[H]eart

3. Travelling.

I love to work with confident, analytical people that are goal orientated. 20 – 70

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

What concerns me most would be the knowledge and wisdom people are able to pull away from the sermon that day. Worship and serving are fantastic but I really think it is critical that people hear a raw and honest interpretation of the gospel when they come to church.

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 was not raised in the faith but I always had many questions about how humans got here and what our purpose was. After my friend committed suicide I turned fully away from any thought of God and went through a dark time of addiction, depression and homelessness until God reached and pulled me out.

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

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

Going to church on my own for the first time

Deciding to re enroll in university

Deciding to go to the Bible to learn more about 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:

Friend’s suicide

Being homeless

Attempting suicide
