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

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

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Met committed Christians at youth club and realised I didn’t have a relationship with God although I believed He existed. Discovered god loved me personally so gave my life to Him

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

Worked as mission associate in Tanzania and Uganda, including preaching and church outreach Approximately 5 years out of the last 10 years

Ministered in local village churches when first married 45 years ago

Ran church youth group 40 years ago

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

my mothers constant praise and encouragement.

Experiencing Gods love time and again when I had deliberately turned my back on Him

Having my 4 children all come to their own personal faith in God

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

childhood sexual abuse

seeing unfair treatment handed out to those who were poorly educated and couldnt stand up for themselves

fathers alcoholism problems and the financial difficulties that put us in
