If you are interested in the spiritual adoption of a pastor contact me at art@pathologicaltruth.com. Upon receiving your email I will send you the name of a pastor. And if you wouldn’t like to email me please feel free to adopt a pastor on your own.
What Does It Mean To Adopt A Pastor
Paul prayed for those who were partnered with him in the Gospel (Philippians 1:3-6). He also asked the congregations to pray for him and his workers (1 Thessalonians 1:25).
This adoption means you pray daily for the pastor you are given. Pray for their strength, faithfulness, health and welfare. You do not need to write to them, email them, friend them on Facebook or give them anything other than your prayers. It also does not mean you neglect the worship of God in your own church or neglect the care of your own pastor. This prayer is meant to be part of the vocation of the faithful in Christ.
If you are a pastor who would like to specifically add your name please contact me at the address above. And a great thanks to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix for the idea.
