Abstract
Often, the challenge for those in full-time, pastoral ministry is one of reflection and resource. Pastors, in today's culture, are often charged with the responsibility of being the primary developers and implementers of church growth strategies within their particular ministry contexts. This charge can be overwhelming, when it is tied to the responsibility of ongoing pastoral care of a Christian congregation. Such care might include: weekly preaching and teaching, counseling, visitation of sick and elderly, church administration, prayer, building oversight, as well as, ministry development and conflict resolution.
