Day 13 Gift Idea: Rural Ministry Mentors

Today we highlight mentoring rural pastors. Different ministry contexts require different ways of leading and relating to the community. For pastors who have not experienced rural settings before, making the transition to this context can be a challenge.

CHICAGO, IL (December 13, 2018) – Throughout the Advent season, Covenant Newswire is highlighting daily gift selections from the CovenantCares giving guide. Through the free annual catalog, Covenanters can partner with brothers and sisters around the globe to give gift donations that will help serve communities and advance God’s work in many areas.

Today we highlight mentoring rural pastors. Different ministry contexts require different ways of leading and relating to the community. For pastors who have not experienced rural settings before, making the transition to this context can be a challenge.

To help pastors who are serving rural churches for the first time, Start and Strengthen Churches offers coaching from experienced pastors. Your gift will provide a month of coaching. This and other missional gift-giving options are available now through CovenantCares Gifts for Mission. Please join us in advancing the mission.
