This article is part of the Dear Pastor series.Dear Pastor,Greetings in the name of Christ from a couple of colaborers in pastoral ministry. You’re likely aware that we’re currently experiencing a crisis in our work. In most evangelical circles, anywhere from ten to thirty percent of local churches don’t have pastors and can’t find them. In comparison to years gone by, fewer men today are responding to God’s call to pastoral ministry, and fewer students are going to Bible colleges and seminaries to be trained for that work. The biggest tragedy of this crisis is that every week fewer people are sitting under the solid exposition of God’s supernatural, life-changing word! That makes what you do in Christ’s kingdom paramount! So thank you for your faithfulness to this task!As you shepherd God’s people every week through the exposition of his word, we wanted to personally express our gratitude for your ministry and “stir you up by way of reminder” (2 Pet. 1:13) as to why your work is so vital for the cause of Christ. Here are just a few of the reasons we’re thankful to God for your leadership of his people through consistent and diligent Bible exposition.Dear Pastor . . . Your Leadership Is Needed in the Pulpit
