Re-writing Shackleton's advert

Earnest Shackleton wrote this advert:
Doncaster is in the top ten least Christian towns in the country, even in the midst of a largely unevangelised and unchurched county (Yorkshire), it stands out. What would an advert like Shackleton's for moving to Doncaster for the gospel look like?

FOLLOWERS OF JESUS WANTED for hard calling, small churches, few resources, long years of seeing little evangelistic fruit, few people your own age, constant suspicion by locals (at least for the first 15years), establishing of numerically large churches doubtful, honour and recognition only in glory.

Not sure we'll get the thousands responding he did!
