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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was in a Christian family but gave my life to Christ after being troubled extensively by dwelling in sin.

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

MUSIC MINISTRY
1. Moi University Grace Chapel, Eldoret (3 years as a flutist and in charge of accountability, music training and leading the team at different times)
2. Jesus Wept Ministry, Mtwapa (keyboardist and trainer)
3. Concert Family, Eldoret (4 years, as a trainer and worship concert organizer twice)

DISCIPLESHIP
Moi University Grace Chapel, Eldoret (4 years, cell/Bible study leader and a volunteer discipler for one year after campus.)

MEDIA MINISTRY
Moi University Grace Chapel, Eldoret (3 years, coordinating social media presence and assist in setting up for fellowships.)

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

Meeting good practical ‘normal’ Christians who were still rooted in Christ made me love fellowships.

Being appointed a leader in the body of Christ made me be more vigilant in living for Christ and setting a standard.

Mentors and disciplers I met gave me the standard of wanting to know, model and teach much.

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:

My father passed away making me learn to trust God more.

Confusion in the church I was in made me seek to know God more for myself.

Toxic romantic relationships made me seek genuine and long lasting love – which I found in Christ.
