Today, we facilitated a retreat and team-building session for pastors and their wives of Apostolic Faith Church, Gilgil Parish. Pastors are frontline workers who carry not only spiritual leadership but also the emotional and social burdens of their congregations.
Research consistently shows that over 70% of pastors experience high stress levels, and more than 60% report symptoms of burnout, often linked to constant caregiving, leadership pressure, and limited time for self-care.
Through honest conversations on leadership stressors, self-care, and shared experiences — alongside team-building activities — we created space for rest, reflection, connection, and renewal. Because those who shepherd others also deserve care, support, and moments to breathe.
