Hey sweet woman of God! Did you know we have five private Facebook groups? I don’t know which group you relate to most, but we want you to know you’re not alone. We are here for you. Being a pastor’s wife is an amazing privilege, but can be very difficult at times. Whatever season you find yourself in, please know we care about you.
Silently Bleeding: Hope for the Pastor’s Wife is a safe and drama free group for connecting with other pastors’ wives and is a great place to ask questions like “How do you handle when someone talks negative about your husband?” or “Does how I dress for church really matter?” You’re also welcome to post prayer requests and even silly memes. After all, laughter is good like a medicine! Jan McIntyre is the lead admin for this group. She has been a pastor’s wife for almost 40 years. Jan has a passion for Jesus and encouraging pastors’ wives. Meet Jan here.
Silently Bleeding: Hope for the Broken Hearted is a safe group for pastors’ wives or former pastors’ wives that have been or are being abused or abandoned or have adult children going through abuse or abandonment. Julie Davenport is the lead admin in this group. She understands what it means to walk through abuse and infidelity. Julie also knows what it means to find healing and wholeness through Jesus. You can watch Julie’s story here.
Hope for the Retired Pastor’s Wife is led by Susan Pippin. Retirement doesn’t mean you’re finished in ministry, it’s a different season of ministry. You may find yourself ministering to your neighbors or younger pastors’ wives or you and your spouse might fill in at other churches. This is a great group to connect with other retired pastors’ wives and share ideas, exchange stories, pray for each other and laugh together. Meet Susan here.
Hope for the Pastor’s Widow is a group no pastor’s wife ever plans to be a part of. But if it does happen, there is a safe place to find encouragement, ask questions like “How do I this?” or “What should I do about that?” In this group you can connect with ladies that understand what you’re going through. Our lead admin is Jelly Valimont. She unexpectedly lost her husband a few years ago. You can watch Jelly’s story here.
Our newest group is Silently Bleeding: Hope for the Female Missionary. If you are a female missionary, this is the group for you. You’ll be able to connect with other like minded women called by God for such a time as this.
