Leadership Tips & Training Pastors, Come Apart Or You Will Come Apart

I am so excited about the First Place 4 Health Wellness Week, which will take place April 29-May 4 at Sandy Cove in North East, Maryland.  This event will be for men and women, plus I will be leading a brand new track for pastors and spouses.

Pastors spend most of their time focused on others, and very little time on themselves.  The result is that their health is often negatively impacted by this lifestyle.  I was living this kind of unbalanced life and got up to 340 pounds with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.  God showed me how to live a more balanced life and since then, I have lost 120 pounds and I no longer have these health problems.

Wellness Week offers pastors an opportunity to “come apart” and focus on how to get healthy … physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

This special week includes:

·         Physical assessment testing

·         Certified instructors from Body & Soul Christian Fitness Ministries

·         Practical information on nutrition and health

·         Daily Bible study and motivational messages

·         Delicious nutritious First Place 4 Health meals

·         Exercises you CAN do – for every fitness level!

·         Praise and worship

I want to urge pastors to join me for this life-changing experience.  This time apart will produce a longer and more fruitful ministry.  It would be a wise use of resources for churches to send their pastors to Wellness Week.   Is this something your pastor needs?  You might give this article to  your pastor or to church leadership that can make it happen for them.
