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

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I got Born again after watching a Praise A Thon on Family Media.

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

I served in the Hands of Compassion Ministry in JCC for over 5 years. I was an assistant HOD and responsible for a team of 40 or so members incharge of Hospital visits/ missions

I served as a Vice leader in Young Adult/Singles ministry in ROG for a period of 5 years. I was responsible for planning and organising events, retreats and welfare of the group members

I am serving in the Children’s church as a Pre-teen teacher and class administrator. I am also a zonal coordinator for the Refresher Group ministry.

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

Helping revive the group I was in charge of and making it one of the most vibrant and active. A closely knit family.

Helping restructure the Home fellowship ministry in my church and conceptualising Cell Awareness Sunday ( Now an annual event)

Helping restructure the Single/Young Adults and helping the new leadership embed and leaving leadership while its vibrant, active and thriving

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:

Being judged and put under lot’s of pressure by my family especially my Aunties and having a Dad who didn’t strike a balance between nuclear and his extended family

Being fired by my first boss from a job that I had emotionally invested in and not realising how much it affected me

Turning 30 and thinking of myself as a failure and fighting to find my path and the courage to pursue it.
