2026 Soul Care for Leaders Network

European leaders serve in their ministries, organisations, and communities with faithfulness, yet when circumstances become difficult and ministries enter periods of extended stress, many leaders do not receive the personal care and guidance they desperately need. Leaders suffer from isolation, lacking mutual encouragement and fellowship from others who are going through similar difficulties as well as wisdom and direction from trustworthy mentors who have successfully persevered through their own seasons of pain and hopelessness.
The Soul Care for Leaders Network’s vision is to equip Christian leaders to:
- Understand and apply a biblically-based view of life and ministry
- Receive encouragement, prayer, and guidance and mentoring
- Establish a biblical mindset and approach to the work God has called them to
What Network Participants Are Saying
- "The Forum has been a great blessing for me. It is amazing to be able to have conversations with like-minded people who share my same passion about Jesus. I'm also really enjoying my network: Soul Care for Leaders. When I applied I was going through a very difficult time, the hardest in my life, and I thought I didn't have any strength left for my ministry. What I'm hearing at this conference is continuing to confirm that Jesus is taking care of my soul and that I can receive encouragement from my family in Christ."
- Shanizee Scorsone, GBU Staff & Youth Coordinator, Italy - "I have received an important reminder that we, as leaders, must take care of our own souls and well-being and that at the center of that is an active and strong relationship with God. In ministry, it is very easy to get stressed and emotionally immersed in the problems of youth, but being a part of the Soul Care Network was a reminder that I need to take care of my own well-being so I can help others."
- Gabriele Stake, Youth Leader, Lithuania - "I do evangelism ministry in the Czech Republic, which is one of the most atheistic countries in the world. My ministry is sometimes an uphill grind and lonely, so to be part of such an amazing Christian community is really priceless for me."
- Martina Valcharova, Project Leader, Czech Republic
The Soul Care for Leaders Network seeks to bring hope, healing, and renewal to weary Christian leaders through a biblical understanding of God’s grace, prayer, and living out the command to carry one another’s burdens.
