“I am very thankful for the scholarship provided by MVLC, and encourage your committee and congregation to continue the good work of supporting more laborers as they endeavor to enter into the Lord’s vineyard. As you very well know, the harvest is plentiful (though a bit stubborn) but the laborers are few. Let us continue in our prayers to the Lord of the Harvest to continue sending laborers.”
