Being a Pastor is one of the toughest jobs in the world…but also one of the most rewarding.  It can be very lonely, frustrating, challenging, as well as invigorating, encouraging, and motivational.  It all depends on your perspective…and having God’s perspective.

I hope this week’s blog will be of encouragement and support to you as pastors and a help to church members to know better how to minister and pray for their pastors.

Yours brother in Christ,
Ray
Pr. 3:5-6

Quote: “If you want to be more humble, do what humble people do…never lose your gratitude, take the low place, learn something from everyone, share credit, confess your sins before addressing the sins of others.” Carey Nieuwhof

Thanks, I appreciate this reminder. So often Pastors are taken for granted.
