#1 Gift, Serving (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love helping others, even through the most menial of tasks. A helpful, welcoming smile and a hello means so much. Being “behind the scenes” helping a project or ministry thrive is where I feel I do my best work.

#2 Gift, Administration (81%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Similar to Serving, I enjoy the “behind the scenes” work, helping to get a task completed. I enjoy spreadsheets, sending emails, organizing people or items. Creating processes and procedures are some of my favorite past times.

#3 Gift, Evangelism (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
God has done so much in me to bring me out of my shell. I would not be where I am today without His grace and mercy on me. I was an extremely introverted person, fear basically running my life. He has done a great work in me, and I thank Him for allowing me to grow in that way. It has definitely helped open my eyes to other “wall flowers” who want to be noticed, but just physically can’t raise their hand to be seen.

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I gave my heart to Jesus when I was 11 at my home church in Iowa. While I always followed Jesus, I strayed in my youth. It was in my 30’s when I once again began to have a true relationship with Christ.
