Tip

We do accept other job description templates. Please ensure it includes some specific verbiage about ministerial work that may be missing from the above non-Reliant template. For example, the Reliant template mentions that "All Reliant missionaries are considered ministers of the gospel, called to lead and serve others in ministry."
