We love helping others and believe that’s one of the reasons we are chosen as Ambassadors of the Kingdom, to serve God’s children. We look to the Greatest Commandment as our Powering force.
Graham explained that people are stunned by the recent turn of events and they’re drawing towards Jesus Christ for discernment.
“I think there’s nothing normal about 2020,” Graham said. “We’ve never gone through a pandemic in my lifetime. The world has never been locked down before. It’s God who touches people’s hearts and opens up people’s eyes. The pandemic hasn’t stopped it. If anything, it’s advanced it.”
This pandemic has had many side effects, but it is also an opportunity for followers of Jesus Christ to share the reason for the hope that lies w/in us. His peace, strength, & love can see people through every storm of life—even a global pandemic.
