networking with other PWs

Back in April, Craig Groeschel, pastor of Lifechurch.tv in Oklahoma, opened his blog up for readers to ask his wife, Amy, questions. The question I posted was:

Do you network with other pastor’s wives in your area? If so, what activities/events have you found to be the most beneficial in terms of support, sharing, spiritual growth, etc.

Here's her answer: (check out the rest of the question/answer blogs here)

Delina, Yes! For the past several years I have co-hosted a pastors’ wives luncheon in our metro area. We gather together at least semi-annually to connect as friends and pray for one another. It has been a wonderful blessing to get to know and deeply care for these women and the churches they serve.

If you’d like to start something like this in your community, here are a few ideas:

• Start with two or three pastors’ wives you know and ask them to invite their friends.
• Ask your husband which pastors he knows whose wives might be interested.
• Pray and ask God to show you ministers you’ve never met that you could invite.
• I’ve found that most pastors’ wives can make it to a midweek lunch. Many love to bring something and contribute.
• Chances are good you’ll be shocked at how many ministry wives crave these friendships.

I strongly recommend you start uniting ministries however you can in your community!

Have any of you have success networking with other PWs?
