The Pastor’s Heart with Dominic Steele
The minister drought and what to do about it? - with Phillip Jensen
There’s been an across the board drop in people stepping up to serve in full time ministry roles whether as senior pastors, assistant pastors or people putting themselves forward to study at theological college.
We had the Principal of Moore Theological College, Mark Thompson on The Pastor's Heart a few months ago and he said that enrolments are down for theological colleges across the western world.
It’s very different to twenty years ago, when all the talk at Moore College was of continued growth.
Humanly speaking Phillip Jensen was the person in Sydney used by God most significantly to prompt the explosion in gospel workers.
We ask Phillip what are the factors that have contributed to the slump, and what needs to be done?
