Every pastor needs to have prayer warriors; intercessors for their ministry.  They are the “soldiers” on the front line of the spiritual battle.  Prayer is our way of strengthening their hands for the ministry.  So begin now to pray daily for these servants of the Lord.  The pastor’s wife is in the battle with their husbands.  So pray for them both this month.

Shepherds are special people as they lead the sheep that they have been given from God.  The responsibility is huge.  Remaining humble in their fulfillment of the task is the daily battle.  The enemy is strong, therefore they must remain firm in their faith and endure to the end.  Preparing more pastors to lead the people must continue to be our main goal.  Keeping them in the ministry faithfully serving is a life long process.  So they also need someone to encourage them along the way.

Have a great day in the Lord.

Because Christ is our chief shepherd,

Lynford and Sharon Regier
