[P]ersonality

Leader

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

[E]xperience

Although , I grew up in a Christian household and appreciate the teachings . Becoming a full on believer occurred ten years ago when i attended coastal church . From the minute. I walked into coastal church Pastor Dave without even knowing it spoke right into my heart . He was preaching about the power of God and miracles . At that time I was suffering from the same health ailment that the lord delivered and performed a miracle on him from many years prior. Prior to attending coastal I felt lost , hopeless , and my faith was dwindling . Now , I’m healed . Living a life dedicated to the lord , filled with the Holy Spirit , a strong prayer warrior , walking in the fruits of the spirit , and serving BGEA ministry and three online coastal church life-group bible studies .

Church : Coastal church ( downtown Georgia location )
City/ state : Vancouver, British Columbia
Years involved : 10

God has delivered and healed me from cancer and fibromyalgia. As a result , I’m a walking testimonial and enjoy boldly sharing the gospel of Christ with many people .

When I was a child I had a major heart operation and was pronounced dead on the operating table . I seen heaven and never wanted to come back . However , I could see my mom and her church prayer group praying for me and God told me to go back. Heaven is a beautiful place with streets lined in gold , mansions , beautiful smelling flowers , peace , no pain , and everyone is eternally young .

Through my hands of hope / prayer warrior homeless ministry tons of homeless people have received their gift of salvation. Many are free from addiction and living very godly lives .

I was a victim of domestic violence , and almost strangled to death by my ex spouse frank . I seen my whole life flash before my eyes . As a result I was able to help women and children find safe havens to live .

When I was younger I use to overspend and be a shopping addict . Even though I gave most of what the as purchased away the lesson that was gained from that is financial management. I have taught people how to manage their finances and get financially fit .

Seeing homeless people struggling and starving has a huge impact on me . As a result , I make it one of my life purposes to help the homeless. My prayer warrior / hands of hope volunteers enjoy praying with them , feeding them and baptizing countless people on the streets of Vancouver and Edmonton.
