[H]eart

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

1. Development – of myself and others in the Word of God and any other good thing.

2. Writing – expressing my thoughts, the Word of God in a way that others can understand

3. Operating in the power of God – to see the sick healed; bring forth a word of encouragement and comfort

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

The people who seem insignificant in the Kingdom of God. Age-wise: not relevant. I am working with teenagers, adults of all ages, men and women.

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

Galvanizing the general body of Christ in the Church to be operative in the Kingdom of God rather than just a few select people. That’s boring.

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

At six years old in Sunday School, at the end of the lesson the teacher asked who would like to give their heart to Jesus. I raised my hand. I understood all she had taught about Jesus giving His life for us, His love, Heaven, hell, sin and made my decision then.

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

Zion Apostolic Church

Built On The Rock

Higher Life Ministries

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

Having children – parenting and loving my children and knowing that God is THE perfect Father loving me much more than I can ever love anyone!

Hearing God say that I didn’t have to go and travel anywhere to find Him.

Praying to get remarried against all the odds. God teaching me HOW to pray effectively and having the answer manifest!

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:

Being divorced

Being a single mother

Being a tenant after having to sell the marital home

Everyone Else After those
