How to Better Support Your Pastor: What Churches Need to Understand (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798868502590)

Jim Fuller is a minister, licensed professional counselor, author, and the founder and Executive Director of Pastoral Care, Inc., one of the largest ministries for pastors and churches in America.

Through a lifetime of church work, serving as a deacon for over 45 years, and helping thousands of churches across America, Jim has personally witnessed churches who supports their pastor along with their vision are churches that are dynamic, powerful, and making a difference in their communities.

Unfortunately, some churches have never learned this. A big part of God's plan is for the church to take care of the pastor's needs and embrace the vision that God has laid on their heart. Statistics reveal pastors often feel discouraged, alone, and unappreciated due to a lack of support. While most church members love their pastor, love coming to church for worship, fellowship, and being blessed by God, few, if any support their pastor in a way that pleases God. Jim provides practical insight to three important questions:

- Can the church and pastor have a united vision to do what God has called them to do?

- Is the church doing everything it can do to make a difference in the lives of people inside and outside of the church?

- And is the church body doing everything it can to embrace, support, and take care of God's messenger? If not, why? And whose direction are they following?

America needs the church like it has never needed to before! By better supporting your pastor "as a person" and as your spiritual leader, pastors become energized to encourage the church body to focus on what they are called to do--reach the lost. The church can make a powerful difference in your community by simply honoring and blessing God's messenger and following the vision God has laid on their heart.
