The bible teaches us that times and seasons are in God's hands. We are called to trust Him, whatever happens and now, with the coronavirus pandemic making its presence felt all over the world, God calls us to stand firm and above all to pray for governments, for our neighbours and for our nation.
Our vision is to point people to God during this time so that they might trust Him and find comfort and encouragement from His word. The resources included here are intended to equip and inspire you all in these uncertain times to pray without ceasing, asking God to be merciful to our land, our neighbours and to our families.
The secret is this: Knowing that the same sovereignty that could stop the coronavirus and doesn’t, is the very sovereignty that sustains the soul in it. Indeed, more than sustains — sweetens with hope that, for those who trust him, his purposes are kind, even in death.
Here are some helpful resources to help you navigate through this crisis.
