Working for a ministry can be challenging because of the many hats church employees wear and the limited resources available to help fulfill the church mission.
We are also all prone to discouragement as we strive to pursue the call on our lives. I know this has been a real struggle for me at times.
The good news is there are lots of Bible verses we can meditate on to encourage church leaders and those who are called into full-time ministry.
I pray that these scriptures bless you and encourage you today!
