This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:

#3 Gift, Evangelism (84%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I could do Evangelism. I like to use my own personal testimonies in order to convince people about who God truly is and why I think it is important that they come to Christ. I do not particularly like going around or talking to a large group mainly because I am shy, But I can do great evangelism in small group settings or one on one with an individual.

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

I grew up in a small town and church was a must. I got baptized at age 8. I didn’t maintain a perfect Christian life but I have always believed in. God, loves the teachings of the Bible and always know that the hands of God are upon my life. I have for the past years have totally devoted my life to Christ and I look forward for more spiritual growth.

Member of the Pastor’s Aid Committee

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

I was blessed to have people that helped me through difficult situations

God has blessed to be in the USA, moved me to Delaware after living in New York and New Jersey do that I can be a part of church that builds spiritual maturity

I am married to someone who truly loves 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:

I almost lost my son in a near drowning incident. I am always helping people with young kids so that they will not be left in danger

I have had children out out of wedlock and because of this I believe in life and Destiny and I don’t condemn anyone who is going through this right now

I was once very poor, undocumented and partially homeless. Because of this I am a compassionate person.
