About Pastor's
Mayday
During the month of May we have the opportunity to uplift and support pastors in a meaningful way. Throughout the month, we’ll be spreading awareness, growing our email community, receiving donations, and engaging churches in a special emphasis on pastoral soul care.
On Sunday, May 18th, as part of our Pastor’s Mayday we are asking churches to use Pastor’s Mayday as an opportunity to talk to their congregations about the lives and needs of pastors. If they are inclined, they use stats and graphics, pray for pastors and take a special offering designed to invest in other initiatives to help pastors. The media kit and more info are available below.
Our goal is to honor pastors, highlight the incredible work being done to support them, and invite others to get involved. Throughout the month we will be encouraging our community to share Replenish posts, tag us, and tell us why they’re participating in Pastor’s Mayday—inspiring their friends and family to do the same. Let’s come together to remind pastors they are seen, valued, and not alone.
The bottom line
With your help we can provide the following on Pastor’s Mayday 2025:
1. Get people talking
Pastors don’t usually talk about pastoring. Use Pastor’s Mayday initiative to encourage pastors, talk about the nature of pastoring (use provided graphics and stats) and use personal and social media to get the word out. Direct link to download kit
2. Get your church involved
Several ways to do this. Sign up to be an official partner. Talk about pastors on a Sunday in may or use our social media kit (which also include presentation graphics) to educate or pray with your board or staff. Direct link to download kit

I was stressed out
Pastor Benito was in the middle of a building project and didn’t know how much pressure he was under but a RPLNISH Experience changed his life and church.
Retreating and resting is a gift
Chris understands the value of keeping fresh. Because of RPLNISH he and his organization have both grown significantly.
