Why TeamMates in Ministry?

According to a recent survey of pastors in the United States:

90% feel inadequately trained to cope with the demands of ministry.
80% say ministry has had a negative effect on their marriage and family.
40% consider quitting every Monday morning.
1600 pastors in the United States leave ministry every month!

H.B. London, Jr., head of Focus on the Family's Pastor Care Department says, "Many hold on by their fingernails, hoping to find a hidden spring to refresh their weary spirits and scrambled thoughts."*

We're On Your Team

After nearly 40 years in full-time vocational ministry in missions and the pastorate, we sensed the leading of the Lord to invest this next season of our life primarily honoring and waiting on those servants of God who are always giving themselves away. 

There are so many who deserve to be on the receiving end of ministry for a change. We mean it when we say we can’t wait to wait on others so they can wait upon the LORD.

"Yet those who wait for the LORD
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary."
Isaiah 40:31

Thus, TeamMates In Ministry was birthed early in 2004. 

Our mission is

to lavish the love of God 
on the servants of God 
so they can better fulfill the call of God on their lives.

If you, or someone you know, is in need of refreshment and encouragement, perhaps God would use us as one of his means to supply just that.  We live with the conviction that God has teamed us together to encourage others in ministry, marriage and life!

Remember When ...

... you sensed God calling you into the ministry?
... you saw God opening doors and hearts?
... you felt God's guidance and blessing?
... you looked forward to Sundays with anticipation 
and looked back on them with joy?
... you and your wife felt like you were teammates in ministry?
... you and your staff felt like you were teammates in ministry?
... you knew you were fulfilling God's purpose 
even when it didn't feel fulfilling?
... you were able to receive criticism or praise 
without it distorting your perspective?
... you ministered out of overflow rather than deficit?
... you felt like a shepherd rather than a hireling?
... your wife felt you were married to her, not to the ministry?
... you were on the receiving end of ministry?
