I love to work with wise leaders. Also, college students is my favorite type of community.

Church issues – Unclear direction for congregation, not enough encouragement towards community evangelism and serving. A focused community for young adults let by someone who can relate to the age group and push them towards growing in faith.

Serving with Evangelism excites me the most. Having a group of close Godly, college community who are there for each other and serve and grow alongside each other through thick and thin.

50-50 Routine/Variety

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

I accepted Christ when I was 7 years old at my family’s Church and have grown ever since.

I have served in my family’s Church and my college ministries Church for 3 years. Evangelism, worship, planning, group facilitating, serving and witnessing.

Meeting my family friends the Cupp’s helped draw me closer to Christ.

Attending the Passion 2013 conference with my friends confirmed my faith in Christ.

Going away to a public university and serving in an evangelistic ministry grew and solidified my faith.

Over serving in college ministry, burning out, but growth from rest and wonderful relationships.

Betrayal of friend, but forgiveness and renewed stronger friendship.

Family’s over critical and negative words tear apart my character. Strength against verbal attacks from others, still healing from God being placed.
