Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, 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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was in my first year at College and joined a campus ministry. On one of the discipleship meetings with my leader she asked if I had given my life to the Lord but I was not sure. That afternoon I went to my room and prayed a salvation prayer. I have been growing spiritually since then.

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

Ushering and discipleship ministries.

Every Nation (Campus) Church. Windhoek Namibia.

Served from 2015 till present.

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

Going for the Every Nation Church conference in Cape Town in 2016. It gave me hope and excitement for God’s plans concerning my life.

The friends I had in my first high school. Being surrounded by them helped me understand the value of kindness and humility and know what it feels like to be appreciated.

Getting accepted into law school because it provided a gateway to learning ideas that have contributed to my understanding of the world.

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 in a new high school with very few friends or support system and constantly getting teased.

Not performing well at school

Having to choose between what I have interest in and a career that family and friends wanted for me.
