(Re)Inspire Testimonials

As a new church plant, Dave Kleffman and the (Re)Inspire Network team has been such a blessing to me and my ministry. I always look forward to monthly luncheons, the speakers and their topics are always practical and relevant to today’s growing cultural diversity.

What Dave is doing through (Re)Inspire is something that many pastors have longed for, for a long time. He has created a format for the shepherds of the city to routinely gather to pray, learn, and network. This is a good for the health of the pastor and the flourishing faith community.

The (Re)Inspire Network, founded by Dave Kleffman, is a ministry to and for pastors. The monthly luncheons provide a time of fellowship and encouragement for pastors who might otherwise feel alone. To have access to the resourcing that (Re)Inspire provides, assists those of us in pastoral ministry with the tasks that otherwise might seem too daunting. We definitely find that we are not alone in this call to church leadership.

I have attended several of the luncheons hosted by the (Re)Inspire Network, and have been enriched by the idea of getting church leadership together to learn and to share. I personally receive encouragement from the fellowship generated among the many church organizations that attend. The food is great, but it is made so much more nourishing by the company of men and women who come together in the name of the Lord, and meet each other in an atmosphere of love and respect. (Remove?) For the past 20+ years, I have seen Hampton Roads as a place where churches selfishly guard their members, reject others not of their denomination, and are suspicious of other churches outside of their own. With the example set by (Re)Inspire Network, I see hope for this region. We can work together, and learn to serve the Lord and each other without jealousy and suspicion. That alone makes it easier for me to continue working for the Lord in my little corner of ministry.

I enjoy the (Re)Inspire network because it is a safe and encouraging place to fellowship with other pastors and ministry leaders. The luncheons give life and help me refocus my life and ministry as a pastor.
