WHO AM I?
I I got into the Motivational Graces (not gifts) Inventories based first on a one-dimensional temperament seminar that was popular in the 1980s titled "Relationship Strategies." My wife and I used this system quite a bit in our ministry from then on. In 1989 I met Dr. L. Lynn Hood, and international emissary of the Almighty and expert in Motivational Gifts. One of the inventories I use was written by Dr. Hood, and I automated this inventory for computer in 1995. Dr. Hood and I had an ongoing friendship and would trade insights into the Motivational and Pneumatic gifts a couple time a year, usually when he would come to a church where I was stationed to do a presentation. Dr. Hood is still very active in leadership seminars. I started putting together systems of graces, temperaments and personalities primarily so I could have a tool to place church volunteers in ministry jobs to which they were best suited. I developed some straightforward inventories and started doing seminars in churches, family and home groups, and even in secular groups, since Motivational Graces are endowed in everyone whether they are born anew or not. In 2001 I was started to get deeply into Internet and electronic ministry, so I built the inventories here and added on as I went. It got to the point where there were so many surveys coming in I couldn't keep pace with it, but couldn't find anyone who was technically savvy enough to volunteer. In 2002, I got my dear friend and fellow minister from seminary to look over the material I had and he invited me to do a seminar for his church. We had a very good learning experience with his people, and he suggested I build a book around the material I had discovered and the data I had accumulated via the web. This I did - in fact, two books with a third on the way. The Eureka moments in my quest for the seamless integrated motivations / temperament / personality / mask system came in 2004 when all of a sudden a diagram popped onto my date book from my pencil that illustrated the paradigm for integration. In the last few years, the books were completed, I received accreditation with the International Institute for Church Management for Pneumatology - the science of spiritual gifts - and met (via the web) a number of incredible people - many with insight into the spiritual realm and the gifts - others who had taken the surveys online and contacted me for help with spiritual issues, especially confrontations with evil spirits. In 2007 I became re-acquainted with Mr. Jay Ayres of Tampa We have formed the Lamar Hayes Institute of Pneumatology to certify students in Spiritual Gifts Sciences and are updating our websites in preparation for offering correspondence courses, computer-based training and seminars on many pneumatic subjects in hopes of getting more people, who are gifted in the area of spiritual resources, trained to do more with their gifts. Oh - the other things: I grew up in Findlay, Ohio, graduated from Indiana University in computer science, psychology and philanthropy, then went on to get a 4-years Masters of Divinity degree from Emory University in Atlanta, hitting several other universities on the way. In 2004, the Wesley Synod conferred me with the Doctorate in Humane Letters through their St. Bartholomew University in Kent, UK. Throughout the years, and besides the training books, I have written many essays on spirituality, spiritual gifts, case histories of spiritual gifts, practical and Wesleyan Theology of the same. Growing up in the Charismatic Movement after being called to preach in a tent revival practically guarantees seeing many hundreds of the works of gifted people, and the Ruach ha Kodesh has privileged me to participate in many myself. The essays and writings may be ferreted out from the following websites:

am Jackson H. Snyder and I currently live in Florida.
Called to preach in the tent meetings of A. A. Allen in the late 1960's,
I was but a youth. However, I began at that time "tarrying" for
the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit including
Tongues, Interpretation and Healing.
