HOME-FRONT SUPPORT

It occurred to me the other day, the possibility that a correlation exists or may exist between the health of the church and the families therein and the strength of the pastor and his/her family.

At the very least, I would imagine some sort of disconnect relationally, as a Pastor prays and encourages and helps those in the congregation, but can't or doesn't experience a similar breakthrough in their personal lives. The gap or disconnect probably grows, the more frustrating the circumstances become at home.

Perhaps it's just me, but I know I would have difficulty managing.

So today, pray for the home-front of your pastors.

Pray for a strengthening in the lives of their families. In their marriages. In their children. Financial. Emotional.

Healthy pastors build healthy congregations.  Healthy congregations build healthy communities.
