#1 Gift, Administration (93%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I enjoy being organized and detailed; I feel it’s important in leading volunteers and students. When you are overseeing volunteers, the more organized you are the easier it is for them to serve. The easier it is for them to serve, the more they feel valued and set up to successfully lead.

#2 Gift, Evangelism (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I take to heart that the Bible says to love others. I have never been a person who is “in your face” about it. I believe that I am called to love people so that God’s love can hopefully be seen.

#3 Gift, Pastoring/Shepherding (78%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am a cheerleader. Life is hard and if I can help by reminding/showing others that God’s love, hope and peace is always with them, that’s what I want to do.

[H]eart

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

1. Loving my family and friends.

2. Being a person who shares the love of God with children.

3. Music.

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

I love working with elementary kids. I enjoy their sense of wonder and curiosity.
I also enjoy working with retirees. They have so much wisdom and usually have an open heart.

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

I am a team player and enjoy collaboration. I get excited when a group of people can dream and vision together. I get concerned if there’s a lack of respect in the workplace. We all bring our gifts to the table and have a place. You are allowed to not always agree, but you must find a way to respect and support one another.
