISCIPLE not because of what I did or I’m perfect for the role but because of what Jesus did in my life.

I am still a sinner. I am living by His grace. We all are. (2 Cor. 12:8-9)
It’s not what we can do, but what God can do to other people through us. I hope and pray that you aim to be a certain kind of person who, with time and intentionality, grows in the likeness of Christ and have a passion with the privilege that God gave us to serve Him. 😇
