[H]eart

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

1. I enjoy being outdoors in God’s creation, away from the business of life.

2. I enjoy doing a project and bringing it to completion. Whether this is at work, at home, or in the church.

3. Spending time with friends and family.

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

People of my age that I can relate with, people going through the same stages of life so I can maybe learn and help at the same time. I don’t mind getting to know the older generation as it encourages me to learn that they too went through similar struggles.

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

Missions – I feel people don’t understand how easy it is to get involved, it isn’t as scary as it first sounds. Discipleship, this isn’t a class or a process, but it is a way of life that must be developed and executed to grow in this area. It also involves taking others along with you to help grow them.

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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Growing up in the church I understood the truths at a young age that I needed to be rescued from my sinfulness. I believed that Christ came to earth as God’s son to take on the penalty of death for my sins so I can take on his righteousness. This is why I desire to know Him more and do good works because of my desire to do live as He instructed.

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

Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, Liberty/Missouri – Small Group leader/co-leader – 6 years.

Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, Liberty/Missouri – Global Outreach Communication Coordinator – 2 years

Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, Liberty/Missouri – Choir and Praise Team Member – 6 years

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

Going on mission in Sierra Leone.

Leading a community group and growing close to those individuals.

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:
