Every minister needs encouragement, sometimes the “human factor” comes to play and we are in moments of discouragement. One of the things that can help a young minister is encouragement from older ministers of the gospel or even their peers.

Here are a few ways we can encourage young ministers.

1.⁠ ⁠Send a text of encouragement every now and then, about the importance of their work and the importance of serving the Lord.
2.⁠ ⁠Ask about their family if they are married, or how they are doing. At this stage, it’s not about the church or ministry but how are they faring.
3.⁠ ⁠Sending financial support would be a big deal to them in the early stages. You may not be able to fathom what your pizza money would accomplish in the life of a young minister.
4.⁠ ⁠Buy books or help them with resource materials, you can buy and send to them or recommend books that would be helpful
5.⁠ ⁠Pray for them, verbally to their hearing and also in private intercession.

We all have a great role to play in encouraging those who are coming behind.
