To help stop the spread of COVID-19, many churches, including mine (Lorilyn Roberts), have developed church services online to serve church members during this crisis. One of our John 3:16 authors, Martin Roth, who lives in Australia, shared his vision of helping those without online church services to be able to connect with other Christians without leaving their homes and risking exposure.
So, I sent out a call to our John 3:16 authors, and many responded, sending me links to church services at their home church. Our members are all over the world, and it’s another example of how we can connect with one another spiritually during this time of crisis.
Please check out the links and enjoy worshipping at home. I want to encourage you to post any prayer requests you have in the comments below, and we will be praying for you.
I’m also including links to blog posts you might find helpful written by our John 3:16 authors.
As Christians, we have the Prince of Peace who lives in our hearts, and the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. Despite not being able to meet as a Church Body, we are the vessel God has chosen to spread His Word of salvation to the world, so let us be mindful that we've been set apart to carry out God's mission. I truly believe God can use COVID-19 to open the hearts of the unreached and the unsaved. Jesus Christ can bring comfort to those who are hurting and those who are sick with the Coronavirus.
Stay safe wherever you are by staying away from crowds and preferably staying at home. Let us pray for our leaders—Australia, Canada, Cuba, Israel, England, India, and everywhere—for a special anointing from God to come over those in positions of power. Let’s lift them up and pray for revival.
And let's pray for our healthcare workers who are on the front lines fighting this pestilence to keep us safe. As I write this, I wonder, could COVID-19 be one of the signs of the Lord’s imminent return?
Jesus said: “…and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.” (Luke 21:11)
