Encouragement

"We have different gifts, according to the grace given us… if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully."
Romans 12:6,8

The pastors you support have a mind to bear the burdens of those they minister to.  These pastors witness the powerful impact that a comforting arm can have on the spirit of a poor widow or orphaned child.  This ministry is incredibly critical because it is the mission of the church to seek those who are poor in spirit, and give them comfort.
