Via nature, nurture, and spiritual gifting, you will have strengths for sharing your faith in one or more of these styles. Joining Jesus in his work of seeking to save the lost will require this kind of versatility of you, so it is important to understand your strengths and weaknesses. One place to start is by taking the Discover Your Witness Style Questionnaire. When you get your results at the conclusion of the quiz, you can review each of the styles. Pay particular attention to the three styles you scored highest on. Make notes on those styles' traits and cautions. Likewise, for the three styles you scored lowest on, ask yourself when, where, and with whom you might need to operate within those styles. Make notes about how you might develop the traits of those styles over time. INSTRUCTIONS: Read each of the thirty-six statements and select the option that reflects the degree to which you think that statement fits you. Complete the entire questionnaire all at once so that your results are generated and saved for your viewing. 1.
