This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I know what God has done for me, and I want the world to know what he has done for me, and what God can do for you. I enjoy sitting down with a stranger and having a conversation. I am a people-person and it pleases me getting to know the person better. I am encouraged by our conversation to share my life and proclaim the Lord. I have been blessed to share my faith with other college students the past 3 years of college through CRU (campus ministry.) I learned how to use certain scriptures that highlight the Gospel. I have also been trained through Cru to use tools that help guide you share the gospel, such as Knowing God Personally booklet and Perspective cards.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I was 14 years old when I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. I have been drawn ever since to the Great Commission (Matthew 28 18:20) I always go out with the mindset of sharing and obeying the instruction on going out and making disciples of Jesus. I always try to read scripture and get time with Jesus because it is a way to learn and broaden my understanding of God. By doing this, I can remember certain chapters/scriptures and stories in the bible to help or lead youth and brothers/sisters with problems, worries and difficult decisions.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Serving others is a passion of mine. Serving people through my time and action brings a great joy to me because I love how much impact it brings to people, organizations etc.

[P]ersonality

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

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

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

I grew up without my biological father and went to a Catholic church in my home town. I only had a little understanding of who God was all throughout my childhood. It was when my mom and her husband at the time, got in a divorce , when I began questioning God. My family went through financial issues and we moved several times. My freshman year of high-school a good friend of mine that was on my track team, invited me to his youth group. It was commitment night for them and had no idea about what that was. I felt the Holy Spirit attract me towards God and I accepted Jesus Christ in my heart. It was March 18th, 2012.

Leading both my mother and my younger brother to accepting Christ as their Lord and Savior.
