November Newsletter                                      Pastoral Care, Inc Newsletter

I recently came across an article listing the Top 10 Church Problems Pastors Face. They are:

1.     JOB-RELATED STRESS

2.     FEELINGS OF LONELINESS & ISOLATION

3.     POLITICAL & CULTURAL DIVISIONS

4.     DECLINING CHURCH ATTENDANCE

5.     INEFFECTIVE DISCIPLESHIP MODELS

6.     DISCONNECTED DIGITAL TOOLS

7.     FINANCIAL & ECONOMIC REALITIES

8.     BALANCING MINISTRY AND FAMILY TIME

9.     DISTRACTIONS & DISCOURAGEMENT

10. DEVELOPING LEADERS & VOLUNTEERS

Not having enough time for prayer or sermon preparation was not included but could be included under number 9.

I have listed these in our November Newsletter for these reasons:

1. Ministry can be difficult but...You don't have to accept these as barriers!
2. You are an over comer through Jesus Christ. He provides help and direction for our lives. We must trust Him and not be distracted.
3. You are not alone. You have Pastoral Care. We bless and encourage thousands of pastors every year, helping make their ministry more fulfilling and purposeful.

Please don't be hindered by articles or negative comments from others. You are called into a marvelous work! You are a blessing to us, your church, and your community! If you need encouragement or help, contact the ministry who truly cares about you--Pastoral Care, Inc.

Thank You Pastors for All You Do!!!

"The Struggle is Real"

President Harry S. Truman said, "the buck stops here," which became a famous expression for his belief that he was ultimately responsible for the decisions made during his presidency. He kept a sign on his desk with this phrase to emphasize that he would not "pass the buck" to anyone else. President Truman was forced to make some of the greatest decisions in the history of America. 

There are times at my desk when I bow my head and say, "I don't know what to do." I know it is my responsibility to make the decision. I accept that, but that doesn't make it any easier. The Struggle is real. 

I know the Lord is with me. I know He will give wisdom to those who ask. I know He cares. I also know there is a group of fellow believers with Pastoral Care Inc. who will listen to me and help me. They can give me resources and directions to make those difficult decisions.

We believe in you Pastor. Stay true to the Lord and you will be more than an over comer. Pastoral Care, Inc. is here for you also.
