Mission and Purpose

Broken Wing Ministries is a trans-denominational ministry, serving ministers, their families, and their ministries.We minister to pastors in crisis who are broken and may have fallen while in their role as ministers of the Gospel. This also includes ministering to former pastors, spouses, and other Christian workers who have had to leave their ministries. This work is accomplished through support groups, one-on-one counseling, retreats, and shelter to those pastors and their families.

Our goal is to help these pastors and families to:

  • Be restored to personal mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
  • Find God’s purpose for this change in life’s service.
  • Provide a safe, confidential setting where this can be facilitated.

We also seek to help those currently in ministry avoid pitfalls that can lead to crisis points and burnout. This is accomplished through the second phase of Broken Wing Ministries by aiding ministry couples, Christian teachers, missionaries, and their families in their quest for balance, as they face crisis. We provide a nurturing environment for counseling, rest, and restoration. While this service is provided, representatives of Broken Wing Ministries are available to work with the church, school, or mission organization to help facilitate support, healing, and change; to encourage a continuing partnership between the pastor and his church organization.

The third phase of Broken Wing Ministries is retreats for ministry couples. These retreats provide opportunity to step back from the front line of ministry to regroup, find spiritual renewal, and rest through a weeklong getaway. During this time consultation and counseling geared to the various areas of ministry, and prayer support will be provided on an individual basis. Group sessions for the purpose of debriefing, encouraging and sharing are offered. Although attendance is not required at these small group sessions, this is an essential part of receiving and experiencing healing via the Body of Christ.
 
The fourth phase of Broken Wing Ministries is the opening of our doors and resources as an outreach to those in other helping professions that are at risk for, or already experiencing burnout or crisis. This group would include, but is not limited to, social workers, therapists, doctors, nurses, police, fire and rescue workers, etc.
 
The fifth phase of Broken Wing Ministries is providing awareness and education to churches, church boards, school boards, and mission organizations to help raise awareness concerning the causes of ministry burnout and ways in which this can be prevented in the lives of their pastor or missionary.
