The unity of God's people
Recently, my wife and I took a short trip to a beautiful mountain town in Washington.
Great peaks, beautiful scenery, but it still pales in comparison to our beautiful land here in Bonner County. Our trip was for a pastors' retreat, and we got to meet up with roughly 40 other couples in ministry all throughout the Pacific Northwest. I am always amazed at how well most of our churches and especially the pastors in our region get along after hearing of what happens in other towns and areas like ours.
Most ministries are built on the dedication of God-fearing people who have a deep abiding love and passion for their community. A recent study revealed that most pastors find themselves isolated and without real friends outside of their core ministry teams. The burden that many pastors carry as they care and tend for the spiritual health of a community is a burden that often goes unnoticed and unrecognized.
