Notă biografică

For more than a decade The Bethany Fellowships has encouraged young pastors in their earliest years of ministry. Research indicated 1/3 of young ministers may leave congregational ministry in their first five years. This ministry was born out of the intention of strengthening congregations by helping newly ordained, young pastors transition from seminary to sustained congregational ministry with a strong and healthy pastoral identity. Through The Bethany Fellowships young ministers are better able to navigate the beginnings of a pastoral vocation, as well as crucial young adult life transitions, building confidence and strengthening leadership. Twenty-seven graduates of the Bethany Fellowships have contributed to 99 Prayers. Editor Cara Gilger is a graduate of the Bethany Fellowships as well as a pastor and mother in Dallas.
