The Encouragers - Monthly Partners in Ministry

A Restorative Getaway for Pastor Couples - Made Possible by You

At Teamness, we believe the most important team leading any church is the husband and wife who carry the weight of ministry together. When that team is healthy—spiritually, emotionally, and relationally—the whole church can thrive.

And it's working. In 2025, pastor couples gave our getaways a perfect 5.0 rating, with 98% rating their experience as "Outstanding."

The Impact You're Making

When you become an Encourager, you provide more than just a getaway—you're investing in the spiritual health of churches across America.

Here's What Pastor Couples Are Experiencing:

Rest and Renewal
"We arrived feeling tired, overworked, and in need of concentrated time together. We are leaving feeling rested, calm, and reconnected to one another."

Spiritual Refreshment
"This was not a vacation for us, it was spiritual renewal, and I look forward to the Lord using it in ways only He can in our ministry."

Strengthened Teams
94% of pastor couples strongly agree that they felt "strengthened and encouraged" through their getaway experience.

Long-Term Ministry Impact
"Leading from exhaustion is never a good idea, so I believe the rest this week will give me a healthier mindset as I interact with others."

What Your Monthly Gift Provides

As an Encourager, your ongoing support provides the essentials necessary for pastor-couples to experience rest and renewal:

• Peaceful, private accommodations where couples can simply be together

• Restaurant gift cards so finances don't add stress to their time away

• Caring, discerning hosts who provide hospitality and encouragement

• Flexible activities from hiking and kayaking to quiet walks and fire-pit evenings

• The freedom to receive instead of always being the ones who give

One couple shared: "We personally invest so much into others and our church, that it was nice to have someone invest in us. Pastors always give and pour into others & it is refreshing to be on the receiving end."

The Ripple Effect

When you invest in a pastor couple, the impact extends far beyond those few days away:

Their Marriage Strengthens
"We left rested, closer, and more of a team again."

Their Church Benefits
"These five days will help me return to my church more hopeful and encouraged, which allows me to share that with the people under my care."

Ministry Continues
"Our little church was very nervous about releasing us for six weeks on a sabbatical... without our Teamness retreat, the sabbatical might not have happened at all."
