We cannot complete the task that is before us without your help.  Thank you for:
  • Prayers - first and foremost
  • Your Encouraging words
  • Your financial gifts.

The Average size church in North America today is around 200-250.  1,000 Pastor's leave ministry per month.  It's lonely and it's hard work.  They need us to encourage them and support them in continuing the work God has called them.  

 

In a recent survey ministry wives were asked about the realities of where they live -  

 

 Realities:(These are just a few that were shared)
  • Uncertain at times of her call 
  • Isolated
  • Unapproved
  • Lonely
  • Discouraged
  • Financial Constraints
