Did you know about 1,500 Christian pastors leave the ministry each month ? Have you ever gone looking for a pastor to help you in your time of need? As you know, many unexpected events can happen in your life: accidents, sickness, the loss of a job, a financial crisis, arguments and many other personal and family problems you must always deal with either at home or at work.One time-honored way you can use to get help during any of your personal crisis situations is to pick up your telephone and call the pastor of your church. You can tell him what’s happening in your life. What’s more, you can be sure your pastor will listen to you, pray with you and give you his best advice. In short, you can depend on your pastor to come alongside and help you because he is one of the most caring friends you have in the whole wide world.Have you ever wondered whom the person is that your pastor calls when he has similar problems? Fact is, seventy percent (70%) of the many thousands of pastors recently interviewed do not have a close friend to call on in their times of need!Think about this: more than 1,500 Christian pastors leave the ministry each month! Why? Because they are; discouraged, spiritually burned out, grossly underpaid and have marriages that are on the brink of failure because being a pastor demands far too much of their time and energy.
Now you can do something to help your pastor and others like him!
This summer there will be brand new week-long leadership-training seminars offered to Christian pastors in Ocean Grove, NJ. There, with the help of the Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association, Compass Point International will provide a professionally trained coaching staff to teach all attending pastors a variety of specialized skills they can use to help them be better pastors and have more satisfying and rewarding careers in their unique calling in the days and years ahead of them. In short, these classes are designed to help these thousands of struggling Christian pastors find the best solutions to both professional and family problems. Your financial help is needed to make it possible for as many pastors as possible to attend these life changing and very special seminars. Funds are needed now - before it is too late – before those thousands of pastors (approximately 18,000 this year) are forced to leave the calling they love - the Christian ministry. Here are three positive steps you can take today to help your pastor and others like him: (1) You are urged to think and pray about this overwhelming need of Christian pastors. (2) Next, you can write a check for as much as you can afford to be used to help pay the expenses of your pastor and other Christian pastors like him as they take a week off to attend one of these very helpful and rewarding seminars. Seminars designed to help them renew their enthusiasm for the ministry and gain the many long-lasting benefits of this new kind of specialized training. (3) Today is the day for you to send your contribution to: Compass Point International (a non-profit corporation), where your money will be used to pay for: study materials, professional leadership training by experts, the use of classroom facilities on the beautiful Ocean Grove, New Jersey campus as well as travel and lodging expenses for any and all low-income pastors who are not able to afford to attend the seminars without this kind of financial help.
