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.

Why Start this ministry?
