Pastoral Care

This is such an essential part of our ministry. Field and staff Officers should delight in the opportunity. It is a privilege which we in the ministry should cherish.

For the officers ranks, we have a Pastoral Care department at THQ and even one of the divisions have pastoral care officers specifically engaged in this ministry.

I want to salute these anointed people. They move quietly among us and most of their work is never publicly recognized. This, of course, isn't why they do it. I am wondering about the accumulated affect it has on these people. We usually expect them to sort out our problems, but it must be challenging for them to sift it all out at the end of the day. They are champions and they are confidential. They deserve our respect, gratitude and prayer.

Psalms 23:1 (KJV)
1 "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want."
