5. Thank you for taking the time to considermy resume for the position of Pastor. I heard of the anticipated opening by
your Pastor, and am happy to be considered as a candidate.
1 Timothy 3:1-7, gives the job description for the office of a bishop/pastor. And as for me too, it is a true saying,“If
a man desire the office of a bishop,he desireth a good work.” I truly desire to continue to do a good work. I endeavor
daily to fulfill my job description in the aforementioned scriptures.
As you peruse my resume, it will exemplify my passion for God, His people, and the church. I am a servant of God
and have the heart of a servant. I was called in the ministry at the early age of 14, and throughout my involvement in
ministry for the past 21 years my heart has only grown deeper for our Lord and Savior and our Father’s business. My
heart and gifting are in the areas of pastoralcare and discipleship, and my burden is to continue to equip the saints and
to build up the next generation of disciples for the Kingdom.
Wheneverpossible, I would love to meet with you and learn more about the church and ministry and would love for
you to eventually meet my family, if opportunity presents itself.
Again, I look forward to hearing from you and sharing even more with you in the very near future.
Amazed by His Grace,
Roderick D. Sailes
