I left the denomination where I had been serving over theological issues. PIR has become very important to me. The opportunity to meet with this small dedicated group of like minded pastors in fellowship, prayer, and Bible study has been such a blessing. This group has offered me encouragement and helped to reaffirm my call to ministry. It's a great help to know that I am not alone, that there are others who share my concerns and struggles. I have no doubt that this joint venture between PIR and AMF will be blessed by God and in turn will be a blessing to many.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07623366806268000747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969214443370774167.post-53056773864040381222009-02-25T16:20:00.000-08:002009-02-25T16:20:00.000-08:00What a spectacular ministry!

After losing his ministry job, my dad let go of his passion and quit following the ministry trail he'd been on for 10+ years. Eventually it affected every aspect of his life and helped lead to my parents' separation and divorce. They still talk about the root of their issues beginning when that job was lost and the depression, frustration and despair that followed.<BR/>Now, too, in my own family, we have faced the loss of a seemingly clear and specific calling from God and are living through the "what now God" or "did I misunderstand" phase.Rooted Renaissance Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494275732259460708noreply@blogger.com
