Testimonials

"As a pastor with twenty-five years in full-time ministry, I am all too familiar with the weight, pace, and more of pastoral work in the Western church.  I've served as a student pastor, senior pastor, and solo pastor.  In full transparency, I completely underestimated my own need for purposeful Sabbath rest.  In trying to be all things to all people, I ended up burning out.  In 2024, while starting my own sabbatical, I ended up hospitalized.  My body had gotten locked into a stress response, and I was experiencing life-threatening health issues.  Thankfully, that was the wake-up call I needed.  And the following five weeks of sabbatical provided tremendous healing.  Pastors, missionaries, and those serving people daily need to take intentional periods of rest.  Intended & Co. understands those needs on a personal and professional level.  Quite frankly, they understand that Sabbath rest is what Jesus INTENDED for all of us.  If you are someone who needs the help and rest of Intended & Co.'s resources reach out!  If you are someone who has a passion for helping support Kingdom workers like pastors, missionaries, and more, would you consider investing your financial resources and prayers in Intended & Co.’s mission?" - Pastor Craig Howie, Indiana
