Since I have three brother-in-laws who are pastors, this issue is close to my heart. You don't have to spend a whole lot of money on your minister -- just let him know that you appreciate him and his work. Pray for him and let him know that you're praying for him. And maybe send him a card to encourage him and his wife! Click here for free ministry appreciate e-cards that you can send.
