Yes, we disinfect the external with all kinds. But what's worse than COVID19 -- or any other infectious disease -- is sin in our hearts.

Sin is the reason for death and all the chaos in the world since the fall of man.

We are all infected with sin. We can't really blame patient zero (Adam & Eve) because we also actively do wrong even though we know what's right. Sin does not only mean speaking, doing and thinking evil (like murder, immorality, disobedience, etc.), but it is also not doing the good that we should be doing.

Dis-ease is lack of ease, or no peace. We lack peace with God, peace with other people.

But there’s Good News! God has the antidote to sin.

Antidote #1: God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. (John 3:16, John 10:10)

Antidote #2: Man is sinful and separated from God. He cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for his life. (Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23)

Antidote #3: Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for man’s sin. Jesus bore the punishment that should have been for us. (Romans 5:8, John 14:6)

Antidote #4: We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience His love and plan for us. (John 1:12, Ephesians 2: 8, 9)

God's antidote is free. If you can read this, you still have time to avail.

Do you want this sin-antidote? If this prayer expresses the desire of your heart, then you can pray this prayer right now, and Christ will come into your life, as He promised.

Let's pray.

“Lord Jesus, I need you. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.”

If you prayed this, you may connect with us through WhatsApp +639178617010 anytime so we can walk this faith journey together. May God protect you and your family during these challenging times.

"Maybe this could inspire us at this time as this made me really proud of our staff and students. This morning we had a virtual meeting with some student leaders to design a digital plan. Our students came up with the idea of creating online communities with different focuses. We are calling them 'Quarantine Communities.'

We have 6 communities:

1. Reading the Bible

2. Cooking

3. Book club

4. Fitness

5. Film

6. Serve your elderly neighbor

How does a Quarantine Community work? A student manages each group and creates virtual activities every day. Regular zoom meetings are also being held for students to join and participate in. Through these efforts, our students still get to share their gifts and talents within these communities. And they continue to invite friends from their networks to join the different Quarantine Communities.

Another initiative they have come up with is the Weekly Virtual Dinners every Tuesday evening. They will use this platform to have fellowship together. This coming Tuesday, the theme they will be discussing on will be 'How to share your faith with 20 friends in 2020.'" --Maarten

Faith Actions:

1. What can I learn from this story?

2. What is God leading me to do in the midst of this pandemic?

Here are other ideas that can possibly be done in the corners of our homes to stay away from COVID-19 pandemic, while moving closer to the Vision2020 God called us to go.

1. Digital Outreach
   Form an Online Team.
   Discuss strategies, tools/resources and how-to’s for an online outreach. Identify the target audience. Pin down the schedule when to do it online simultaneously.

2. Discipleship through Zoom/Hangouts/Messenger
   Set-up a group call with your disciples and discuss relevant discipleship topics online. Check out this link for resources (Quick and Easy Guide to Multiply)

3. Train disciples using short videos. You can access the videos here.

4. Create a chat group for prayer updates (Messenger, Viber, WhatsApp, Etc.)

5. Create campaigns in Social Media to support government efforts in staying away from covid-19. How about using TikTok?

What else? There are more ideas out there! We simply have to know our target audience and how we can connect effectively with them.

Stay safe! Stay connected with one another! Above all, stay connected with the One who is in control of our situation.

How?

1. Create a group chat and post a video.

2. Post a video on FB Page or IG.

3. Post questions or comments that can be a “hook” or “starter” in your conversations.

4. Find connections from their comments to be able to transition to the gospel presentation.

5. Share/post links to the gospel.
