Romans 8:28 reminded us that our lives are about His purpose, His Kingdom. “...in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” God made each of us to have a purpose in His plan. In different stages of life, we will think about our identity,  talents, weaknesses, and “Who am I”? In this workshop, we will have a look at your personalities and how may God be challenging you to choose Him in your daily decisions. What are some practical ways to build Christ-like characters and a missional lifestyle?
