#1 Gift, Teaching (93%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I enjoy teaching others if they are willing to listen. I enjoy teaching others about Jesus, various academic subjects, etc.

#2 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (90%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I know that this is a gift, because God gives me the opportunity to do this everyday. He has set me in a place where I can encourage the broken, neglected, abused, etc.

#3 Gift, Giving (90%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I just love giving! If I were given 200 billion dollars, I don’t think I could keep 1 billion for just myself. If I see a financial need, I have to help, it’s in my nature! If I don’t help when I am in a place that I can, I think about it for a long time, and even pray the opportunity to arise again so that I can give!

[H]eart

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

1. Helping, uplifting, and encouraging others

2. Justice, especially to the poor, neglected, abused, etc.

3. Seeing people who have been overlooked (druggies, thugs, lame, prostitutes come to Jesus and surrender ALL

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

underdeveloped, no matter what age. High school drop-outs, young people, people that the world has overlooked.

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

Young girls, impoverished, and thugs. I’d like to help young girls (through college age) know their worth and value themselves. I’d like to help encourage those who are impoverished that living in poverty is not their final destination, and share with them my testimony. I would not just encourage them, but execute plans that will be meaningful in helping them to overcome poverty. I just have a burden for “thugs” I don’t know, I’m just drawn to them and they’re drawn to me. I’d like to be apart of their spiritual development.
