Rebuild the Pastors

Testimonies and Comments...

Below are quotes from some Church Leaders.

 

“Thank you for teaching me that there is a way to speak out the truth, whilst no longer being naive or stifled by the reactions it provokes. All of this has reinforced for me the need for deep roots into God on a discipleship road following Jesus instead of the spiritual poverty of a congregation that looks to human pastors for quick fix solutions on a Sunday morning and get disappointed whilst refusing to really let God examine and refine their own hearts. Grateful for your faithful service...”

 

“..It grieves my heart deeply when any Christian suffers spiritual abuse, whether a Leader or otherwise, but it's so good that you have brought up this issue of abuse suffered by leaders…”

 

“So sad to see that many of us who profess to follow Jesus just don’t get the complexities of what it is like to lead a church, let alone the personal sacrifices that leaders face.”

 

“Deeply moved by this blog. It reads like my life story...”

 

"I have been part of a church where we as congregation members were encouraged to ask for blessing on all decisions in our life from the leadership of the church. We were taught that we had to check with our leaders for guidance and only they carry the final word. I am amazed that I believed that teaching and since being in leadership myself this memory has helped me try and create a culture of freedom for the people I pastor. But nothing prepared me for the level of hatred when things go wrong in people’s life, somehow it is still my fault, when all I have done is smile, try and support them and pray for them."
