structure

how are we supported?

Relying fully on God’s provision at His appointed time,

Shepherd 2 Shepherd Ministries does not solicit funds. We view His provision as a means of direction. All funds are prayerfully distributed with board and advisor direction.

“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.” (2 Cor. 9:7-8 ESV)

our values

Faith & Courage

“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” (Heb. 11:6 ESV)

“So we are always of good courage…So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.” (2 Cor. 5:6-9 ESV)

 

Fellowship

“And they devoted themselves to the
apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” (Acts 2:42 ESV)

“And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the
habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” (Heb. 10:24-25 ESV)

Prayer

“Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.” (Col. 4:2 ESV)

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.” (Rom. 12:12 ESV)

president

David Thew

Through the years I was a pastor and ministry leader, God was placing a call deep within me to be a pastor to pastors. It broke my heart to watch many leaders within the local church and the Church universal fall apart. Friends and mentors who had poured into my life were leaving the church, divorcing, dying from addiction to doing ministry, and many other scenarios. Though I saw all this, God gave me a sense of helplessness. I prayed, “How can I be a catalyst for the awakening of Church leadership?”

During a deep time of heart-searching, I heard God’s call. I answered but did not know how He would fulfill His plan. The road was rough at times, but God reminded me He was in control. My work was to trust and obey.

Shepherd 2 Shepherd Ministries was founded by the work of God’s Holy Spirit, not by man, nor man’s vision for forming a ministry. It was given through the Lord’s desire for His leadership to have a fresh relationship with Christ, making Him Supreme in their lives and their call. Shepherd 2 Shepherd Ministries continues to grow as the Lord reveals His plan step by step. We are committed fully to God’s direction as He brings revitalization to His Church!
