“I am the Good Shepherd; I know
my sheep and my sheep know me.” John 10:17
Being a shepherd is a messy business. Sheep butt heads, smell bad, and make
a lot of noise. They wander, get hurt, and venture into dangerous territory.
Shepherding requires wisdom, courage, vision, and a willingness to get dirty.
Where do our shepherds - ministers and pastors - get the courage and heart
to continue the work? What does it take to know and follow the Shepherd? Pastors
Retreat Network offers a quiet place where pastors can hear the Shepherd’s
voice, gain strength, recover vision, and rest in His arms. They leave refreshed,
with a new passion for ministry.
Hundreds of thousands of pastors yearn for time with Him. They come from churches
of all sizes and all denominations. They are scattered all across America. And
they are leaving the ministry in droves.
- An estimated 1600 pastors leave the ministry each month
- 70% of clergy report that they do not have a close colleague, confidant
or mentor
- An estimated 100,000 churches in North America will close in the next decade
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
You
can help.
Pastors Retreat Network is a powerful instrument in the spiritual lives of
pastors and spouses. The Master Shepherd refreshes, revives, and re-creates
the hearts of pastors and by extension, the people they serve. A stronger, healthier
church is the result.
