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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I realised that something was lacking in my life. Didnt know what but was determined to find out. I was invited to TLC by a friend and enjoyed the services I attended. I registered for encounter and attended and on my return, I knew I was on my way to what was missing. I began to commit myself. I joined a ministry and became dedicated to the task of serving. I attended every seminar and teaching that became available and when the Lord told me it was time to commit to Him, I did not hesitate. I knew I was ready to serve Him and in doing so, serve others. I am happy I was obedient.

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

Hospitality – Usher – TLC member then Lead 1 year

Hospitality – Resource TLC – member then Lead – 2 years

Data Team – TLC – member – 1 year
