[H]eart

1. It gives me life when — through my serving God — people accept Jesus Christ as Savior and grow to look like Christ!

2. I want to help fund the building of the Tabernacle. If I had more, I’d give more.

3. I love to think administratively, I love brainstorming, being part of a forward-thinking team. I really like working in the background.

I really enjoy working with youths and young adults.

I’m currently serving in the interpretation ministry and enjoy it immensely. There are many opportunities for improvement which will benefit the body of Christ worldwide. I’m excited.

Routine

Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

I was raised in a Christian home and thought I was a Christian. That is until I heard a sermon by Dr Billy Graham who preached that unless you’ve personally confessed with your mouth Jesus as Lord of your life, you’re not yet saved. I did so in the year 2000.

I served at the North Miami Church of the Nazarene as a youth pastor, an itinerant preacher, and a member of the church board from 1998–2004.

I co-pastored the Haitian Congregation at the Nashville First Church of the Nazarene (2009-2016).

I also preached in youth and adult crusades/revivals throughout 2001-2016 in various states (NY, New Jersey, Boston, Florida, Tennessee). I have been a guest speaker at an annual women retreat in Maryland, Massachusetts.

I’ve joined TG in membership

I thoroughly enjoy the teachings, prayers, and the worship experience at TG.

I’m learning how to do true spiritual warfare!

My divorce

Being a caregiver to ailing parents

Looking for a home church after transitioning from Tennessee back to Florida. The 3-month search for a home church was quite disorienting because I regrettably found many churches and pastors do not preach the Word of God.

Wrapping It Up

The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

• Putting Your Spouse First
• Your Kids Second
• Everyone Else After those

3. Adopt and home-school as many children from the foster system.

4. Select a remote village/city in Haiti, partner with the community in identifying their specific needs, help them restore their community with emphasis on 5 aspects: spiritual reconciliation with God, social reconciliation with self and others, ecological reconciliation through stewardship of God’s resources, financial reconciliation through small businesses and partnering with foreign businesses, reconciling the people and government officials.

5. Full-time ministry
