(#4) I love to travel and see new lands, experiencing the culture, people and food!

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

Career minded adults

Adults in life transitions

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

Excite – visitation or service to the sick, dying or family who has lost a loved one. possibly service of some sort at funerals – I like to hug! Starting a ministry for special needs adults.
I wouldn’t say I have any concerns, but teaching an deep dive Bible study does not “excite” me.

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

I received Christ at the age of 12 at church camp. At that time, I was struggling with my Dad’s alcoholism and was searching for a way to release my fear and find comfort. My camp counselor shared the gospel with me and I received Christ knowing that I know had a Heavenly Father who would always care, comfort and love me, and take care of my Mom, Brother and me.
