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

Grew up in a Christian family going to church and all associated church activities. Didn’t decide to make this faith my own until in college when I really let God have full control over everything.

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

Children’s worker – served as nursery (0-3yrs) coordinator and volunteer x 4 yrs (IBC Stuttgart Germany)

Led children’s groups for AWANA (IBC Stuttgart Germany) x 2 yrs

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

Working/serving with Mercy Ships as a nurse x 3years in West Africa

Leaving my home country and learning a new language/culture/way of life

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:

Moving country (from UK to Germany) against my wishes.

Struggling with working with a difficult boss in a non-profit setting

Struggling with living in a country that is not my home country
