‘Pastors Without Boundaries’ ends ministry

It was a sad day at Pastors Without Boundaries headquarters in New York, as the renowned non-profit ended its 30-year worldwide ministry Sept. 1. Originally bustling with dedicated workaholic chaplains and ministers, the staff had dwindled to just two, and they left last week. “I suppose requests kept coming in from other worthy causes, and they felt they just couldn’t say no,” said former president Fred Maples. “That’s one of the things that brought us together in the first place, and…actually, um, I’d really like to tell you more about it, but I’m watching my neighbor’s three dogs for the weekend and it’s time for their walk, then I’m mentoring at the community center at 3 p.m. Can I just text you later?”
