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 about five years old when it clicked that if I didn’t get saved, I wouldn’t get to go to heaven. I had heard it my entire life from my parents and grandparents, and I made the decision. Since then

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

Cuenca, Ecuador

Kampala, Uganda

Scotland

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

When I to Africa I was forced to rely on the Lord through every step of the journey. Through sickness and pain, and through tough trials.

I was asked to be an FCA leader at the beginning of the year and I was very elated to be able to lead my peers towards Christ.

I went to Ecuador in February, and it was challenging to go where so much fear was present so I had to trust God to protect me from the atmosphere of anxiety and fear.

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:

When I lived in MO we had to move away from all of our friends and family to CA. It was really rough because we were on our own and we didn’t know anybody at all.

In CA, we went through rough times as a family to a point where my dad and my mom didn’t live in the same house together. God healed my family from the hurt and the lying and it has shown me the heartache of even the thought of separation from a parent.

In sixth grade my teacher was completely against anything I stood for or tried to share. Through God’s patience and quiet resilience, I was able to remain under authority and also remain calm and collected while He solved the issue for me.
