Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. I love to inspire youth to invest in their future.

2. I love bringing people together to have a good time to enjoy life.

3. Last but not least, I love serving and helping others.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

I do not have a preference.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

My biggest concern in the church is that there is a lot of entertaining, and not enough training. We are comfortable with becoming spiritually fat, instead of exercising what we learn in church to advance God’s kingdom. The church needs more training and equipping.

Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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
