#1 Gift, Evangelism (75%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am not sure if the above should read Giving? I have a deep desire to be able to give more freely, regularly and in big amounts. It’s a desire that both my husband and I have: to advance the Gospel through our finances.

#2 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (62%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I don’t see myself as a mass people/numbers evangelist. I don’t like street evangelism or walking up to random individuals however I relate well to people and am genuinely interested in and concerned for them and where they find themselves in their lives and in relationships with others so on that basis I feel I am able to speak into their lives effectively and help them with things they might be struggling with as the Lord shows me.

#3 Gift, Giving (53%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Affirmation and Praise is my love language and therefore as much as I love receiving it, I enjoy it even more to dole it out on others.

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

I became a Chrsitian and was baptized in the HS when I was 5 so since a little girl I understood and knew that Jesus was REAL. After completing my post grad in Drama however I went through a very lonely few years before I joined His People/Every Nation and found family and my purpose.

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

I had served briefly in the kids’ ministry at my parents church in Alberton (Bethel House of God) but did not enjoy it.

Worship Ministry since I joined His People/Every Nation

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

Traveling & backpacking through South America when I was 25

Going to Bethel Worship School in America in 2012

Meeting Duwayne Pike.

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:

Having experienced emotional trauma as a child.

Losing my grandmother to cancer at 15. Having to nurse my other granny during a 2 year sickness in our home before she passed away when I was 21

When I was held up in my home by three men and robbed in 2016
