Urban ministry leaders, pastors and their spouses rarely take breaks. Many have never had professional counseling to help them navigate through the chronic stress that they usually have no idea they are suffering from. This lack of self-care often results in depression, burnout, or worse.
I Am My Brother's Keeper cares deeply for these leaders and their spouses and we are determined to help them maintain a healthy balance between ministry and family so that they can continue to serve in the communities that desperately need them.
WE DO
WHAT
Most leaders in urban communities have very few people outside their organization to turn to when faced with difficult circumstances.
Help us coach urban leaders through work-related and personal challenges.
The majority of urban leaders have never met with a professional counselor either because it's taboo or too expensive.
We pay for urban leaders and their spouses to meet with certified professional counselors.
We convince urban leaders to take breaks and provide resources to ensure these men and women will take time off.
