AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM OUR REGIONAL DIRECTOR:
In these days of chaos and rapid change, our God is the unshakeable foundation upon which we firmly stand. Knowing that we rest in His hands and that He is firmly in control gives us a peace that passes all understanding. These do not have to be dark days! They are days that God has given us; days in which we can thrive in relationship with Him and in ministry to those around us!
But that doesn’t change the fact that this is hard. So many things are up in the air, and the situation changes hourly. It seems that our carefully established security is being ripped away. Health and wealth have been the mainstay of American prosperity for so long that we have come to expect them to always be there. But now both health and wealth are in jeopardy, and there is a lot of uncertainty.
In these days, our purpose becomes even more clear. Get closer to Jesus! Spend your time off work or quarantined in your home in growing the bond between you and Him. Know Him in His Word. Seek His face in prayer. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and all your strength.
Also, in these days, we must remember that our mission has not changed. Maybe our normal activities are curtailed, and we might not be able to meet with our church families, but our mission remains. There are people around us who need to find their way back to Jesus. There are people lost and alone and afraid. Look for opportunities to love with the love of Jesus and to show care like Jesus cares. Serve in Jesus’ Name, and share Him in love at every opportunity.
I encourage you to connect with your church family in whatever creative ways you can do so. Connect also with your family and use this time as a God-provided Sabbath of peace and renewal together. Decide to live in faith and dependence upon our Savior rather than in fear of what might happen to your health or your wealth.
The Apostle Paul gave this blessing to the church at Rome. It is a timely word for us today:
May the God of hope fill you will all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. – Romans 15:13
Your servant,
Jim Jordan, Regional Director
