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

While living in a bus in the South island, I watched a video one Sunday morning called the Donutman which explained to me that my heart is a donut and only Jesus can fill the middle. This made perfect sense to me as a 5 year old, so I went to my dad and he explained how to accept Jesus into my heart. Since then, I have been a work in progress, growing at varying rates in faith and my personal relationship with him.

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

Eden Church Sunday School 2015- present, TABC Te Awamutu worship team singer and kids church 2012-14, AIC Hong Kong worship team singer and kids church 2008-2012.

2012- present Christian camping, 3 years kidscamp leader, 1 year support leader, 2 years Areahead (coordinating the leaders). At other youth camps: random volunteer: dishpit.

2015- present campus ministry at Auckland university. 1 year student leader, 2 years senior student leader. 2015 Nelson beach project, 2017 East Asia project, trained in evangelism and discipleship.

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

My faith grew by seeing how my missionary parents relied on God financially. I understood that my Lord provides and protects.

Other Christians believing in me and challenging me to take on leadership Roles. Those positions grew my faith as well as being in those environments. Ie kidscamp

Reading Incredible Christian books that have grown my desire for ministry involvement and love for the Lord.

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:

My recent mission trip was difficult for me and had unexpected emotional challenges that have helped me to be empathetic to others.

‘Failure’ in evangelism, but it taught me that only God changes hearts, I am just the messenger, sometimes it’s just sowing seeds, etc.

Moving often, but it created reliance on God, realized that my home is in Him, and a willingness for change and to go where he sends.
