Pastor Appreciation Month
You may have known that October is Pastor Appreciation Month. I just found out today.
I would like to express my appreciation for some pastors who probably won’t get appreciated as Pastors publicly, in front of congregations, because a school didn’t give them initials or titles to put at the beginning or end of their names.
My Dad. Roy Piña is in charge of Children’s Ministries at my home church. He has been serving there for at least twelve years, and has spent that time making a huge impact on both the lives of children, and also their families. He is a welcomer of the New, and an encourager of the Long-Time.
Tony Biasell. Tony is the Associate Director at Calvin Crest. He has been a coordinator, supporter, encourager, deliverer, and conversationalist for countless college students, and has made an enormous impact on me, and several of my friends. His faith is transparent, his love for God is evident, and his desire to share his journey is significant.
Jamie Barker. Jamie is the Director of The Dakota House, an inner-city neighborhood ministry in Fresno. She has an amazing impact on this neighborhood via her relationships with the children and many of their families. She has visited the sick, imprisoned, and the needy, both in and out of the neighborhood. Jamie loves to watch Jesus change lives.
Pastors, know that you are appreciated.
