Here’s one way of celebrating Pastor’s Appreciation Month

Support

Tell your pastors how grateful you are for what they do. Share these free resources with them!

Hello Edward,

It’s Pastor’s Appreciation Month! Have you already expressed your gratitude to your pastor and leaders?

If you haven’t, we encourage you to do so. A study by Barna shows that in 2021, there was a 9-point percentage jump in the number of pastors who have considered quitting full-time ministry—in just 10 months! Although the study involves pastors in the US, it caused us to wonder: How are pastors in the Philippines faring?

That’s why we took this opportunity to write to you. We want to be more intentional in encouraging Filipino pastors. To do this, we would need your help. Can you send these free resources to a pastor you know?

As you may already know, Our Daily Bread Ministries is a donor-supported organization, and it is through generous gifts that God grows our ministry.
