After 15 years, I pastor a church with 75 members with an annual budget of $103,000. Pastors, let no one measure the significance of your ministry based on the amount of people and money in your church.

Got this message from our guy in Brazil… “Coming back from a trip to the North of Brazil, a needy region but with faithful pastors too. Each pastor/leader/seminarian received a copy of your The Pastor’s Ministry in Portuguese. Thankful for your labor in the Lord, brother.”

Pray for your pastor tonight. He might be overthinking his sermon that is still not done.

We had a very encouraging @practicalsheph board meeting today. Some in person and some online. Very thankful for this group of men and women. Exciting direction. The future is very bright!

I want to encourage any pastor on here to do this 6 week cohort with my good friend Ronnie Martin. As his co-author to the unhurried pastor book, I am confident this will be a blessing to any pastor. Register here. https://t.co/0jFrdMG9yX

Pastors, God works all things for our good…including a brutally hard ministry situation. But it will definitely require faith to believe this promise from God. But it is true for you.

Stuck in Dallas on hour 36 of our trip home with 2 cancelled flights hoping this third flight we are about to board is the charm. Thanks for praying us home. @spandlerdavison

Just finished our ministry in New Zealand. Very fruitful trip, connected with some faithful pastors, and good progress made to further the work of @churchinhardplc here. @spandlerdavison Thanks for praying. Starting our long journey home.

We joined The Pastor’s Heart podcast and talked pastoral ministry. https://t.co/g7hTbYO155

We made it to Christ Church, New Zealand and have had a full day of events at Emmett Street Community Church. I led a discussion with ministry leaders on perseverance and @spandlerdavison spoke in the evening on Trauma, abuse and the gospel. Thanks for praying.

We made it to Auckland, New Zealand. Full 4 days of ministry starts tomorrow. Thanks for praying. @practicalsheph @churchinhardplc @spandlerdavison

We spoke at a church event tonight on the importance to plant churches in deprived communities. We shared that some go and some stay. How do you determine God’s call? A fruitful last night in Australia. Tomorrow morning we head to New Zealand. @practicalsheph @churchinhardplc

A well-known pastor’s podcasts in Sydney Australia, The Pastor’s Heart, interviewed myself and @spandlerdavison today about perseverance in the ministry. Watch and listen here. @practicalsheph @churchinhardplc https://t.co/g7hTbYOyUD

I had a full and fruitful Sunday in Sydney Australia. Preached in the morning at Belvoir Street Baptist Church and recorded a podcast with their pastor, Stephen McKay. Then drove to the west side to preach this evening at Emmanuel Baptist Church. Incredible churches.

This first pastor’s event on perseverance here in Sydney Australia went well. Tomorrow preaching in the morning and evening. @spandlerdavison

There are all kinds of books on church leadership, as well as church structure. But there are few books that address the particular polity of congregational Baptist churches, and the unique unhealthy patterns that emerge from them. And even fewer books explain how to steer them

After 36 hours we arrived in Sydney, Australia. Walking the Sydney harbor trying to stay.awake to get on the right time here. Ministry meeting start this afternoon and first pastor event begins tomorrow. Thanks for praying. @spandlerdavison @practicalsheph @churchinhardplc

Headed with @spandlerdavison to Australia and New Zealand for 12 days of a full ministry schedule. 4 pastor events, preaching in 4 churches, and several meetings with @practicalsheph @churchinhardplc leaders. We would welcome your prayers.
