PHOENIX (BP)–Too often, Christian leaders have personal problems but feel they have no place to turn, Mac Brunson says.
But the pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas has helped put together a ministry to some of those hurting leaders. This year’s Pastors’ Conference, headed by Brunson, will join with Focus on the Family and Hope for the Heart to offer free Christian counseling to Southern Baptist pastors, staff members, missionaries and their families Sunday and Monday, June 15-16.
To ensure anonymity, the counseling will take place away from the Phoenix Civic Plaza. Focus on the Family’s H.B. London Jr. and Hope for the Heart’s June Hunt will lead a team of what Brunson calls “perhaps the best counselors you could find in America.”
Confidential appointments can be made by calling Hope for the Heart at 1-800-488-HOPE (4673) between 8:30 a.m. and 10 p.m. Central Time. Names are not required; registration numbers will be assigned. Appointments will be made in the order they are received.
The ministry adds to what was already a family oriented event. The theme of the Pastors’ Conference will be “Building Kingdom Families,” and the first-ever Kingdom Family Rally will take place Monday night, June 16.
“It adds a dimension that I’ve never known the convention to have before,” Brunson told Baptist Press. “That is, you don’t come just to do business [and] you don’t come just to hear somebody preach…. Here, you can literally be ministered to.”
