Guiding Light: “A pastor is a shepherd who leads his flock with wisdom and compassion, guiding them through the valleys and towards the light of God’s love.”Servant Leadership: “The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying, not ‘What a lovely sermon,’ but ‘I will do something!’” – St. Francis de Sales1Faithful Steward: “Your ministry will never be bigger than your vision of Jesus.” – Patty Hammond1Enduring Impact: "Being a pastor has got to be one of the hardest jobs in the world. You have done a magnificent job and I am so grateful for your humble service and endurance."2Divine Calling: "A pastor led by the people and not by God is like a wolf to the sheep. People may try to dictate the direction you should face but never yield to any but God who alone has called you."3
