Pastor not a person or group of persons. Yes, this means do not pastor your church, your outreach, or your youth group. Pastor your community!!!
Be the one they call when someone goes to the hospital, when someone dies, when one is sick or distraught, or has a question. Everyone, not just the ones that already think like you. You should get calls for help and encouragement from the drunkard, the city council member and the pastors for the Baptist, Nazarene and Mormon Churches.
Your congregation will learn more watching and helping you help others, than they ever will with you and all your preacher buddies getting in each others pulpits and expounding on what Graham said about what Moody said about what Spurgeon Said......... Put a big sign on the inside of the doors that enter your sanctuary so all see it every time they leave. A Sign that says.... “NOW ENTERING YOUR MISSION FIELD” ..... More later.
God Bless.
Rev. D. Todd Sloggett
