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

1) Teachings of today should be based on Holiness, Walking in the Spirit leading to “I am Jesus in this world” Jesus like character building up. 2) Imparting the gifts and proper guidance in using gifts – these two are missing in our Church (Catholics and Non Catholics Churches)

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, 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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Born and live like a good Catholic. 2014 Dec 29, Pastor Manohar (low state man of God) impacted me and my Wife, Son got baptized. In the process of decision making to become a member in an active Church

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

Freelance evangelist in Bangalore

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

Work hard, there is nothing that I cannot do attitude

Be of use to someone daily – priority share Jesus with someone daily

Thirst for the Holy Spirit daily and grow a bit daily in my fellowship with the Spirit of God

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:

Challenging relationship with my wife. Silenced by anger, back biting, bad mouthing & complaints

My upbringing which impacted me negatively I gave it to my two sons initially. Now, I am learning a good lesson

Expected results too soon from anyone who I have spoken, ministered to – its a real wrong expectation, by myself I cannot even change the course of an ant. In God I have put my Trust now
