One of my greatest joys is to come alongside a fellow pastor and encourage him by offering a listening ear, prayer, and practical experience from my own ministry journey.
\nBear one another\u2019s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:2, NKJV)
\nMy wife, Jeanne, and I have been involved in many different aspects of ministry since 1970, the first year we were married. We spent over eight years dealing with young and wayward folks in street ministry and in Christian house ministry. As a worship leader, song writer, Internet Technician, Bible teacher and Christian life discipler, I\u2019ve watched the Lord use this vessel purely by His grace and mercy over the years.
\nNow after almost 30 years of pastoring in the same church I had the privilege of planting, my wife and I have a great desire to help our co-laborers in Christ in whatever way that is needed. It might be me filling in as a guest teacher in a couple of services so the pastor and his wife can get away for a week or two. It might be that we could come alongside of the pastor and his wife in a difficult situation in their ministry and life. It might be for me to speak at a men\u2019s retreat, a marriage retreat or to train in Inductive Bible Study Methods.
\nMy wife also looks forward to just being an encourager to those pastor\u2019s wives out there that feel like they are all alone and lost in the midst of it all. She is also available to teach at any Women\u2019s events your church may have.
\nSo if we can be of service to you in any way, just contact Poimen Ministries and let them know. God bless.
