Soul Care for Ministry Leaders

Pastors – Missionaries – Churches

Pastors and Missionaries are often looking for personal and spiritual refreshment. The weight of caring for others, leading well and spiritual warfare takes a heavy toll. Too often Christian leaders function poorly or leave the ministry because the stress levels become too great.

We know about these pressures. Our team has extensive experience in ministry and have engaged with the experience of burnout. The LORD has faithfully taught us many principles that bring refreshment to a leader’s soul. We share these principles through retreats, speaking, writing and one-to-one pastoral care.

Refresh Ministries is dedicated to providing soul care and encouragement to pastors and missionaries, specializing in burnout prevention and recovery. Debriefing for missionaries is an available service. We also offer coaching services in ministry and life skills, speaking at conferences, retreats, seminars and pulpit supply in the Peace Region area.

Refresh Ministries is featured on Peace County on the Web.ca, Alberta On The Web.ca , and HopeTranslated.net
