What They Don't Tell Pastors About Rural Ministry:

As written by Shannon O'Dell in "Transforming Church in Rural America".

1. It's the most difficult job on earth.

2. Friends will become enemies.

3. The people who leave the church are going to glare at you in the check-out lane at Wal-Mart for the rest of your life.

4. You're going to be thrown in a pit.

5. A red-hot marriage is a MUST for being an effective rural pastor.

6. Scritpures never give us qualifications for the office, but it gives us tons of Scripture for the home.
