“I am so thankful to be a part of Fellowship of Lone Shepherds. I got connected with Everett in a particularly difficult season. I was dealing with a new diagnosis, loneliness, and discouragement. Everett personally connected with me and reminded me that I’m not alone. He has repeatedly shown up and offered a listening ear.”

“After my wife and I set off from our hometown to become missionaries, I knew that isolation and loneliness were going to be a part of my call. What I did not expect was the heaviness of stepping into fulltime ministry on top of the loneliness and inability to share these emotional and spiritual burdens with others. Everett of Fellowship of Lone Shepherds stepped in and supported both me and my wife so well. He understood the challenges that can come along with vocational ministry. He was able to meet virtually and even came to visit us when we were in Colorado. He ministered to me in a season of darkness and helped me feel connected to a larger body of believers. He encouraged me into the ministry ahead of me. I am beyond grateful for him and pray that more ministers are able to connect with him (and with each other) to find support for the calling before them.””

“As the sole clergy in my congregation, I can’t tell you how lonely and isolated I sometimes feel. Finding someone in my congregation in whom I could confide freely was unwise and most other clergy I knew were often as overwhelmed as I was. Everett of Fellowship of Lone Shepherds came alongside me as a friend and a brother minister, someone who had been where I was and was willing to be there for me. I have no words to describe how deeply I appreciate his companionship, his listening ear, and his effectual prayers on my behalf.”
