Pastors

Pastors

Of

all the offices in the Five-Fold ministry, there is perhaps none more demanding

than the office of Pastor. While the Teacher, Evangelist,

Prophet and Apostle

can, at least to some extent, insulate and separate themselves from the

people they minister to, the Pastor is involved 24x7

with the needs and

concerns of his flock. While the Teacher ministers to the mind of the believer,

the Pastor ministers to and tries to protect the

heart of his/her congregation. A

nd, based on his 35 years in the pastoral ministry, it is obvious to Dr.

Young that the overwhelming majority of

the problems which average believers

face deal, not with doctrine, but rather with emotional issues. Affairs

of the heart, not the head, tend to

rule in the lives of people, no matter

if they are believers or not. It is this enormous emotional drain that

causes many pastors to burn out and

leave the ministry long before their

term of service to the Lord is over. The caring, involved Pastor has to d

eal with a steady stream of

emotional

crises all day and all night long

yet often has no one to turn to for his or her own emotional recharging.

Too often, the flow is only

out toward

others, and never in toward the minister.

In addition, car accidents, births, deaths and other crises cannot be handled

with the use

of a daily

planner. The

Global Revival Network Bible

College is committed to providing not only education for the man or woman

of God but

also a

support network of committed, Spirit-filled mentors and

peers who have

"Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt, sent the post card!"

and who

understand

the enormous demands that the pastoral ministry places on the lives of the

saints of God themselves from the people they

minister

to.
