#3 Gift, Teaching (65%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Not sure about this teaching but I went to a Teen Challenge for a year program in 2013 for drug addiction completed it and was asked to do a 6 month internship which I completed and then was asked to be on paid staff which I did for another 6 months, and was a student care advisor. That was my calling I believe still to this day. I left to pursue a relationship with an ex girlfriend and quickly realized my mistake, but wasn’t able to get back there. I believe with all my heart that is my calling. I was good at it and had the respect of mist if students. I’m still in contact with director of Flint, Michigan Teen Challenge. He’s been my biggest supporter in ministry still, although we don’t talk as much anymore. But am willing to talk about this anytime.
