Church Awakening, a ministry started by Pastor Alec from Westgate Chapel in Edmonds, is hosting a conference this Thursday and Friday. The ministry, which began 20 years ago, focuses on prayer and revival, and now attracts around 700 pastors, intercessors, and church leaders from across the country. Pastor Alec explains that many pastors arrive at the conference feeling discouraged, particularly in the wake of Covid-19, but leave feeling emboldened in their faith and equipped with resources to bring back to their home churches. There is great loneliness within pastoral ministry that most of us don't even realize. He shares about the importance of support networks within congregations for pastors.
