In Collaboration With
• Pastors’ families are valued by the church
and deserve our support as they serve the
local church.
• Many PKs experience unique challenges and
would greatly benefit from an understanding
and nurturing support system.
Why Start this ministry?
• Many PKs are alienated from God and His Church.
With fervent faith, prayer, and wise, gentle guidance,
this disengagement can be reversed.
• Most PKs possess a heritage of mission and many
gifts; they can be ignited to live the promise of Joel
2:28, 29 for God’s Spirit to be poured out on them.
