Who you are:
You are someone who feels that God is leading them into full-time ministry.  You are a self-starter, quick learner, someone who loves a challenge, has a heart to serve, a positive attitude, flexibility, a sense of humor, and an ability to work in a team environment.  If you are pursing a seminary degree or have prior ministry experience in your desired track, that's a plus, but as long as you feel that God is leading you into full-time ministry, this may be a great opportunity for you!
