Our Mission is to help injured, hurting ministers who have been
rejected from the ministry or have chosen to leave for self-
preservation reasons to rediscover the joy of their salvation,
to renew their individual value, and to focus on God’s intent
for their lives.

Where We Are Going |
|
Since 1998 God has used the Pastoral Advocacy
Network (PAN) to touch the lives of hundreds of His hurting
shepherds with the message of healing and hope. Now we want to
build on those victories by expanding our services.
It is our goal:
-
To make PAN the place for wounded ministers
to go to find the most comprehensive spiritual and practical
help for their needs as they walk through the minefield of transition.
-
To solicit, train, and provide opportunities
for concerned members of the Christian Community to become
actively involved in healing wounded shepherds.
Right now we are working on the following six
new developments that will take us a step closer to fulfilling
our goals. |
|
1. Pre-Transitional Advice
We will provide personal advice to
pastors who are experiencing trouble in their present
church and who want an objective recommendation.
|
|
2. Education Module
Our online video vignettes will guide hurting pastors
and NetMenders through a series of basic
understandings, definitions, teachings and advice to
help the ministers in need rediscover their joy, value,
and focus on God.
|
|
| 3. NetMender's Module
While we presently provide caring help for hurting
ministers through our email, phone calls and face to face
contact, we plan to do much more. Our new website will use
the latest technology to:
- Assist each minister build a personal network of
NetMenders made of friends, family and others
volunteering from the Christian Community to help with
prayer, practical care and financial aid in the first
six months of transition.
- Produce a personal webpage to be used as a portal of
communication to their NetMenders, notifying them
of their needs and progress.
- Provide training for the NetMenders on how
best to serve a wounded shepherd.
- Provide free access to the Resource Center.
- A means for the NetMenders to give financial
aid with tax deductible receipts.

4. Joseph’s Pit Module
As a minister heals,
he/she wants to move on. Joseph’s Pit is our incubator to
assist the minister in taking the necessary steps to
discover God’s intent for their lives. We will offer:
- A pre-retreat preparation for self discovery.
- A personal transformation retreat to help solidify
God’s intent for their life.
- Post-retreat follow-up sessions to finalize and
implement the new vision.

|
5. Online Store
We are working on a website store to support wounded
shepherds. Here they may purchase materials that pertain
to their special needs. As we expand, NetMenders
will be able to buy gifts and practical items for the
ministers that they choose to support.
|
|
6. Resource Center
The purpose of the Resource Center is to provide as
many resources as possible for hurting pastors. It will
include business opportunities, job openings, referrals,
and possibly health plan offerings .We will also put
forward a means for NetMenders to give available
items to needy pastors –like a free eBay for ministers
in need.
