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 17th, 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 RPLNISH 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.

DOMESTIC HOUSE TRIPS
$32,000 to provide domestic house trips for people who need to replenish but are unable to because of finances. These trips include: women in ministry, couples trips, business leaders trips and trips for lead pastors.
