Phil ~ P.I.T. Crew combines three core elements: Pastors. Intercessors. Teams. How does this work for pastors?
Roger ~ The P.I.T. Crew ministry is designed to provide a support network for pastors by a team of laity who are intentionally praying for their pastor. The P.I.T. Crew is made up of laity selected by the pastor and the P.I.T. Crew coordinator coordinates this ministry.
The pastor’s responsibilities are to select the members of the P.I.T. Crew, determine the P.I.T. Crew coordinator, determine the date and time of the monthly P.I.T. Crew gatherings and to provide the prayer requests to the P.I.T. Crew coordinator for the monthly gatherings

For a number of years I have led a prayer ministry for my pastor titled PIT Crew. This is a ministry where laity from my church make a commitment to pray for our pastor during the month, including Sunday mornings. In addition we get together for an hour on the first Saturday of the month to pray for and with our pastor. We have found this prayer ministry to be a source of strength and encouragement for our pastor.
My question for everyone is this: Do many of you participate in a ministry of praying for your pastor? If so What is your prayer ministry like?
Praying Together,
