This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love being able to give something or do something that is helpful to others. That can encourage and bring help or hope. I love that something I feel might be small, God can use in a big way and it can change someone’s moment, day, or life.

#2 Gift, Teaching (59%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I love helping someone see that they can do more than they think they can. I love helping them try to find out who God’s made them to be and know how amazing that truly is. I love helping to bring truth and wisdom where there is confusion and uncertainty.

#3 Gift, Evangelism (53%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
This one is a little more tricky for me. Encouragement also ranked the same as this one for me and that one makes a little more sense to me. I know I love to encourage big time. I think that drives even the top other 2. I do see that when I have learned some thing new and God’s taught me something I have a drive to share it, even thou it makes me shake:)

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in a Christian home and at the age of 4 I asked Jesus into my heart. My life has had it’s hard times but from a young age I learned to lean into God in my anger, sadness, joy and everything in between. I am still learning but the constant has always been how good God is, He has never left and has graciously walked and carried me through to much, and has brought healing and redemption where once there was only pain. He gave me an amazing marriage even though my home growing up was very broken. I have seen His love and tenderness and known He has a greater purpose even when walking threw pain. And He has brought healing. He has shown me who He has made me to be and that has value because He has given me a piece of Him to be able to reflect back so others can see Him through me. How amazing is that! and He’s not done yet!

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

In college I worked at summer day camps as a teacher/counselor at Central Baptist, Huntington Beach, CA

I was an RA (resident assistant) for 3 years in college, Grace College, IN
Youth Pastors wife for 4 years at Bowling Green Grace Brethren Church, Bowling Green,OH

I’ve helped with decorating and sets periodically over the past 4 years at The River

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

Going away to college. Being able to grow with God and struggle to start to learn what passions He made in me.

Forgiving my father. Realizing that I could give it all to God and be free.

Marrying Steve! The most amazing gift ever! I know God has used him in so many incredible ways in my life including showing me more of how God loves and sees me through Steve’s amazing love for me.

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:

My parents getting a divorce when I was in 3rd grade.

Finding out my father sexually abused me when I was a baby.

Struggling through postpartum depression/depression
