Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God
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
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
[E]xperience
My brief testimony of how I became a Christian
Was scared one night that I’d go to hell, because I was just living the usual sin repentance cycle not knowing if I was saved, and felt guilty about my sins, so came clean to my folks and they led me into prayer.
Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):
Niagara Celebration Church / World Impact Ministries
Kings Family Church
Missionary (Celebrate Jesus International)
2 years
List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:
Having a close relationship with my pastor when I was in high school.
Doing missions, and forcing myself to do evangelism in Bible college.
Learning about God’s grace and acceptance.
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:
Losing family memebrs
Struggling leading a missions team. Later learning, after reflection, they weren’t willing to lead.
Breaking off relationships by being two outgoing or not holding up my side of the friendship
Wrapping It Up
The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?
1. My Relationship with GOD
2. My Relationship with Others
- Putting Your Spouse First
- Your Kids Second
- Everyone Else After those
3. Grow a massive, thriving, healthy, loving, caring French speaking church in Dieppe /Moncton, with other locations up the coast.
4. Build a retreat that groups could go to and families could go to, in the summer, in the maritimes. That could be used by organizations to help maintain the cost of the structure, and be a blessing to the communities around it. Also, start a local business that champions local maritime goods, but exports abroad.
5. Build a water purification and extraction network in sub-Saharan Africa, and develop the decontamination of sites for agricultural development use, in East Africa and elsewhere subsequently.
