A Christian Conversation On Laborers Day

September 4, 2020

“I don’t like to talk about work or labor, I like to think about workers and laborers,” Pastor Juan says. “Work is a philosophical, sociological idea. When you talk about laborers and workers you are talking about people. This is not about a concept, it is about real people.”
