Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, 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

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

I have the privilege of being born to Christian Parents and have always been immersed in a Christian environment since childhood. I had a personal encounter with the Lord at the age of 11 years old while worshiping the Lord in Children’s Church. I encountered the love of God and felt it in a very tangible warm feeling. That was the same moment that I encountered the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

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

Berean Assembly of God, Singapore – Lay ministry (Youth, Worship, Tech)
1997-2002

Centre of New Life, Singapore – Lay ministry (Worship, Tech) 2003-2005

Trinity Christian Centre, Singapore – Full Time (Youth, Worship, Tech, Broadcast, Small Groups, Leadership Development Course) 2006-2020

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

Call of God on my life at 15/16 years of age

Spiritual Encounters with the Lord. Moved me from knowing about Him to experience who He is.

Breakthroughs in the Spirit to hear and obey and see miracles, signs, and wonders and also accuracy in the prophetic.

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:

Confronted by close friends at the age of 16 because I was too task-driven. Set me on a path to rely on God to shape me.

Big quarrel with wife in year one of marriage… I was too quick to reply and lacked grace in my speech. Set me on a path to allow God to shape me in my temperament and outworking of it through my speech.

Found freedom in preaching and not to be bound by the style my former mentor wanted to shape me to follow.

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. Inspiring a younger leadership to rise up to serve the Lord and to disciple them towards the fullness of all God wants for them

4. To see Pastors in rural ministries supported and equipped as they walk in obedience to their call.

5. To be financially versatile enough to go anywhere or do whatever God wants me to for His ministry
