God guides us to be on purpose and on mission.
You are either a pastor or you know one. Thanks for visiting OnePastor and please know that I am here to help and to serve. I won’t bore you with a long introduction. My name is Donnie Lafferty and I am doing my best to listen to God and be still in Him. What a blessing when God leans into us with lessons of life and love. Lessons are hard and so is suffering. You will learn more about me in time. For now just know that I sincerely desire to serve pastors in their pursuit to be their best for God. I have helped hundreds of people lose weight through the years and I too have battled a growing waistline.
Check out this key verse.
Colossians 3:23
23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
We work at a lot of things for many reasons. This says to work heartily for the Lord and not for men. I got saved at age 19 and have battled to know my career calling for many years. I’ve served in ministry in various capacities. I’m now an HR Director at a college in Georgia by the way. I do however want to help minister to people and God uses me daily. OnePastor has been in the making for years, over 10 to be more specific.
I aim to keep developing this but for now, I am going to take it one day at a time seeking to help one pastor at a time to become more healthy. And yes, for free. I coach pastors virtually by texting them 2 times per day. It makes it sustainable for me and each pastor in terms of time. We will eat normal grocery story food. No purchasing anything other than fruit, chicken, steaks, hamburger, sweet potatoes, veggies, oatmeal, and whatever the pastor wants other than bread and sugar. We can do this. Reach out to me and again welcome to OnePastor!

God Made You Unique. I love to eat.
I have found that it’s so important to view people with appreciation for their uniqueness. No one in the whole world is exactly like you!! When I get to know people it’s amazing that we all have stories. Stories of pain, loss, joy, and exciting times. Your story is valuable. I want to hear it. If many of you are like me, you love to eat. This is enjoyable until it causes health issues, lack of energy, low confidence, and so on. So let’s learn together how to eat smart the food that is cleaner and better for us. I will help you.
You are a busy person and want to know what’s the point.
Here you go. A quick summary for those still saying “so what!”
You Know Why.
What’s your reason for losing weight and improving your health? Think about that and write it down. Pray about it.
Be Skeptical.
With so many fads, ads, and scams out there you should be skeptical. You don’t know me. I could say anything and you should check me out. Here are some truths. I battle weight loss myself and wish to run alongside pastors and clients in the battle. It’s a real battle. I have overcome a ton and that motivates me to help others through tough times. My bride of over 23 years died in 2019 of suicide. Credibility wise I have provided print and marketing services to major pastors like David Jeremiah. I have served ministries in many capacities. Life changed for me in a huge way when my wife died in 2019. Check me out more at OnePastor.com.
Pray for me.
I welcome your help in growing this ministry called OnePastor. It’s my creative outlet and a tool to help me and others grow in the Word of God. What a great way for me to connect with Pastors called by God to minister to others with the good news. I am excited. Pray for me to be discerning as I connect with hurting people daily.
