Ni thum chung Pastor pawl he bia kan i ruahnak ahhin a fiang ngai in a langmi cu: Pastor tampi nih case-worker an ṭuan ti hi a si.

Case-worker rianṭuan hi Laimi kan caah a herh ngaingaimi a si. USA i a phanka tampi kan um caah bomhhaumi tampi an um. Case-worker nih a ṭuanmi hi phun tampi a um. A cheu cu a phanka mi umnak Apartment umnak i bomh a herhmi vialte bomhnak a si; a cheu cu Social Security number soknak caah a si; a cheu cu ID caah a si; a cheu cu Medicaidsoknak caah a si;  a cheu cu foodstamp soknak caah a si; a cheu cu damlo ruangah sibawi sin kalpi awkah a si; a cheu cu riankawlnak zung i kalpi a si. Khrihfabu pakhat nih mi bawmtu case-worker pakhat cu ngeih-awk hrimhrim a si. Sihmanhsehlaw Pastor hi case-worker ah hman awk a si lo.

Pastor nih cun Pastor rian ṭuan-awk a si. Pastor rianṭuan cu an innchungkhar caah thlacam le kaihhruainak, Khrihfabu chungah inn kipah thlacampiak, a damlomi hna sizung ah siseh, an inn ah siseh ven i thlacampiak awk, sangpumh ah hruaitu le phungchimtu si awk, Khrihfa Upa meeting, Church Council meeting, Nubu le Mino hna meetingah kai awk, farah zonzai zohkhenhnak ah i tel awk, le phungchim (a biapi bikmi) awkah i timh awk hna hi an si. Phungchim hi Pastor kum tampi a ṭuanmi hna nih an ti tawnmi cu phung voikhat chim awkah hin nazi 10-30 kar i timh a hau, an tit awn. I-timh tikah Baibal rel, thlacam, khuaruah, phungchim duhmi caṭial, a herh ahcun voihnih thum zong ṭial a haumi a si. Culengah cun Khrihfabu i-hruai khawhnak caah administration tlaih pah a hau fawn rih. Khualtlung le mileng zohkhenh a hau rih i, pawngkam Khrihfabu dang hruaitu hna he i-ton le thlacam ṭi awk a um rih. Hi bantuk a ṭuan taktak a si ahcun nikhat chungah nazi 8 lawng a si lo; nazi 12 le 16 chung ṭuan awk a um lai. Emergency hna a um ahcun nazi 24 chung rian a ṭuan caan a um lai.

Hi rianṭuan – case-worker le Pastor rianṭuan hi – mi pakhat nih a cemhchih ahcun a min meen cun a ṭuan ko lai; asinain tlamtling tein a ṭuan kho lai lo. Khrihfabu pakhat nih minung 100-200 an ngeih ahcun case-worker rian hi mi pakhat nihfulltime in ṭuan awk hrimhrim a si lai. Pastor nih ceemchih awk a ṭha lai lo. Case-worker rian hi nan Pastor nan ṭuanter a si ahcun thil pahnih thum a chuak ko lai:

(a)    Nan Pastor cu case-worker rian he Pastor rian he a ṭuan ahcun kum khat hnih hnuah cun a celh lai lo i, “zaa seh” tiah aa phuak ko lai. “Pathian rianṭuan cu mah hi lawng hi a si ṭung lo,”  a ti lai. Cuti a si ahcun ahohmanh nih amah kha mawhchiat awk a si hnga lo.

(b)   Aa phuah lo hmanh ah Bawipa Ni (Sunday) i a phungchim hi thlakhat thlahnih, kum khat hnih ahcun a ngianh chin lengmang lai i, (ei tlak Thlarau rawl a si lai lo i) Khrihfabu chungtel an phunzai, an tlakciar ko lai. Nan Pastor hrimhrim nih a phungchim ah a lung a tling lai lo i, thachia zaangchia in a um chin lengmang lai.

(c)    Pastor nih thlarau rawl a pek kho hna lo ahcun pumh zong an duh lo chin lengmang lai.

(d)   Pastor rian cu tlamtling tein ṭuan kho lo, case-worker rian zong tlamtling tein ṭuan kho lo ah a cang lai. A pahnih in tlamtling lo ah a cang lai.

(e)    A donghnak ahcun a thitha a derdai lai i, damlonak hna ah a thlak lai i, an innchungkhar dihlak caah harnak an tong lai. Minung celh-awk a si lo, an ti lai i, a hnabei a dong ko lai. Hiti a si ahcun Pastor/case-worker santlaih lo bia a si lai lo; khuakhan tawlrel thiam lo bia  a si men lai.

