Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, 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

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

13 yrs old. In great Christ centered church family. Always knew about Jesus. Served in church. Every Saturday night the church would take a buss load of kids to a local youth rally. At Kansas City Youth for Christ one of our adult leaders saw I raised my hand when if anyone wanted to accept Jesus. Ask if I wanted to go forward and that he’d go with me. I did.

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

student ministry adult volunteer leader at westside family church started with a group,of 6th grade boys. They are now seniors in high school (7yrs)

Early childhood ministry working with 2/3yr olds westside family church (6 1/2 yrs)

Adult leader on Sunday and Wednesday nights for student ministry as a whole aside from being a life group leader

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

Sing brought up in a loving Christ centered church family

Learning doing small personal things for people has as big or bigger impact on people than large very public things

The more I serve and let myself be used, the more I get back in return.

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:

Friends parents divorcing. Made me realiE how blessed I am to,have the parents I do. 60 yrs married this coming July.

What all men struggle with. Porn.

Sexual purity in a world that says if it feels good do it.
