What
does Lydia Ministries International Have to Offer Pastors Around the World?
While Lydia Ministries International strives
to work with pastors and churches around the world, we have to say that no one can be all things to all people...except God
the Father.
What Lydia Ministry International is:
It is a ministry which seeks to offer consultation
to churches and pastors who are seeking to build a stronger relationship.
It is a ministry that encourages ministers/pastors
in their walk with God, as they serve in the area they are called to serve in.
It is a ministry which seeks
to teach, encourage and train pastors in various areas of ministry, according to need: ethics; integrity; Kingdom Authority;
relationship with the Father and with the body
It is a ministry that seeks to aid local groups of pastors in establishing
accountability groups among their peers, support groups, and other pastoral groups.
It is a ministry which
seeks to aid pastors' spouses in establishing support and ministry groups.
It is a ministry that seeks to
encourage and offer emotional and moral support to women in ministry, establishing support groups and encouraging various
women's ministries.
It is a ministry which seeks to establish libraries for pastors around the world
who otherwise would not have such a resource.
It is a ministry that seeks to connect pastors with various
resources.
In short, Lydia Ministries International is a ministry to ministers, for training, encouraging, strengthening,
and empowering in order that pastors might better be equipped to do the work of the Father that they are called to do.
What Lydia Ministries International Is Not
While we would like to be able
to offer financial support to pastors all over the world, it is just not possible. We too depend upon the support of individuals,
churches, etc. in order to do the work that we do. The work of Lydia Ministries International is a ministry performed by volunteers.
There are no paid staff persons. All airfare and travel is paid for by the individuals who are in ministry with Lydia Ministries,
unless it is within the USA, or by ministry support. We work with a very, small budget and depend totally on donations.
Thank you for understanding. We pray that God will bless you with all that you need to do the ministry you are
called to. If we can be of support in regard to one or more of the many ways listed above, please contact us. We would be
happy to talk with you.
