Theme: A Faithful Pastor, his mentality and self identity
The man who is called to shepherd the flock of God must learn to think about his life and responsibilities in light of the requirements and priorities for pastors that are revealed in Scripture. A pastor’s mindset about himself and his work as well as his self-identity in his work must be shaped by the Word of God in order for him to be productive and to persevere in his labors. This conference will explore these crucial issues in light of the challenges of pastoral ministry in the 21st century.
Pastors, preachers, seminarians as well as elders and deacons will benefit from considering this theme. It could also be helpful for anyone who wants to understand the challenges that pastors face in pastoral ministry.
