The Stats Aren't Pretty!
And it was even worse then I thought.
A week or so ago, Ned Keene, Small Groups Director at LWCC have a presentation that involved some statistics on pastoral burnout and dropout.
I am always on the lookout for this kind of material.
Ned provided a few of the sites he had referenced. I am providing them here for you.
It is worth clicking them on and skimming down through them. They are eye opening. As we are taking a group of leaders through the Invitation to Leadership right now (Wednesday Exercises Group) and another group through the Jesus Way of Leadership (Sunday Morning Group) - these really hit me hard.
It makes me even more committed to the work of LCI, the spiritual transformation of leaders and the empowering of leaders for fruitful, faithful leaderhip that finishes well.
