Don and Katie Fortune
With a specific leading from the Lord in 1974, Don and Katie Fortune first began learning about and researching the motivational gifts described in Romans 12:6-8. Through an intense study of the Scriptures and extensive observation of the gifts in action throughout people’s lives, they gained a broad perspective of these God-given gifts and how they shape each person’s personality, view of and response to everything in life. Their first questionnaire to help people discover their gifts was tested extensively in seminars they taught in the United States and cross-culturally in many other countries.
Twelve years of continued research and testing led to the writing of their three books, Discover Your God-Given Gifts, Discover Your Children’s Gifts, and Discover Your Spouse’s Gifts, with accompanying workbooks and assessment tools. Through their organization, Heart to Heart International Ministries, Don and Katie have presented their seminars more than 2000 times across the nation and in 38 nations of the world. They have found that the biblically based teachings of the motivational gifts apply to all people, of all ages, regardless of nationality, culture or language.
Since then, over 300 Certified Gifts Teachers have been trained and equipped to teach the motivational gifts seminars. National and Regional Teacher Training & Certification opportunities continue to be available as well as a new at-home Certification program for those who love teaching others about the wonderful God-given gifts that impact every area of life and enable people to fulfill God’s plan and purpose for their life.
More than 300,000 copies of the Fortune’s first book, Discover Your God-Given Gifts, have been sold and are being utilized by thousands of churches and Christian schools, colleges and organizations around the world. The book and questionnaires are in many languages.
With the help of their son and his wife, Dan and Ileana Fortune, Don and Katie have developed and produced a broader and more comprehensive ministry, www.DiscoverYourGifts.org