Hi buntuk hi a cang kho ngaimi a si caah Pastor nih case-worker rian hi ṭuan lo ah a ṭha. Pastor cu Pastor rian ṭuan ko seh.Case-worker rian a hau hrimhrim ti a si ahcun midang pakhat rian pek ding a si ko, part-time zong in. Khrihfabu nih case-worker caah phaisa pek awk a um lo ahcun phun dang in case-worker caah phaisa kawl awk a si. Khrihfabu dihlak budgetchung in ruah awk a si. Budget chung in a si kho lo ahcun phundang in phaisa kawl awk a si. Phaisa kawl khawh a si lo ahcun bomh a haumi pumpak in, asiloah, family in phaisa thawh cio awk a si ko. Bomh an hauh caah cu bomhnak caah cun a hlei in phaisa thawh ve awk a si ko.

CBC USA chungtel Khrihfabu hna nih Pastor hi case-worker kan ṭuantermi vialte hi tuan ah ṭuanter lo awkin ruah cio awkah kan sawm hna. Cu loah cun kan Khrihfabu thlarau rawl hmu loin “thlarau rawlṭaam” an si lai. “Rawl a ṭaammi ngakchia cu ca a cawng kho lo” an ti tawn. Thlarau rawl – Baibal cawnnak – hmu kho lomi kan si ahcun kan Bu caah ngandamlonak a si lai.

The Secret Pain of Pastors

Philip Wagner offers insight into the six major struggles pastors face in the ministry and how to overcome them.

How Christians and church members can help:  

Pray for your pastor.

Pray for guidance, protection, healthy friends, their marriage, and family. Pray for inspiration, anointing, the leadership team, unity, and clarity.

Protect your pastor.

As best as you can, don’t allow or participate in gossip and criticism. How can you serve and problem solve to prevent overload?

Encourage your pastor.

Thank him for his or her work and ministry. Thank them for their sacrifice. Tell them a specific time in which you or someone you know experienced a life change in their church. Honor them to others.  Let your pastors know you are praying for them. According to the Barna report—the profession of “Pastor” is near the bottom of a survey of the most-respected professions, just above “car salesman.”

To Pastors.

Don’t give up, pastor! Persistence is powerful.

Keep on. Really! Your work, your labor of love, and your sacrifice matters.

I realize the last thing a pastor needs is another sermon. But these verses have helped me.

Hold on to God’s Word with your life.

So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised. Hebrews 10:35-36 NLT

So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time, we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Gal. 6:9 NLT

Be careful of the comparison trap.

Looking at other ministries can be inspiring. Comparing yourself to other churches can be destructive and discouraging.

Make new pastor friends. Expose yourself to new influences, new leaders, churches, or ministries that are doing some things differently.

Discover to some fresh views and ideas. Sometimes, it just takes one or two new ideas that can change momentum around.

Pastors that are struggling or are no longer in ministry may have unresolved hurts. I encourage you to find healing. Seek counseling; find a local Celebrate Recovery group; equip yourself with resources on healing (some examples are Safe People orBoundaries) and share your secrets with safe people.  Remember you’re only as sick as your secrets.

Nangteh na umnak kawhhran pastor pawl phurrit maw na si, bawmtu tha na si, na umnak kawhhran pastor in a hnuailam thu pawl hi a hmuhtawnmi le tuar rero tla asi pang maw, ziangtin pastor pawl Pathian fialmi hnatuan an tuansuak famkim thei ding ti ruahnak in petu dingah American ramah pastor 1700 hnakih tamin an hnatuan an cawlhsannak thu hrampi pawl zoh hnik uhsi.

Hminsin: “Theihtha” timi pawl hi betcawp mi an si.

Over 1,700 pastors leave the ministry every month. Kumkhat sungah kawhhran thar 4,000 tluk din asi ih kawhhran (biak inn) 7000 tlukkhar asi. Ziangthu ruangah pastor tampi in an hnatuan tuanten an cawlhsan, ziangruangah biak inn 7000 kumtin khar asi? A hnuai lam pawl hi thu tlangpi khaikhawm, Pastor pawl hmuhtawnmi ihsin ngansuah mi asi.

1. Thanau nak (Discouragement).

Pastor 100 ah 50 (50%) tluk cu an hnatuan hi cang thei sehla suahsan, cawlhsan an duh ringring ti asi. Sawiselnak hi a tam tuk ih bawmtu, lawmnak, a mal tuk. Voi 15 sawiselnak ah voi 1 tluk lawmnak pastor pawl in an tawng. Pastor lawmnak cu a ziamral lohli nan an sawiselnak cu a tang ringring. Cutin sawiselnak tawm lakah kawhhran member pawl khawm paih nawn loin biak inn a lawng vivo tikah pastor tampi in anmah riangri an hnatuan an cawlhsan theu.

