00By the way, how should I interpret "preacher?" Does it refer to pastor or missionary?0-

0My understanding is that "pastors" and "missionaries" have many responsibilities in addition to "preaching." A preacher is usually a person who stands in front of a congregation and delivers a sermon. He may or may not be a pastor or a missionary.02br
