#1 Gift, Evangelism (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Since I first felt God’s leading to join the Evangelism ministry at TSC years ago, He has given me a heart to share the Gospel to people, whether through tracts, one on one witnessing as I feel lead or have the opportunity and open air preaching as lead to by God.

#2 Gift, Teaching (71%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I enjoy expounding the Word of God to others, both believers and unbelievers, that they may grow in the knowledge of the Word and be saved or edified in their walk with God.

#3 Gift, Giving (65%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
God has impressed upon me and made me understand the importance of tithing to the Church and giving to other causes as lead to by God. I also believe the gift of Giving is not just financial, but also in your giving of your time and talents/gifts among other things.

Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, 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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

April 23, 2002 I was born again. I confessed Christ as my Lord and Savior that night as I was overwhelmed by fear and sensed I needed God’s help to keep on going. I did not want to live imprisoned by fear all my life.

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

East Harlem Fellowship, New York, NY
Security, Evangelism and Cleaning Ministries

Times Square Church, New York, NY
Evangelism ministry(about a year and a half involvement)

Lord of the Harvest Commission, Queens, NY
Preaching/Teaching of the Word, Singing/Praise & Worship, and Translating Sermon from English to Spanish

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

Getting the burden for a season to do open air preaching in the Subways as lead to by the Lord. Why?- Along with the Word being spread to others, a work was being done in me where I became less fearful to speak to others and consequently less reserved.

Being set free from Depression by the Lord. Hearing God tell me He delivered me not just because He loves me, but because He also wants to use me to do service for Him.

Reading David Wilkerson’s book “The Vision and Beyond”. It was a Spiritual Wake Up call for me as I had been a carnal Christian up until that point for the most part and after reading that book, things began to change for me and I started to take my Christian walk more seriously.

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:

Being depressed.

Being in bondage to Sexual Addiction for a time.

Being fearful and lazy for a large part of my life.
