 ===== Introduction =====
 ==== Use What You Have ====
-Before we get to a detailed list of departments and job descriptions, we would like to remind you that with our model, one person alone can operate a mini-print center. Of course it is nice to have more people. But start with what you have. If you are willing for God to use you, and you have a printer, you can start!
+Before reviewing the detailed list of departments, remember this:
+with our model, **a single person can operate a mini print center**.
-You can view this list of departments as a reminder of areas not to neglect. Do your best to manage God's work wisely and faithfully. With a very small team, it may be necessary for one or two people to be responsible for all the departments of the work. As God provides more people to help, delegate the work out to others as they have the skills and interest to manage a department.
+Of course, having a team is preferable. But start with what you have.
+If you are available to God and you have a printer, you can already begin the work.
+Consider this list not as a heavy structure, but as **a reminder of important areas that should not be neglected**.
+With a small team, one or two people may cover multiple departments.
+As God sends more workers, responsibilities can be progressively delegated according to each person’s gifts and skills.
