1. Why Care Ministry Matters

In this episode, I'm sharing why I feel that Care Ministry is so incredibly important and a little about my journey and experiences.

Churches are on the front lines of supporting people through suffering and challenges.  Every day we have people in our congregations struggling with addictions, mental health grief, loss, physical health challenges and stress.   Ministry leaders are first responders for their members and often the surrounding community. And yet it doesn’t have the resources, training and staff that many community support organizations have.  

I often see and hear leaders saying that “we don’t have the resources to be a crisis centre”   “We aren’t able to tend to everyone.”  And I agree, but people are desperate for a place where they can belong, find purpose and have hope.  By investing in your care ministry you create an environment for these three elements to flourish and where lives can be transformed.