Theihtha:

Pastor:Ziangvek sawiselnak na tawng tla le an lo sawiselnak ih lethra in na tuahmi a tha sawn ringring asi.

Mipi: Thlarau rawl a lo cawm rero tu, rawl a lo barh rerotu ih kut cu na keu rero ding maw? Na pastor pa na bawm tikah, milai na bawm si loin Pathian na duhdawtnak, na tihzahnak na langter mi asi.

2. An palh theu (Failure)

100 ah 70 (70%) pastor pawl hi pastor an tuan thawk hnakin an tuan hnu ah anmah le anmah hi an thiam aw lo, hlawhtling lo ah an ruat awaw. Pastor dang, kawhhran dang pawl thawn an khaikhawm theu tikah an beidawng theu.

Theihtha:

Pastor: Tahthim awknak in a suahpi theu mi thil pahnih cu i) Midang hnakin ka thacuang tiah porh awknak, ii) asilole, midang tluk in ka hlawhtling lo, ka tling lo tiah mahlemah namthlak awknak asi.

Mipi: Pastor pawl hi minung ih hnatuan pekmi an silo. Pathian kawhnak vekin Pathian hnatuan fial mi an si. Pastor pakhat le pakhat tahthim theih an silo. Anmah le hnatuan a dang cio.

3. A fal in um (Loneliness)

100 ah 70 (70%) pastor pawl in rualpi tha zet tiah an kawh theih mi rualpi nei lo lawnglawng an si. Mi tampi in pastor hnenah bawmnak an dil nan pastor pa hrangah rualpi tha ti thei ding minng an um lo theu. Pastor pawl cu milai an si vekin harsatnak an nei ve. Cui an harsatnak pawl theihpi tu ding khawpin rinsan mi rualpi tha an nei lo theu.

Theihtha:

Pastor: Milai zohman famkim kan um lo vekin pastor khal a famkim lo. Cutin famkim lonak cio cu zalen zetin kawhhran member pawl hnenah pholang ngam ding asi. Cutin kawhhran tuanrel upa pawl le sungtel pawl lak ihsin siseh pawnlam ihsin siseh rualpitha, Khrih ah unau vekin nunpi zir ding asi.

Mipi: Pastor pawl hnenah sawiselnak le bawmnak lawng hawl loin pastor pa hnenah bawmtu tha, rualpi tha si zuam cio sawn ding kan si.

4. Fellonak (Moral Failure)

100 ah 33 (33%) pastor pawlin nunau mipa pehtlaihnak ah an fel lo thu an sim suak. Pastor pawl (nunau mipa thu) fel lonak cu zumtu menmen fel lonak hnakin tampi a siatsuah sawn theu asi. Nunau mipa lam fel lonak hrial thei dingin lamzin pakhatkhat tuah a tha. A falin nunau thawn (pastor nu hrangah, mipa thawn) tikcu hmang dah lo ding, fala le tlangval vekin biak sawn aw dah lo ding, fala lole tlangval (opposite sex) thawn tawn awk tikah nupi/pasal theihpi ringring a tha. Computer ah siseh video ah siseh pastor le rawngbawltu zumtu hrimhrim in nunau mipa sualnak zuknung pawl zoh hrimhrim lo ding asi. Computer neihmi pawl tla zoh theih lo in tuah theh ding asi.

Theihtha:

Pastor: Nunau (opposite sex) thawn afal in tikcu hmang tlanglo a tha. Lairam ah an hman theu mi taksa nam ter, hmetter tivek hman lo a tha. Thlacam ding khalah a fal in room sungah thlacam tlang lo a tha. Fimkhur ten dinhmun hrial ringring thei a tha.

Mipi: Pastor cu milai asi vekin a falten pastor pa thawn um tlang ding beisei lo a tha (pastor pa ih opposite agenda in).

5. Sumpai harsatnak (Financial Pressure)

Mipi: Pastor pawl thinhengnak tuahtu si hi nuntawinak, siat tawnnak asi. Na umnak kawhhran ah siseh khui tawk hmun khalah pastor pawl thinheng nak tuah tahratin satan hnatuanpi na si ding maw, Pathian siahhlawh pawl bawmtu tha si in Pathian hmanrua na si ding maw, hril ding na nei.

