#1 Gift, Mercy Showing (96%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am not sure why I have the heart that I do. But helping others makes me feel good and if I can make someone else smile then it was worth everything. I also believe I am a good giver, even though this homework says other wise. id give the shirt off my back for another if they needed it. I would give my last dollar to another.

#2 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (75%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I always try to encourage others to have a better attitude with life. and if you look at things with a positive attitude then the outlook does not loo so bad. less negative the better. more positive you are the better you feel and the better people see you.

#3 Gift, Serving (59%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
serving goes along with Mercy. Like I said id rather help someone else out than help myself. making someone else’s life easy or easier is worth everything.

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I have always been raised in a church family. My mom received a new job at Braymer highschool and we moved to that school and got involved with the church and I became a Christian while going there. throughout my life I have been doing mission in highschool and once I graduated from HS I fell away from Christ. I had fallen in with the wrong friends and guys and my life following Jesus spiraled downward. it wasn’t until recently did I come back and start going to church and decided to change everything around. I joined a church group and started attending church regularly

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

Braymer Baptist Church. we went to St. Louis two years in a row, then inner city of KC and then Indiana

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

Learning the word and how Jesus died for our sins and now learning how to relate the word with my life now.

Meeting people like me

able to serve and help others realize who the lord is

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:

Falling in with the wrong friends and crowds.

Getting used by others

trying to live life my way instead of his
