PASTORAL CARE MINISTRY

One ministerial and relational concern of ABCCOP is assisting the Pastors and Church workers for the purpose of ensuring their spiritual, physical, emotional mental and social well-being, thus enhancing their ministry and effectiveness. It is for this reason that the Pastoral Care Ministry was conceived on July 2006.

ABCCOP believes that when the Community ministers are strengthened, churches in the Community are strengthened. Hence, the Pastoral Care Ministry offers:

C - ONSISTENT INTERCESSION

Servants of the Community are objects of prayer and intercession. Recognizing that we are in a battlefield, wrestling against the rulers, authorities and powers of this dark world, militant praying is needed.

A - PPROPRIATE ASSISTANCE

Aside from counseling and conflict resolution services, medical, educational and financial assistance in various forms are being extended. As a result of the Pastor's salary-scale profile, some are now receiving regular financial support. The Directory of ABCCOP Medical Professionals is always updated. KAAGAPAY Camp offers many more assistance to pastors and church workers.

R - ELEVANT TRAINING

Training in the areas of the ministers' and ministries' concern are being conducted. Among the most frequently demanded seminars are Personhood Enrichment, Relational Enrichment, The Being of God's Worker for the Well-being of God's Work, Pastoral Care of the Sick, Dying and Bereaved, Building Your Mate's Self-esteem, and Counseling.

E - EFFICIENT VISITATION

As a result of invitation and personal decision, pastoral visitations are being made to different workers, churches and districts. The calls are designed to develop bonding (by improving and enlarging the relationships) and to discover personal and pastoral needs (by constant communication and dialogues).

This is the Pastoral Care Ministry at your service and for God's glory. Dahil ikaw at ako ang ABCCOP na totoo at kapwa tayo
sa Dios na totoo.
