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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

My mother influenced me most. A university fellowship group of brothers and sisters made me a Christian to serve God and others

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

North Toronto Chinese Alliance Church – 10 years as Treasurer/Elder

Newmarket Chinese Alliance Church – Treasurer

Richmond Hill Mandarin Alliance church – Treasurer

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

Built a church (NTCAC) from fundraising, borrowing, filing sales tax rebate claims, and budgeting

Never used any church money for the benefits of personal entertainment like food or travelling, even invited by pastors to visit certain church or meet some people

Successfully applied to a Tax Assessor to exempt the residential property tax for a purchased residential building, used as a church office building/Sunday school

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:

A period of unemployment or part-time employment (6 months) when first came to Toronto in 1976

Deaths of some persons who had inspired me with their life achievements

Being blamed for some fault at work, which was not my responsibility

Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those
