I want to share with you today a note we received from a pastor and his family that we had the privilege of putting in a home here in Leesburg made available to us by one of our snowbirds.
I am writing to let you know how grateful my family and I are for Care for Pastors ministry. We went to your place feeling completely exhausted, burned and even defeated. The short time that we spent with you and your beautiful congregation was enough for God to begin a process of restoration and as a result we now feel renewed, refreshed and recharged.
Many people will never know the loneliness that we, pastors sometimes experience doing ministry. For young pastors like me, it is easy to get discouraged when you feel you have given everything you have and still see little or no results. I must confess that the first days as your place I felt like an addict that needed detoxified from…believe it or not, ministry.
I am only 37 years old, but according to my doctor I was already at risk with heart problems. My heart was not only tender physically, but emotionally. Thank you for treating me with such kindness and tenderness. Pastor Ron and Rodetta, you ministered to my heart with your love, your patience and sweet kindness. You are truly pastors to pastors!
Pastor from south Florida
