This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel I have this gift because I am constantly thinking about it, looking for opportunities that God has given me to share my faith with people. It comes with ease for me to do this as I enjoy talking about the gospel , and in turn God has never been slow to give me these opportunities to share it.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel I have this gift because I am put in situations where I’m called to encourage someone with words or prayer quite often. And in these moments, I’m never short of words. When I should have no words on some things, I know that things come to my head for me to say that aren’t my own. Making me give all of the glory to God because I think he has allowed me to partake in this with others because I truly enjoy listening and thus God allows me to encourage or pray with them.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I feel I have this gift because teaching people about God’s truth comes naturally and passionately for me. Even though I can do this with large crowds, I feel as though my most effective form of teaching that God has given me has been in a small group setting or one on one with somebody else.

[H]eart

1. Be with people.
I love to do life with other people, and I believe this is true because God has made me to be a highly relational person. I receive so much joy and fulfillment when I get to step into someone else’s world to be present with them in it.

2. Love people.
Though part of the reason I love to be with people is because I want to love them, I still view this as different, as this is the act of me doing something for that said person that is loving. Which is almost always sure to follow me being present with someone. It’s doing the things that Jesus has done and continues to do for us.

3. Hobbies.
I love hobbies ultimately because they connect me to more people. Hobbies are things that we enjoy doing, and finding other people that enjoy what you enjoy bonds you in a special way, giving you more of a window into their life. So whether the hobby is a sport like basketball, a thing to do in free time like watching a movie, or enjoying a certain coffee shop every Friday, I love to pursue people through my hobbies and have found such joy in it. I also have found joy in doing other people’s hobbies just to be in the their world with them.

Non-believers, religious people who think they are Christians, Luke-warm believers, and those new to their faith. I enjoy working with all sorts of aged people, keeps it exciting. But the easiest people to connect with are those my same age, so if I had to choose, I would choose them.

Non-Believers being told the gospel, High School Students taking their faith seriously, Luke-Warm Christianity, and Teaching people that Christianity is relationship not religious duty.

Marriage/family issues

[P]ersonality

Extrovert

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

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

I was stuck inside the religion of going to church every Sunday and calling myself a christian, even though I wasn’t. Then in 2014, I went to a Youth conference where I heard the gospel and that the conclusion was relationship with God and not me doing things or performing. This brought me to accept Jesus that night as I chose to not just be a fan of Jesus but an actual follower of his, accepting his work he’s done to be in relationship with me.

Missions Organization
While in this organization I spent time leading Mission Teams in Haiti for a whole year. This organization also sent me to places like Philadelphia to do some urban ministry in the off months that I wasn’t in Haiti.

The Way Church
Stand-In Youth Pastor
While at the Way Church in Sebring, Florida, me and one of my fellow bible classmates, was charged with starting the youth program at the church for a whole year before we left the Bible school. This time was spent meeting and growing the ministry from 2 to 20 kids.

Grace Fellowship
Ministry Resident
Spent a year deciding where I fit the most in the church, rotating in different positions. The second year, which I’m currently in, has been spent with he High School Ministry department, connecting students to leaders and growing leaders to be better.

-Moving to Haiti for a year and being put in leadership really took my maturity to another level.

-Working at the Gas Station really proved to me that I would be satisfied in a job as long as I got to be building relationships with people as I got to talk to them.

-Going to Bible School for a year and learning the Bible from front to back.

-My parents getting Divorced my Senior Year

-My family not knowing and having personal relationships with Jesus

-The unhealthiness of the organization that I was a part of in Haiti

Wrapping It Up

The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

• Putting Your Spouse First
• Your Kids Second
• Everyone Else After those

3. I’d travel the states and world sharing the gospel with the people I came to build relationships with throughout my journey

4. I’d make movies/videos with my friends and meet people through producing videos as a product.

5. (Or just work somewhere surrounded by non-christians) I’d open my very own Business where I could entertain people with something . And then just build relationships with people at my business.(drive-in movie place, a coffee, bar, restaurant, game club, etc.)
