#1 Gift, Evangelism (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel I have the gift of evangelism because I try to live a life that shows God. it is my goal for people to se me and notice a difference and when they ask why I am the way I am, I am able to tell them it is because of God and all the He has done for me.

#2 Gift, Giving (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I believe I am giving because I have a heart of compassion and empathy for people. I have been through a lot in my life so when I hear others are struggling I want to give all that I can to help them.

#3 Gift, Serving (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel I have the gift of serving because I am not always able to give monetarily so I feel compelled to swerve in any way that I can. Again, I believe that I have a lot of compassion and understanding for those who struggle in life and have a heart to help them get through their struggles.

[H]eart

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

2. I deeply enjoy singing. I used to be in choir and on the worship team and being able to harmonize with someone makes me so happy.

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in a Christian family and went to a private, Christian school my whole life. I started to follow Jesus at a very young age and recommitted myself to him by being baptized when I was 13.
