WHEN CHOOSING EMPLOYMENT

 Note how Javier, a brother in South America, saw the need to walk by faith. He says: I had applied for a prestigious job that would double my salary and provide considerable personal satisfaction." However, Javier had the deep desire to pioneer. He continues: "I was recommended for an interview with the national manager. Before the interview, I prayed for help, convinced that Jehovah knew what was best for me. I wanted to progress professionally, but I did not want this job if it would not help me to reach my spiritual goals."

Javier relates: "During the interview, the manager told me that I would work regularly have to work overtime. I kindly pointed out that I couldn't do that because of my ministry." Yes, Javier rejected the offer. Two weeks later, he started pioneering. and later that year, he found a part-time job. He says: Jehovah heard my prayers and provided a job that fit my pioneer schedule. I am truly happy to have word that allows me to dedicate more time to serve Jehovah and my brothers."
