Finishing Well and Passing the Baton

Paul was not only a prolific church planter and evangelist, he invested deeply in the lives of younger men whom he would put in charge as pastors of the churches he was planting. The church in America is facing a crisis of leadership. Only three out of ten pastors will “finish well,” meaning that seven will wither burn out or fail out of ministry prior to retirement age. Clearly, we need individuals like Paul who will invest in young leaders and equip them for the long haul of ministry. In Part Seven of Journey to the Ends of the Earth, we will learn how Paul invested in the lives of young leaders and hear about an exciting new ministry initiative called the Center for Pastoral Resilience.
