Staying Safe During COVID-19 | March 13, 2020 Avoiding public spaces and working remotely can help to reduce the spread of COVID-19, but for many survivors, staying home may not be the safest option.

Congratulations to all the women, men, girls and boys whovolunteered their time, skill and effort for a successful COVID-19response program!

What the volunteers achieved by God’s grace was nothing shortof incredible! Those who needed it the most, got timelycustomised help. By helping others, the volunteers in returnexperienced Christ’s love and comfort. The dedication of allvolunteers and entities who made this program a successencourages me that as members of the body of Christ, we allhave a part to contribute to the whole person in need – spiritual,physical and emotional. I can hardly wait to experience whatGod will enable us all to achieve together in future projects.
