Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, 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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I accepted Christ as my Saviour in Sunday School when I was 9 years old.

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

FCCC – London Youth leader (3 years)

LSA – Congregational Care; Lakeshore Cafe; Kids Cove Assistant; Kids Camp

Exchange Church – Exchange Kids; Prayer Team

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

My personal Sunday School Experience at Wallenstein Bible Chapel – very active in family activities beyond Sunday morning experience (Sunday School trips, picnics, Christmas concert)

Leading a group of 70 plus volunteers in Lakeshore Cafe in order to provide a warm atmosphere after church services where church attendees could sit and enjoy fellowship and possibly engage in conversation about the message.

Working underneath Joan Ashley on our Congregational Care team who provided excellent care to seniors through her leadership..

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:

Didn’t enjoy being a Junior High Leader – thought I needed to because my husband needed help.

Didn’t enjoy working with unengaged teenagers at Kids Camp.

Didn’t like the set-up of Kids ministry at SilverCity theatre
