...for a pastor.

Senior pastors, youth pastors, children's pastors...those who follow God's call to be in a pastoral, leadership position in our churches have the potential to make a huge impact on people's faith. What pastor has impacted your faith journey in a memorable way?

Today's post is shared by Kendra Schmidt, YMT.

Though she is no longer positioned at my home church, for the few years Karen Nelson preached at Lisbon United Methodist she made quite the memorable impact. She was so warm, friendly, and welcoming. She radiated with the love and joy of the Lord. I was visiting home once and she made time to meet and have coffee with me. She took interest in the things going on in my personal life. She even gave me my first opportunity to speak in front of the church for a sermon. She is an amazing person who I greatly admire and I am thankful for her.
