#1 Gift, Prophecy (96%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I’ve been through and seen a lot. My mother died when I was nine, and then my Grandmother passed away when I was twelve. My family, which once were strong Christians left me. Now they are out of the will of God. So, I can tell how a person will end up by there actions and personality. Not by judgeing them, but by the inevitable truth that continued living in sin will ruin you.

#2 Gift, Teaching (93%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I understand the Bible, I was raised in church at a young age. I went to Sunday school and Sunday and Wednesday night service. I also have worked with many people before, so I know how to communicate.

#3 Gift, Evangelism (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Like before, I am good at communicating with people because I’ve had experience. I love meeting new people and sharing the good news that Jesus is alive.

[H]eart

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

1. I love telling people about the Goodness of God. What he’s done not only for me in my life but yours.

2. Telling folks about the Son of God and his works here on earth. Also what he went through.

3. I love to help people get saved, leading them in the right path. I want and desire to see people accept Christ into there lives.

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

I love children, because there hearts are not hardened. They love to hear stories. Mainly the age between 8-12

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

People who confess that they are saved, but end up in the same shape or worse a few days later. People need to be sure they hold on and give up sin. Issues of worrying about the money of the church, as in hoarding money and not using it for the building of Gods Kingdom.

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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was raised in church at a young age. I knew about God and his love, and his Goodness. However, I head him speak to my heart when I was 5, but when I was 13 I was backslidden and re dedicated my life at 16.
