Beja: I pastored two churches that were quite small, less than 16 people. There was growth but it took the Holy Spirit to direct every step of the way. Without the dedication of my wife and family (our four children) to endure the hardships of living in a very small community, 70 miles from anywhere. We managed on sixty five dollars a week and traveling eighty five miles each way every day to attend seminary. To say I totally respect pastors is a under statement. My Bi-vocational experience was so challenging. Growth in small rural churches takes time and cannot be measured the same as inner city churches. I found the denomination was constantly using training in the way that bigger churches grew. I am pleased to say this was long ago and methods and training are different now. The smallest church of the two used a tape recording of music to sing hymns by. We adapted to the people and what resources we had or could find. The challenges of a any postor I think is to not mix preparing sermons with private Bible study and prayer. Beja, I will remenber you in prayer when I pray for those I know in ministry. Blessings. justem |
