ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Barry Farmilo and for thirty years I served as a lead pastor in New Zealand.Over these years I walked alongside congregations through the many seasons of church life and ministry.These years in ministry have given me a deep respect for the calling carried by pastors and church leaders, and their care for communities of faith.
Much of the work of church leadership happens quietly and faithfully. It involves spiritual responsibility, pastoral care, and the everyday work of guiding people in their walk of life and faith.Ministry leadership can be deeply rewarding, but it can also be demanding with significant responsibilities.I have come to appreciate how important it is for church leaders to have places where they can step back and pause from the immediacy of ministry and think carefully about their personal leadership, faith and direction.Because of this, I have come to value the importance of coaching for encouragement, and conversation in a confidencial space for those serving in ministry.Reach out if I can be of help to you by being a coach to you for the pastor or leadership role you are in.What else do I doI contribute to the encouragement and development of church leaders through my association with the Centre for Church Leadership.Check out my FAITHMINUTE Youtube channel where I post encouragement for everyday Christian faith life (see below)
