I love to talk about anything and everything. Talking about Jesus is one of my favorite topics. Whenever I am enlightened about something in the bible i feel compelled to share it with others. Therefore teaching them and I also love the satisfaction of someone understanding Christ more through that.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I can remember one summer camp the speaker said to close our eyes and pray for a vision to be revealed to us. When i did, i saw myself speaking in front of thousands of people and since then i have known that I will speak to multitudes one day.

[H]eart

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

1. I love meeting new people.

2. I love being a friend

3. I love Jesus

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

People either a little older or younger than me. That is because either I can influence those under me or be influenced by those above me.

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

I am worried that churches will try to blunt the truth so much they forget why we are here. With the controversy about sexual identity nobody wants to offend anyone and instead they tell them what they are doing is ok. This will hurt those in question and the church in the long run.

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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

My dad has been a pastor since I can remember. Seeing him live out a life that is pleasing to God is always something i have wanted. And because of that I accepted Christ as my savior. But through middle and high school I started straying. Getting trapped in sin and being someone different at school than at church. But throughout my senior year God really was tugging on me. And that lead me to csm.

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

Warden assembly of God. Warden, WA. Helped with kids min for 5 years

Redemption church. Medical lake, WA. Helped with kids, youth, and worship for 2-3 years

I went to Latvia in October of 2016 for a 10 day mission trip.

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

Coming to CSM. That is because I now I am right where God wants me and that is where I belong.

Going to Europe and experiencing God break language barriers in amazing ways.

Speaking at my baccaloreate service because I felt so at peace speaking about Jesus in front of people i didnt even really know

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:

Going through the experience of my father being asked to resign.

Seeing what drugs and alcohol can do to you through the observations of friends that dabble in it.

Having to be told again and again the things i was doing wrong very sharply.
