#1 Gift, Mercy Showing (90%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have always been one to give mercy because, throughout my life, God has also shown mercy to me. The sins I have committed are disgusting and abominable, yet, The Lord was merciful and restored me.

#2 Gift, Serving (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
As an act of love and gratitude for what the Lord has done for me, I humble myself lower than the maggot and will perform any task given to show my Lord I am thankful for his mercy and love he has given to me by the cross.

#3 Gift, Evangelism (81%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am always willing to approach those who society deems unapproachable, those who are deemed dangerous and treacherous to share the good news of the gospel.

[H]eart

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

1. I love my personal relationship with Christ, reading and studying the word in my secret places.

2. I love praying for others and organizing schedules that force me to build my life around Christ.

3. Aside from Christ, I love helping people, which was what inspired me to get a master’s in social work. I would love to utilize my degree for the Kingdom of God.

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

I love to work with those who are very hard to work with such as recovering addicts, the mentally unstable, ex-sex offenders, veterans, and those in hospice.

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

I am not one for leadership, for isolation and self-dwelling have been my abode for most of my life. However, I love to pursue the needs of the church that are dangerous or unfavorable. Anything that no one else wants to do, I would be willing to take on.

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up Christian but never really understood what it meant. However, during my childhood when I experienced an extreme case of acne, I isolated myself and ended up reading the whole bible in 5 months. I was very amazed how God actually talked to people because I never knew that angels and other things I commonly heard were actually in the bible.
