Entry for August 18, 2008
I wrote last week that one of our pastors was feeling low and needed your prayers for encouragement. Today, I had lunch with several men and was told of another pastor who was struggling and needs our prayer support. Today there is a shortage of pastors in many denominations including ours. If our pastors become discouraged, or are unable to make an appropriate living being a pastor, they are in danger of leaving their church or perhaps leaving the ministry altogether. We need to increase our efforts to be supportive of our pastors through prayer and meaningful encouragement. Take the time to pray for these two pastors and your pastor right now!
