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 an alcoholic for many years. I’ve always had God in my life but never really knew Jesus Christ and understood the magnitude of what He has done for me. After going to rehab, and surrendering my life to Christ and allowing His Will to be done in my life, I realized I finally knew He was my Lord and Saviour and through His crucifixion and resurrection I was forgiven. I dedicated my life to Christ and have realized I have been called to help others come to know Jesus Christ and help share His Word, and spreading His Love with as many as I can until my Heavenly Father has called me home..

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

Independence, Mo. & Lexington, Mo.
Recovery group leader, Usher, Greater,
