What Others Are Saying About ServingLeaders Ministries

“The glory of Christ and the joys of the ministry are the heartfelt delights of the pastor. But every Christian leader learns early in his call that the pastoral life is the way of the cross, which also travels rocky roads and traverses stormy seas.  Based on my own privilege of serving with Dave Wiedis – an accomplished attorney, seasoned counselor, and faithful servant leader in Christ’s Church and Kingdom – I can heartily recommend his God given gifts of wisdom and encouragement.  Whether your spiritual journey is under dark clouds of adversity or seeking the covenantal rainbow of God’s providential mercy, Dave offers a place of grace in time of need.”

Dr. Peter A. Lillback, Senior Pastor,
Proclamation Presbyterian Church, Bryn Mawr, PA
President, Westminster Theological Seminary, Glenside, PA

“It is my perception that 80-90% of all pastors are in ‘survival mode.’ Every one of us who has served any time in the ministry knows the battering and bruising that come with being a spiritual leader. Often we have been stripped of our dignity and do not know which way to turn, nor who to talk to, to find encouragement. Often we are driven to pray in silence, and (maybe) confide in our wives. The need for a confidant with wise and sympathetic counsel is a “screaming need!” That God has called David Wiedis, a friend of mine, to enter into the lonely, broken places of pastors’ lives is a real gift to the body of Christ. David, from his own experiences, across many miles of travel, and in touching the many facets of ministry life, has been prepared by God to come alongside pastors in the name of Jesus Christ, Our Wounded Healer. David has worked alongside strong and successful leaders in the church, but knows the price they have paid behind the scenes. His wife Miho, is a wonderful asset, for no man stands alone in a ministry like this.”

Rev. John Guest, Senior Pastor,
Christ Church at Grove Farm, Sewickley, PA

ServingLeaders is a ministry that Dulce and I wholeheartedly support. Dave Wiedis is a gifted counselor and has helped many pastors, who in many cases, have no where to turn. Imagine the churches that have been “blown apart” as a result of difficulties that a pastor might have and no one to turn to for help. Dave’s unique ministry has probably salvaged not only pastors, but many congregations as well. His wisdom should be imparted to every seminarian as ‘here are the pitfalls of ministry, and how to prevent them.’ If saving churches reaches your heart, we suggest you consider supporting ServingLeaders.

“Dave is both a brother and friend in whom I have the greatest confidence. His desire to serve, support and encourage pastors and Christian leaders is matched by his wisdom, insight, and theological depth. There is a great need to reach and encourage pastors and leaders who so often work in relative isolation with limited emotional or spiritual support. Dave has been a source for such support to me and any Christian leader who finds him or herself in such a condition would be blessed by Dave’s fellowship and counsel.”

“As a pastor and as a servant of Christ, I praise God for the Holy Spirit’s leading in creating ServingLeaders Ministries. The time has come and is now more important than ever to have honest, courageous and vulnerable relationships, support and encouragement for pastors and ministry leaders that desperately need it . . . I can think of few men more qualified than Dave Wiedis to lead such an important ministry!  Dave is passionate in his faith, confident in his Savior and faithful in his relationships.  He will be a great asset to individual pastors and church leaders and a great influence of grace on the body of Christ.”

Rev. Andrew Hudson, Lead Pastor
Chelten Baptist Church, Dresher, PA

“If it were not for a few godly mentors and friends the Lord placed in my life, I would not have survived as a pastor. Throughout the years, they motivated me, challenged me, and even corrected me. They spoke the truth to me in love. Their only desire—to help me be the servant, husband, and father God wanted me to become. That’s the vision Dave Wiedis has for ServingLeaders Ministries. His heart of compassion and courage will make him a welcome friend and asset in any pastor’s life.”

Clarence A. Johnson, Director of Church Relations
Philadelphia Biblical University, Langhorne, PA

“Pastors and other ordained and lay leaders are probably the most over worked, yet over looked, populations of our churches . . . Who cares for the caretakers of others souls so that they don’t get to this stage? Usually, no one.  That’s why I’m so excited about ServingLeaders Ministries. Having known Dave for several years now, I’m impressed by his heart for others and his burden to minister to those who minister.  I know the Lord will use this ministry for his glory and for the growth and spiritual wellbeing of church leadership.”

John Freeman, Executive Director
Harvest USA, Philadelphia, PA

“Dave Wiedis gets my unconditional support to lead ServingLeaders Ministries.  God has prepared him for this vital ministry.  Dave understands first-hand the pressures of ministry – both on the individual and on his or her family.  His ministerial and teaching experience, coupled with his counseling background, make him the ideal fit to minister to ministers.  Most importantly, however, is that Dave’s love for the Lord and for people is evident in both his attitude and lifestyle.  I am confident that God’s Hand on Dave’s life and ministry will continue to make an eternal difference for the Kingdom through ServingLeaders Ministries.”
