I studied Social Work because I believed in essence it was his role when he was here. He healed the sick, solved problems, ministered to the poor. The first Deacons in the Church were Social Workers as well. Becoming a Social Worker was my way of following in his footsteps and was a faith based decision.

I think Jesus would work in the Disability field because he would make sure everyone whether they be Clients or Staff Members would be catered for whether it be Payments for the Staff Members, Funding for the Day service where he would work at or listening to the Clients needs or making sure the bus drivers were paid what they were due. Then He would bring those people who believe in Him to Heaven to be with Him & God.
