That’s right! I don’t want to pray for your church.
Jesus said He would build his Church.
I can tell you this, though. After 25 years of church ministry I’ve learned to pray for church leaders over anything else in the church.
Here are 4 things I’ve discovered to be true when we prayer for pastors and other leaders in the church.
- Healthy churches grow from healthy leaders, NOT the other way around.
- We don’t see church congregations that are healthier than their leadership.
- Our focus changes from ‘are they meeting my needs’ to a genuine desire to partner with them for stronger Kingdom impact.
- We know that prayer works, and that our prayers can be powerful. Our prayers can make a huge difference in the personal and professional lives of our leaders.
If you lead a church or other ministry and would like prayer, I’d love to come along side you this week. Feel free to email me at BrentDumler@iCloud.com

Lead Right 
Our church council read Emotionally Healthy Leader this year. Having been part of a very unhealthy church in the past and walking into a church whose leadership is reading books like EHL affirms, to me anyway, the point of your post. It’s refreshing to be part of a healthy church.
