We are in the midst of interesting times. The craziness of Covid-19 is challenging all of our normal operations. While I do agree with many who have posted on social media, I also know that God is bigger than this, He has us in His hands, and this was not a surprise to Him.
With that, we need to be wise in our thinking and actions. I do think we need to be wise. My mind went to Ecclesiastes 8:1 "How wonderful to be wise, to analyze and interpret things." So, what is the wisdom we need to consider?
- Take care of yourself and your family.
- Take a day to spend alone with God.
Pray for wisdom over your ministry, the volunteers you serve, and the communities they serve.
- Stay connected to each other.
We have been meeting virtually as an organization since the beginning. We have assembled a list of our favorite resources.
For Networking:
- We need to move gatherings online.
This is one reason we have pulled together the online resources. Let's lead the way!
- Continue to practice the four priorities of networking.
Here are resources for this - click here
- Pastor communities TOGETHER.
I admit I am most concerned about students and youth leaders isolating themselves. These are the times when decisions can and will be made that violate value systems . We need to pray protection around them, but we can also check-in with them.
These are harder times and decisions need to be made. Let's seek the wisdom of God as we walk through the next several weeks. We are better together!
