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

Met committed Christians at youth club who seemed to know God personally. I believed He existed but didnt know him. Listened to talks and found God loved me personally and gave my life to Him

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

Tanzania, Uganda as church mission associate aprox 5 years out of the last 10.

Helped take services at village chaples 40 years ago, led womens bible studies

ran church youth group 40 years ago

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

my mothers encouragement and praise

All 4 of my children coming to a personal faith in Christ

Knowing God has continued to love me even after I have deliberately sinned.

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:

Sexual abuse as a child

fathers alcoholism resulting in financial difficulties whilst growing up

Seeing people unfairly treated because they were poorly educated and didnt know their rights
