FieldPartner was proud to host 'Self-care for God's Servants', an excellent presentation from Tony Horsfall. ‘Self-care for God’s Servants’ asked the question ‘Is self-care valid?’ and then looked practically at ways in which we may care for others without neglecting our own needs. In particular, Tony looked at the discipline of stopping, and the practice of sabbath. We've had lots of brilliant feedback from those who attended who were encouraged and challenged by what Tony shared. If you would like to watch the recording of the event, you can do so here:

The message is "self-care for God's servants is uplifting. It caused me to consider more concerning the essential need for "Sabbath rest".
