"One of the greatest benefits of MyDecisionHelper.com is that it can help pastoral and staff Search Committees know the right questions and issues to explore with a candidate. It helps each of the members recognize what it is that they value the most, making the whole process more transparent and objective. It also is tremendously helpful for committee members to organize and properly evaluate the information they are receiving. I am confident that any Search Committee would benefit greatly from using this tool." - Scott Z., Pastoral Candidate, Houston, TX
