Pastors and teachers are necessary to train and support believers already committed to following Christ but create very little activity in the marketplace. "Idle in the Marketplace” explains the disconnect of the Church from the marketplace that causes a disconnect in effectiveness for building the Kingdom.

Umina s clever words and expressions will entice you right up until the very end when Milo and his friends compassion is rewarded with a surprise visitor at Sunday service; a visitor that makes all of their acts of kindness well worth the effort.
