Pastors Helping Pastors


Imagine losing your home, your church, and members of your family. Imagine you are a pastor, someone people look to for guidance, but you are experiencing the same hurt, shock, and despair many of your people are dealing with. I can't imagine it, but I am about to see it once again as I leave for Haiti with Churches Helping Churches. Our focus will be on ministering to pastors as they have a key role in Haitian society. But as people come to them for help, guidance, encouragement, etc., to whom do they turn to when they are hurting.

So you can call this conference pastors helping pastors. We are going to Haiti to equip and train these men to understand Post-Traumatic Stress. Even more important, we want to encourage, help, and minister to these men of God and the needs and hurts they are trying to cope with. There are four of us who are pastors coming from the US, and another 15 pastors who are Haitian and living in the US. We will provide large group teaching sessions, small group sessions where pastors can share their experiences, and individual counseling with us.

Pray for God's blessing on this conference and even that it would be the start of revival among the peopleo of Haiti.

Blessings,

Dr. Paul
