Pastoral Care 
by Rev. Henry Reyenga



Why Do People Come to you?

1. Looking for another option

2. Prayer

3. Want to hear what God’s Word.

4. Trust you as pastor

5. Result of your ministry work

2 Timothy 4:2 “Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage — with great patience and careful instruction. “


You do not listen like a paid counselor

  A Leader of Hope

• God’s Representative 

• Self-aware of your person

• Short Term 

• Excellent Boundaries 

• Action Plans

• 1 Thessalonians 5:11 “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”

Look for Next Steps

Utopias are hard to maintain 

Don’t Forget to encourage a simple walk with God

Proverbs 17:1 “Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife.”


Gossip in the Church

  1. Be gentle
  2. Culture of encouragement
  3. Hold them accountable
  4. Preaching
  5. Don’t take the bait

Matthew 18:15 “If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.”
