Gift Of The Pastor. This term has become more of a governmental title than the title of a person’s true gifting and calling. There are pastors in every congregation who never stand behind a pulpit or preach from a platform. The pastor is outwardly recognized by their passion for gathering, recovering, and caring for God’s people. Compassion for people is key when identifying pastors. The pastor performs the shepherding of the body. Jesus is the pattern shepherd.
