Guidelines
These are only guidelines. They are not "set in stone". We will not turn you down just because you don't fit into one or more particular guideline. If you don't fit into several of the guidelines, it doesn't mean that we won't consider you, but it could be the deciding factor between several projects. Many projects didn't fit our "mold" but God chose for us to do that project.
