Ministry is more of a “Thru-Hike” than a “Day Hike.” …And sometimes it gets really hard.
How do you stay in ministry for the long trail? How do you stay true to your calling? Discovering the answers to these questions and helping other Pastors and Ministers along the trail is the heart of Ministry Backpack.
Do any of these statements describe you?
- I’m at the “Trail Head” of Ministry – I’m just starting out. It’d be nice to have a guide for the journey and maybe see a few maps.
- I’ve been down many trails in ministry, and am in the middle of one, now. It’d be nice to have a few friends with me to “talk shop” around the campfire.
- I’m having a tough time on this trail. It’s starting to feel more like a “death march,” and I’m thinking of leaving ministry all together.
- I’m just facing some challenges on the journey, and could use some encouragement.
- I would appreciate some insights from someone who has been in ministry longer than I have.
- I’m actually enjoying the adventure, but could use some fresh ideas and tools.
If you can relate to any of these statements, then welcome, friend. You’ve come to the right place.
It’s time to gear up, lace up, have a cup of coffee, and breathe the fresh air. You have a high calling, and there are people to lead and mountains to climb. The expedition of ministry is before us. Now strap on your backpack, and let’s get going…
Ministry Backpack exists to provide encouragement and resources for the “long trail” – the adventure of ministry.
