Variety

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

I became a Christian in my childhood (8 years old). My mom, soon after she became Christian, told me one evening about God. And I believed in Him with all my Heart in that one moment. I will remember that evening for the rest of my life. Praise the Lord!!!

Russia (Vladivostok Baptist Church, Narodniy Prospect 2A):
Children’s ministries. Teaching and leading music in Awana Bible club. Music (worship) teams. Youth ministry (organizing committee). Counselor at Christian Youth and Christian Children Summer camp (Nadezhdinskoe, Russia). Teaching in youth conferences. Interpreter. Evangelism in orphanages. “Helping Hands” mission organization for homeless kids. Soup kitchen.

USA (Vienna Baptist Church): Music (worship team). Children’s ministries (teaching and singing with children)

Christian Youth and Children’s summer camp. Serving there as a counselor for teenagers. Praying for them, teaching them and leading them in worship. Other (stronger older) Christians helped and inspired me so very much. My faith grew a lot that summer of 2002.

My baptism. My parents did not let me to get baptized until i was 17. But when the day came, It was one of the MOST special days of my life.

Changing countries, language, culture. It’s not negative, but just more than less challenging. I have a big compassion for people, who just can’t fit in…

Death of my mother (8 years ago). It was very unexpected – she died of cancer in age 52. I couldn’t come to Russia to her funeral, but my church family wrapped me in their prayers and loved me so much.
