Pastor Sponsorships

Equip pastors, strengthen communities and be part of lasting change

Partner with a pastor who is experiencing persecution or hardships to equip them with much-needed financial aid and prayer.

The Need Story

Most pastors we partner with serve at great personal risk both to themselves and their families. Under the threat of persecution, abuse, war, and economic crises, resources for daily living can be difficult to come by. Pastors also feel the weight of responsibility to meet the spiritual needs of their congregations while trying to provide for their own families who typically suffer without support.

The Solution Story

WorldServe forms a three-pronged partnership with an indigenous pastor and you, the sponsor. The pastor receives your prayer and financial support, and possibilities to engage in theological training and access resources such as our Venture program to enable them to become financially self-sustaining.

The Pastor Partnership creates a link between you and a specific pastor. Once partnered, we provide a profile to you about the pastor’s background, testimony, and current work. You’ll also receive updates from your partnered pastor approximately every six months when conditions permit. When you partner, you become connected to a pastor in a region of adversity, strengthening their family and allowing them to bring hope to their community as they live out the Gospel.

Partnership Impact

Pastors and their families are provided for, trained, and prayed for. This support lifts the burden of survival from their shoulders, relieving much family pressure and strengthens them so they can continue to preach, teach, and build up Christ’s church.

When you partner with a pastor, you provide direct support and encouragement that changes many lives—both through your financial contribution and prayers.

  • Number of pastors supported: Over 500
  • Number of people directly impacted by each pastor in the sponsorship program: Anywhere from: 20-200
  • Approximate number of congregation members served because pastors are supported: Over 50,000

Partner With a Pastor

You can partner with a pastor with a monthly gift of any amount. Typically, the cost for a full pastor partnership starts at $55 per month (the cost varies depending on the pastor’s region). At WorldServe, we often combine contributions from multiple partners to support a single pastor. This allows even a small monthly gift to make a significant impact!

  • $55 per month supports and empowers an indigenous pastor in Latin America
  • $110 per month supports and empowers an indigenous pastor in Asia or Africa
  • $Any Amount per month is an incredible benefit through combined support
  • Commit to regular and consistent prayer for a pastor and their family

Your commitment to participating and praying faithfully is a lifeline for those who endure hardship. Thank-you!
