Serving Today Dealing with Disasters (19) Advice for pastors and church leaders

Last in the Serving Today series from the archives on Dealing with Disasters.

Dr John Hall urges church leaders to “be sensitive … [with those who] are traumatised by their ordeals … don’t push them too hard … the first thing to do is to listen to them”

His advice is to preach Christ and the love of God; use biblical illustrations; love and encourage God’s people; praying that they will trust and submit to God’s will and hope in the coming glory.
