PASTORS' spouses
This section is especially for you
Welcome to this part of our online ministry of encouragement to those who are married to pastors, ministers, missionaries etc.
This part of the ministry is geared to encourage you in the unique set of circumstances spouses often find themselves in, especially in our Scottish church culture. We want to keep it real, honest and God centred as we look to explore some of the common issues that we experience due to ministry. We hope to feature encouraging contributions from others who have gained wonderful insights over many years.
We want to encourage you that you are not alone and indeed, that you may be enlightened to discover that ‘behind the veil’ many of us are wrestling with very similar issues. We firmly believe…. “BUT God”….. He IS able … and He is with you in all the ups and downs, never leaving you or abandoning you. Always loving you and wanting you to feel that love.
We love you, we are for you, and our prayer is that you know the peace, joy, grace and strength of God as you journey alongside your spouse in serving God.
🙂 We would love to hear from you 🙂

Jesus Will Always Come To you
Many of us will be scuttling around with much busyness and preparations for Christmas. Gifts to buy, cards to write, food to prepare. It is indeed a wonderful time of the year for most. But it can also be a lonely time for some. A sore time of memories and the pain of...
Christmas is coming… and Christ is Here

Tending Our Mental And Spiritual Health
Who would have imagined back in March that we would still be living with varying degrees of lockdown and restrictions on our daily living due to Covid-19? I think most of us have just about managed to trundle along from month to month as we faced uncertainty around...
Kindness
I was young and about to graduate from Bible College and marry a minister all in the same week. In his study one of my lecturers asked me how I felt about becoming a ‘minister’s wife.’ “Just be kind to people and they will love you,” he said. He was a wise and Godly...
