Have you heard of the wonderful organization called Flowers for the Pastor’s Wife? They seek to encourage, equip, and connect small-town and rural ministry wives in their unique calling. Maybe you’re not a small-town pastor’s wife, but if you know one – please forward them this ministry link.
My husband and I spent our early ministry years serving God in a tiny village. I learned so much about ministry, myself, and the Lord during those years. Since then, we’ve served God in other contexts. My husband was an associate pastor and now is a lead pastor in a large (ish) church. After more than 20 years in ministry, I have to admit that there is something uniquely special and uniquely challenging about small-town ministry. Flowers for the Pastor’s Wife speaks to those needs.
It’s my privilege to write the occasional article for them. My most recent is available now and is called Whatever it Takes. **Due to the personal nature of some of the blog posts, the blog portion of their website is limited to pastors’ wives who have registered with them. Registering is super easy, and the content and community are worth it.