Biak inn sung, kawhhran hnatuan hi thupi bik ah an ret ih insang cu ngaihsak loin an um tikah insang buainak an tawn phah theu. Nupa, insang hi a thupibikah ret ding asi.

10 Real Reasons Pastors Quit Too Soon

by Tim Peters

Over 1,700 pastors leave the ministry every month. This staggering number includes some of the brightest, most inspiring pastors in the country. To prevent the continued flight of our pastors, we need to understand the cause of the problem. Though every situation is unique, the reasons pastors leave are often similar. Here are 10 common reasons pastors quit too soon.

1. Discouragement

50% of pastors report feeling sodiscouraged they would leave the ministry if they could. Complaints speak louder than compliments. You can receive 15 compliments and one complaint, and the complaint will stick. When you hear criticism and look out to see empty pews, it can be difficult to recognize the positive impact you’re making. The key is to remember: no matter how much negative you hear, you’re always doing 10 times more good.

2. Failure

70% of pastors say they have a lower self-image now than when they started. Many pastors have difficulty recognizing success. They compare themselves to other pastors and other ministries. Comparisons produce only two outcomes: (1) you think you’re better, which results in excessive pride; or (2) you feel like you don’t measure up, which creates a sense of failure. The key is not to compare, but to celebrate your successes.

3. Loneliness

70% of pastors do not have someone they consider a close friend.With so many people looking to pastors for guidance, it can be difficult for pastors to let their guards down. They don’t want to come across as less than perfect. They feel they can’t be transparent and vulnerable. That creates a sense of isolation. It’s important for pastors to find people they can open up and share their struggles with, instead of absorbing and isolating.

4. Moral Failure

33% of pastors confess having involved in inappropriate sexual behavior.The moral failures of pastors are magnified more than the average person. The key to avoiding moral failures is creating a system of risk prevention. When you meet with someone of the opposite sex: let your spouse know, never meet behind closed doors, and do not discuss relationship issues. For pornography, software is available to monitor or block web activity.

5. Financial Pressure

70% of pastors feel grossly underpaid.Most ministries are nonprofits, so pastors are not compensated well. When you can’t fully provide the life you want for your family, it makes it hard to continue. Then you look at friends not in the ministry with big houses and nice cars. Pastors can relieve the pressure with better financial planning. Try following the 8-10-10 rule – 10% to church, 10% to savings, and 80% to live off.

6. Anger

4,000 new churches begin each year and7,000 churches close. When things aren’t going well, pastors become angry – with others, themselves, or God. Thoughts fall along these lines: “I did everything you told me. I went to seminary. I started a ministry. Why are you not doing what you said?” The worst thing about anger is it spreads like wild fire. The medicine for anger is forgiveness. We have to forgive so we can move forward.

7. Burnout

90% of the pastors report working between 55 to 75 hours per week.Pastors are put on a treadmill. They go from the ministry to a hospital visit to writing a sermon to meeting with congregation members. They just keep running until there’s no passion or energy left. They become exhausted and depleted. Vacations and sabbaticals can provide perspective. Another key is empowering other leaders so all the weight is not on the pastor’s shoulders.

8. Physical Health

75% of pastors report significant stress-related crisis at least once in their ministry.Many pastors overwork themselves and simply do not care for their bodies. When you’re busy, it’s easy to eat poorly. But eating the right foods is essential to physical health. It’s the difference between fueling the body and depleting the body. Pastors also don’t get enough rest or regular exercise. Exercise makes a huge difference in physical and mental health.

9. Marriage/Family Problems

80% of pastors believe pastoral ministry has negatively affected their families.Too often, a pastor’s spouse and children end up taking a backseat to the ministry. The key is balance. Marriage has to be a top priority. Your relationship with your spouse is the most important relationship you have on this earth. You have to nurture your family relationships – whether that means having family night or seeking counseling.

10. Too Busy/Driven

90% of pastors feel they are inadequately trained to cope with the ministry demands.A lot of pastors simply are not working efficiently. They are not protecting their calendars or giving themselves the space they need. They haven’t learned how to say “no”. Being busy is not always being productive. Pastors need to find ways to maximize the use of their time. You have to learn how to say “no” at the right times.

Take a look at these 10 points, then pray and ask God: What area do I really need to address? Where am I struggling?Once you identify the areas where you need to improve, take these three steps:

Ask for help. If you’re struggling, there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking someone for help.

Institute accountability.Find a group or person to keep you accountable in the areas you think you are weak.

Take ownership of your choices.More than anyone else, you control the path you walk.

Take actions and precautions to make sure you don’t let any of these 10 reasons separate you from your passion for the ministry and your calling.
