Among the pressing issues in the twenty first century lies the environmental crisis. Younger generations are being bombarded by this issue within their schools, universities, and media platforms. Personalities, such as Greta Thunberg, a young Swedish environmental activist, and other public figures are raising awareness to reduce the carbon footprint for future generations.Amid this environmental focus, Christians are either divided or remain silent. As a result, younger generations are left concerned, confused, and even outraged, due to this silence or inaction. Many Pentecostal pastor’s kidsfall within this category.Pentecostal ministers and spouses face the challenge of their children's spiritual well-being. Their children wrestle with many ministry-related circumstances. Consequently, the family of the pastor can be adversely affected. A major question is: How can Pentecostal ministers engage their families with a purpose that could enhance their well-being?This paper explores whether an intentional focus on Eco-theology could enhance the spiritual well-being of Pentecostal Minister’s Families. Doctor Daryl J. Potts from Alphacrucis University College, Australia, conducted research into ministry families This paper draws from his findings and a further investigation into Eco-theology to explore whether an intentional focus on creation care could strengthen the spiritual well-being of Pentecostal PKs
