[H]eart

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

1. Spend time, talk and pray for others with them or without when needed, have 1-1 with young adults who are in need of God and His word, create bible studies and sermons to preach and deliver to those are in need of encouragement from the Holy Spirit

2. Giving my time and blessing financially to those who the Holy Spirit chooses

3. Serving in the church and if could 24/7, there’s so much to do, so many to call and pray for them or even meet with them to just listen, I needed that many years ago, even months ago and that’s why I want to do it now. Baptizing people its amazing experience

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

Pastors 40+above and young adults 18-30

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

Young adults are in need of bread, they need to be feeded with the word, preaching a message is not enough, following up with those who are desperately in need of help, they must go through a recovery a program. A prayer ministry should be created that meets on a weekly basis to just pray, only a room is needed. I love the connections ministry, it’s amazing to connect with people who have a hunger for Christ, I love how CF reaches the community and are known by it and finally the leaders they have chosen to be Pastors, they are all amazing.

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

Christ Fellowship, 2020-2021 today, serving where needed, connections, worship, celebrate recovery, parking, prayer team, etc

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

My first mentor Pastor Roberto Bustamente, who knew me as a child, before I was even born, a fathered figured where I learned the importance of reading the
Bible and studying it

My second mentor Pastor Juan Carlos Hasbun, a teacher and father figured who taught me how to serve the church & others and how to worship and give my time, he also pushed me to pursue my calling of becoming a Pastor

Christ Fellowship, the church where I have been transformed and I found a fantastic group of people chosen by God to guide me

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:

I lost my company in 2018, because I was mislead by money and power, which taught me how to value God’s blessing and to use it properly and give my time and earnings to those who needed

From 2018-2020I was lost and I acquired many addictions that almost destroyed me completely, but the God saved me and now that I know how to fight them I can help others and not judge them for what they are going through or their sins

My father abandoned me, growing without a father was not easy, but that made me seek God like never before and build a relationship with Him in the past few months where now I see things with clarity and Im still working on becoming a better an
