In the street church that I am part of, many people refer to Peter, the brother who first went out into the streets to share Jesus, as "Pastor Peter." But some of the local church groups had objection to this as Peter had only known the Lord for a few short years and had no formal Bible School or Seminary training, and certainly no "credentials." Still, like you, he had no trouble with people calling him pastor, because for them he was their pastor, the one who had pointed them to Jesus and has continued to shepherd them. I am going to pass your post on to him; I know it will be an encouragement!norma j hillhttp://normajhill.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
