Fruits of your Gifts

Friends throughout the United States made contributions to the Ministering to Ministers Foundation in 1998 and their generosity enabled MTM to provide ministry to more than 400 hurting ministers and spouses during the year. Fifty-six of these participated in one of the five Healthy Transitions Wellness Retreats held in Alabama, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia (2).

These five-day retreats are unique because they combine three powerful techniques and maximize the amount of healing that can take place in a very short period of time. Participants minister to one another within small group dynamics, they attend intense teaching sessions and they inter-act with each other in group therapy.

A large number of ministers received coaching or direct assistance in negotiating a severance package. Still others were able to continue in their ministry positions as a result of the MTM ministry.
