Strengthening those who strengthen others
After more than 40 years in pastoral ministry, Dr. Victor L. Stanley serves as Director of Pastoral Care & Leadership Formation at 1322 Foundation.
Leaders need care too
Leaders who serve on the front lines of ministry often carry invisible burdens, serve in isolating cross-cultural settings and have no one caring for them. Many raise their own support and have no budget for counseling or coaching.
Healthy leaders sustain healthy ministries. This division exists so that those who pour themselves out for others do not carry the weight alone.
Care that is personal and sustained
All care is provided at no cost to the pastors, missionaries and couples who receive it.
Pastoral care & spiritual direction
One-on-one care for ministry leaders navigating transition, conflict, grief or burnout, in person or by video across time zones.
Marriage coaching
Support for missionary and ministry couples under strain, and pre-marital preparation grounded in Scripture.
On-site care
Travel within the United States and abroad for pastoral intensives, retreats and visits with missionaries and leadership teams.
Teaching & formation resources
Weekly devotionals, sermons and teaching series, published at drvstanley.com.
Serving with One Challenge International
Dr. Stanley and his wife, Cynthia, serve as OCI Associates. Through the Foundation, they are helping One Challenge International build a pastoral care ministry for its missionaries and partner churches.
