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

Grew up in a Christian home, so I had always known about this God we serve. I was also very active in church, I still am. But I remember giving my life to God first while I was a teenager and between then and 2013, I’ve given my life over and over.

After a very tumultuous 2012, I re-dedicated my life at a Church service on Sunday.

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

Methodist Church, Festac Town, Lagos – Started a singing and dancing quartet called “Stars of Wesley” with 3 of my friends as teenagers

Covenant Life Ministries, Southampton, UK – Choir
New Covenant Church, Streatham UK – Choir, 20/30 Vision (Youth Ministry)

Singles Ministry (The Bridge) at the Elevation Church (TEC)
Business Roundtable at TEC

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

My mum has a huge influence on my life, she single-handedly raised my siblings and I. I have chosen to see this positively

Opportunity to school and live abroad for a few years

Saving up for my Masters programme in the UK within 2 years of working. This singular act still spurs me on till today, reminding me that whenever I set my mind on something, I can achieve it.

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:

Health challenge, pain I go through and my pain threshold

Not having a male figure in my life growing up. I lived with my mum, grandma and 4 sisters

Financial challenges growing up
