#1 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (59%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I like when others encourage me so I always try to make them feel good and encourage them even more, cause I know it feels good.

#2 Gift, Mercy Showing (50%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Not sure what it means by mercy showing. But I think it means to forgive those who have messed up badly or in the past…I understand no one is perfect and that is okay, your past shouldn’t haunt you or become your title to new people you meet. I’ve had my fair share of mistakes but I don’t want that to always define who I am.

#3 Gift, Serving (46%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love serving others and making them feel loved and cared for, giving people things they want or need, and watching them smile is such an amazing feeling.

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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I wouldn’t/dont identify myself as a Christian

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

Rose Church, Portland, OR, less than a year. I would go early and help set up chairs before the services, get all the drinks and snacks set up as well as helping with rose church kids making sure they had everything they needed.

VBS, Mexico, helper, for about a week. I went down to Mexico with a group of Faith kids and we went and taught God’s word as well as helped provide aid for them.

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

Going to Mexico was a big thing for me and help me with talking to kids about God, helped me become better at work during my summer counseling job. Taught me how to word things easily no matter what the subject was.

Deciding to come to Faith, has definitely been the biggest impact of all. I have no idea who I would be today if I hadn’t decided to come, honestly probably would’ve hated who I become.

My first WINEMA trip. It opened my eyes and made me understand how much the bible means to those around me and kids my age.

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:

When my family had hit a big finance rock, they were scared I wasn’t gonna be able to go to faith, we were even scared about losing our house.
