Responsibilities:

·       Commit to support an assigned minister for three months of their transition.

·       Commit to pray earnestly for their lives and situation.

·       Commit to emailing notes of encouragement and advice.

·       Commit to doing random acts of kindness and thoughtfulness on their behalf.

Requirements:

        Display the gifts of hospitality, giving and encouragement.        

        Have no history of wounding a minister or have repented and made reconciliation with    that pastor.
