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

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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Vacation Bible school at age 4I realised I was the worst sinner in the whole world and my sins hung Jesus on the cross.

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

Oildale AofG,1968-86 IL served in the capacity of youth minister, taught Sunday school grades 6-collage and career, Youth Bible studies, drove the Sunday school bus 14 years, junior church leader,board member, etc.

Aloha Church,Lilhue,Hi. Principal and teacher at Aloha Christian Academy 1986-1990. Taught youth and adult Sunday school, also taught home Bible studies.
Served on the board.

Trinity Church,Hilo,Hi 1990-1993, youth and adult Sunday school teacher, Secretary to the board. Hamakua AofG 1993-96 Sunday school and Bible study teacher.

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

working long hours on the farm where I had plenty of time to think about the Lord, and listening to my mother recite poetry and tell Bible stories while we chopped cotton.

Attending Bible collage and meeting strong Christian friends. Meeting my wife of almost 50 years.

Teaching school for 35 years, especially Christian schools.

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:

Having a pastor who made promises he never kept, who operated in the emotion and changed his mind daily, who never trusted anyone God was using to bless his church.

Having a pastor who could preach a great sermon but lived a totally different lifestyle.

Losing a leg.
