"PRAY WITHOUT CEASING" TO SAVE HUMANITY FROM COVID-19.
"PRAY WITHOUT CEASING" TO SAVE HUMANITY FROM COVID-19.
Dearly beloved in Christ,
This month is an important month for all of us as we the church are looking forward to the Maramon Convention. Even with the restrictions of COVID, the privilege to hold the conference and to witness it on the virtual platform is such a blessing for us who are miles away to still have the feel to be on the sand beds and listen to the word of God. Let us pray that this year’s convention can be a motivation for us to guide the world and be the light in the darkness so that others can know God through us.
This month we are also recognizing the Medical Mission Sunday. Let us understand the blessings of medicine and those who are in the medical field. We should recognize this as a ministry, quite specifically the healing ministry. Let us thank God for all our own who are working in this field in various avenues either as a physician, nurse, or many other ways that are recognized as being a healthcare worker. This ministry is the hands and feet of Jesus’ earthly ministry, we should first depend on God who is the greatest physician, and rely on Him as we pray for the human hands depending on the divine work that comes through it. Let us also pray for the healing of this land throughout this pandemic period.
This month we are entering into two fasting periods, first is the three days fast of Nineveh, and that is followed by the great Lenten period of 50 days as we journey together understanding the passion of Christ. Let us use this time to pray, repent and humble ourselves.
The NERYF has planned the year programs and it will be shared through the youth fellowships, please do mark the events of each program and conferences and encourage our youths to be part of it. As usual, our weekly men’s and women’s Bible Studies are held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays respectfully. Make use of these forums and let God’s word move us. Have a blessed month of February!
Much Love,
Jess M. George Achen.
Youth Chaplain
