Everything was just slow. Nothing really was happening. No prayer meetings, discipleship and leadership trainings. Once i suggested to have a prayer and fasting series, they said to break the fasting by 3pm cause this is the first time members will do this and they&#39;re not used doing this, and after that one and only event nothing follows. Also I was so shocked to see the catatonic pastor&#39;s facial reaction when me and my husband suggested to add afternoon service, and the chaplain pastor commented that the workers are tired already. Yes, definitely they&#39;ll get tired because they are not training their members. same faces every sunday, no growth in numbers and spirituality of members. Few are tithe giver. Glad our first family church planted church in the area where we live now. Holding 4 services in the afternoon and soon will add more during morning. In three months time all services in the afteroon are full. And have regular prayer and fasting schedules, and trainings. - Marina TolentinoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502430449872760278.post-74836164615192286032009-07-12T13:26:01.199-04:002009-07-12T13:26:01.199-04:00Hi,<br /><br /> I would like to share with you a good ebook that&#39;s free to <br /><br />help pastors and their wives with discouragement and burnout.

For example, when I read the description of a catalytic pastor I immediately thought of my pastor. I'm on the launch team of a young church plant (part of the archetype) and I can definitely say that my pastor would not survive in the "wrong" church. He's too driven to wait years for change to occur; he has to see it quickly, even if it's only a small sign. If we're not moving forward it begins to eat at him. Coming from a church that is pastored by a catatonic pastor, it's been a big difference. I wouldn't say that I was lazy before, but being surrounded by people who share my drive to see progress and desire to reach local communities for Jesus pretty much lit a fire under my, well, you know.jdjoneshttp://jdjones.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502430449872760278.post-52414420573058946982008-08-31T07:18:31.984-04:002008-08-31T07:18:31.984-04:00I think each of them have good and bad, except for perhaps the catatonic pastor...I can't find too much good in that profile.Bill Reicharthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15760818211029009936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502430449872760278.post-6725583420665744322008-08-29T16:31:47.771-04:002008-08-29T16:31:47.771-04:00not that you could rank them, but would one be better than the others?Vincehttp://www.nikao.wsnoreply@blogger.com
