The Need

In today's world, ministers, missionaries and other Christian leaders are all on the front lines of spiritual conflict. Even in the best of times, those in ministry can feel isolated and alone, overwhelmed with the demands of ministry, burned out, and experiencing relational difficulties with family, staff, or those with whom they serve.

In America today...

1400 pastors leave the ministry each month,

70% of them say they have no one they can consider a close friend, and

almost a quarter will experience a forced exit some time in their ministry.
