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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Have wonderful believing parents and grew up in a church that engaged me as a chid and a teenager. Met Christ when I was on my own on a farm realising that my faith only makes sense when I actively invite Christ to be my Lord.

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

Translator english service into German – International Baptist Church Stuttgart – 5 years.

Small group leader with my wife – Citychurch Würzburg, Germany.

Pianist Freie evangelische Gemeinde Marburg.

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

Serving on the Mercyships.

Strong Christian brothers.

Listening to spiritual teachers.

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:

Failed big university exam – which resulted in 6 months “loss” and repeating exam.

Trusted business relationship/partnership with christian couple – ended up with loss of money, job and hard feelings. Accusing me to not live christian life.

Situation in the book “The Shack” where main character is asked to judge on Gods behalf – said he cannot do it – but God made clear that we judge so often every day – and it should be all up to Him.
