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

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

Someone shared Jesus with me and I realized that being good was not good enough, so I received Him right there and then.

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

Co-Founder of Island Harvest Ministry, Single’s Christian Fellowship, Good News Jail & Prison Ministry, Mission Team Leader, Usher, Parking Lot Attendant, Sunday School Teacher, Outreach Coordinator, and Single’s Pastor all with First Assembly of God, Honolulu, Hawaii for 14.5yrs.

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

The night I received Jesus, I had an encounter with God.

Used by God to intercede for specific individuals and events that involved miracles.

Another encounter with God that confirmed my first encounter with Him.

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:

Growing up with a Military dad.

Spending a lot of time with my grandfather.

Being and angry young man.

Wrapping It Up

The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. Give my wife what she wants and not so much what she needs.

4. Build a facility that would encourage our community by bring conventions, seminars, corporations and companies to our city. This would give us an opportunity to employ single moms/dads/ex-convicts/recovering addicts etc. and stimulate our economy. Plus, we can share the good news with all of them through serving them.

5. The above facility would serve the community during the week with a Coffee Shop, Satellite City Hall, Fitness Center, Technical Training School for High School kids who are seen as “disciplinary” problems and all of this would stimulate income to be channeled back to reach the lost and help others.
