On January 4th 2020 the Pastors and their wives gathered in our compound to have a time of retreat, socializing and meditation. This is a yearly event organized by the Pastors’ Wives Fellowship in Hindi.
Michael was given an opportunity to share the word with the couples. The theme of the message was, The Mystery of Marriage from Eph. 5:21-33 and Gen 2:24. He pointed out several reasons as to why a Pastor should love his wife and why the wife should respect her husband. One point that stood out is that “Pastor’s marriage models marriage for other couples”.
Coincidentally, we found ourselves involved in helping some couples that were dealing with serious issues in their marriages the rest of the month and the first week of February. We also held two meetings with two local pastors to discuss on how to help three couples in their Church that were struggling with marital issues.
