#1 Gift, Evangelism (93%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I have facilitated many Bible Studies and really enjoy it. I enjoy one on one conversations about God and what real world faith looks like and is in the lives of believers have a deep desire to work in the mission field.

#2 Gift, Prophecy (90%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
This refers to discernment I think. I am usually pretty good at seeing someone or a situation as something it is not. When things are being presented in an untrue way I can usually spot a problem. I am a pretty good reader of people and can pretty quickly see when something is “off” A manipulative spirit is often not to hard to spot.

#3 Gift, Teaching (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Encouragement-I am a sinner, and so are you! By my life experiences I should be far from the Lord and walking a very different life. God saved me, he healed many of my hurts. He has walked with me and brought me through unimaginable pain. There is hope for our hurts and healing, you will always have scars, but they add character and something interesting to talk about right? I generally am completely open, I don’t keep parts of myself a secret from others, here I am, this is me. But I don’t lack tact either. I love sending cards and notes of encouragements. Texts and memes to let people know I’m thinking of them and praying for them.

Teaching- I enjoy it! Love the interaction with women and the sharing of ideas and knowledge

[H]eart

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

1. spend time with my friends
I love pouring in to one anothers lives and keeping up. Doing life together. Praying for each other, having God discussions or just talking. LAUGHING

2. Being active in my church and studying Gods word. I enjoy group settings and getting to know people, which leads to one on one. I have no problem leading as in presenting, speaking in front of a large group of people.

3. I love gifting to others. Baking, or cooking, crocheting things that say I appreciate you. I enjoy making gifts instead of buying them.

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

I enjoy my peers or the elderly. I do ok with kids once I get going. I dont enjoy kids crying in the church service or running in the sanctuary or halls even after the service.

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

I like to lead Bible studies and women through laid out programs or studies. Not sure I would be qualified to lead something not laid out by someone much wiser than me. I like to serve in the kitchen for church events.
World Missions excites me most. Getting info to the body on what God is doing!! He is moving, we need to educate and let the people know. Their $ their prayer are needed!! The great commission is ours to fulfill!! Less than $1 from every $100K made in the church goes to world wide missions this is WRONG!!! In America we have so many programs available, people need to utilize them. Maybe we need to help them do that. Internationally there are no programs, no aid. People are starving to death right now because of covid restrictions. Get on it people! Our lives are not worth any more than theirs. Get that mask off and let God be in charge of you. Our fear and arrogance is killing people! Let things open up, if we die, we die!
