Ministers help us . . . Let's help them! Christian leaders in America desperately need our help. The dropout rate of American ministers is staggering.
(per Focus on the Family and the Barna group)
- 1500 ministers leave their assignments each month due to moral failure, spiritual burnout, or contention within their church congregations
- 80% of ministers are discouraged and deal with depression
- 49% of ministers contend that their family life has suffered significantly due to the demands and pressures of ministry
(per Focus on the Family and the Barna group)
"We have found that most members of the clergy feel isolated, insecure, and only rarely affirmed." H. B. London, Jr (Focus on the Family)
These statements are quite alarming. To our knowledge, there have been no recent studies on these trends, but we at SHOR Ministries sadly believe that these statistics have risen in the past decade. Because of this increase, God has placed a burden on our hearts to help hurting church leaders and their spouses. SHOR Ministries exist to come alongside and bear up these wonderful servants of Jesus Christ. However, we cannot do this daunting task alone. Just as we bear the burdens of the hurting ministry couple, we need burden bearers ourselves.
TOGETHER WE CAN SLOW THE TREND!
