Dr. Steve Lemke has written a helpful piece on the different ways that deacons can help their pastors. He encourages deacons to:
- be problem solvers;
- be servants;
- be companions in ministry;
- be prayer partners;
- be consistent;
- be encouragers;
- be trusted confidants and friends;
- be positive men of faith.
In his article, Lemke speaks to each of these ideas with words of wise counsel. I commend the article to you. It can be read here.
