COVID-19 makes missions even more crucial. Here’s why.
How to pursue missions in this time
1)
Pray!
This seems like the easy, "Sunday school answer," but it is so important. We can be in prayer for missionaries that we know, many whom face difficult decisions during this time. Their normal ministries have been disrupted, so we can pray for them to find new, creative ways to reach people. Pray that the Lord uses this devastating time to bring many to the knowledge of him!
2) Visit joshuaproject.org and do some research on one of the thousands of unreached people groups that still do not have access to the gospel. Choose a group or two, and begin praying for them on a daily basis. Ask the Lord to give you a burden for the lost.
3) Give if you are able. Many missionaries may be losing the financial support of donors and churches as the coronavirus impacts people financially. Reach out to a missionary friend, or find one online , and give a little extra this month. SEND has set up a crisis fund to help us respond to COVID-19.
4) Connect with unbelievers whom you know. Use social media and technology during this time to have intentional gospel conversations. Share the peace and hope of Jesus.
5) Reach out to a missions coach ! You don't have to be 100% certain that the Lord is calling you into missions. Personally, one of my favorite parts of this job is talking and praying with people who are considering if missions is for them. We're always happy to simply talk with you, help you process what missions might look like for you, and pray with you.
