Welcome to Shepherd’s Heart in Canada. †
We Are Here For You!
Shepherd’s Heart is an Intensive Retreat Ministry for married couples in Christian leadership who need a place of sanctuary, healing and restoration. SHM is a “financially sponsored ministry” helping ministry couples move through their deep distress. We provide Biblical spiritual, emotional, practical teaching solutions in a confidential, safe environment. Our private retreat Sanctuaries are a place where a couple is cared for and loved during a “Five Day Intensive” of specialized pastoral care.
Pastoral Care Specialists
We are Pastoral Care Specialists, trained and experienced in the SHM Marriage Intensive model developed by the founders of Shepherd’s Heart Ministry – Larry and Lorrie Russell. Our pastoral care Intensives are uniquely designed for couples in Christian leadership. We provide biblically grounded and Christ-centered solutions.
The private Intensive sessions are conducted in a safe and comfortable environment providing specialized care with our trained pastoral couple – Carsten and Linda Pellmann – Shepherd’s Heart is committed to pastors, missionaries and leadership couples serving in para-church ministry.
