Aprašymas

Lord of the harvest, we hear that you need laborers.
For our benefit, please review the qualifications.

Will biblical knowledge be a consideration?
Is there an age limitation?
How about ethnic origin? Any preferences there?

Does family background enhance our chances of a good assignment?

Excuse me? These things are irrelevant?
Jesus is the only reference required?

Forgive me for asking too many questions.
I am ready to work, Lord. It is quite obvious
that you are going to have to help me.
Thank you, Lord. Amen.
