Female pastoral couples face some unique challenges which can cause stress.  This presentation will give results of a survey and individual interviews with female pastors and their husbands located in the Trans-European Division and the South Pacific Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.  These couples report stress in the areas of finance, social network and pastoral expectations from the congregation and the church.  Participants were concerned about congregational needs taking priority over the needs of the family, lack of good social network, high cost of living, and the relocation of pastoral families.  Coping strategies included good self-care, talking to and connecting with others, taking time for personal devotions and family worship, good financial management and saving schemes, and finding good balance between work and personal life.  These results will be compared to a similar study conducted in the North American Division among male pastoral couples.

We will determine how to engage with worldview at a child’s various developmental stages and look at a prime Biblical example of parental influence on a child’s worldview—the life of Timothy. With prayerful and intentional forethought, parents can use the early years of their children’s lives to have an eternal impact.
