I know many faithful men who pastor and also have to work at least 30 hours per week. Wow, I have a real respect for our bi-vocational men, but cannot imagine how hard it must be.
I wish there was a way to support these pastors like we would missionaries, such that they could focus more on the ministry.
What could be done in a collective way and are there such networks that help to fund pastors of small congregations such that they could labor in the ministry exclusively.
This is sometimes done for new church plants. But what about older, established plateauing or declining churches?
