"I learned that God's Word applies in the job and my life."
"I learned that in order to work and keep a job, it requires honesty, perseverance, trust, diligence, and compassion."
"I learned a lot about God. I was in doubt about the Lord becuase of the way mom treated me. Growing up was hard. I learned so much, but the main thing is if you follow the Lord's weord in the job community you will prosper."
