If a tree isn’t healthy, it won’t produce fruit. If leaders aren’t healthy, neither will they.

In 1 Kings 19, God first encountered Elijah by feeding him and telling him to take a nap.

Creating well-structured organizations and teams is great. But for long-term effectiveness, we must revitalize leaders who give so much of themselves to the work they do.

Many in ministry are surrounded by needs that seem to supersede their own. The constant pressure to meet the needs of others will eventually drain anyone, leaving them exhausted and depleted.

We have seen marriages crumble, children overwhelmed by the weight of their parents’ work, and people quit prematurely because of burn-out. God is able to redeem brokenness, but God is also able to refresh before things break.

We create opportunities for leaders to invest in their spiritual health and families. By pouring into those who are pouring out, we are serving entire communities.
