This past week, our dear partners in ministry in India were able to distribute food and basic medication to over 100 families along with 200 masks thanks to the generous support of our sponsors. 30 of these families have children sponsored in Children of the Kingdom, 20 of them have women who are a part of a sewing ministry we have partnered with over the years, and 50 families have children affected by HIV/AIDS who are in need of support.
As we mark the anniversary today of 9/11 and as we continue to grapple with the effect of COVID-19 worldwide, the ongoing exposure and cost of racism, and now with massive fires burning in the western US, it is clear that 2020 has put us in a state of emergency again and again. I offer you this prayer below as you hold all these things and look to God to be our unshakable hope in this time of great need. A Liturgy for Moments of Emergency: O God our Rock, hold us in this chaos. O Christ our King, calm us in this season. O Holy Spirit, intercede for us. Be merciful, most merciful God! O God our Rock, hold us in the chaos of this hard hour. O Christ our King, calm us in the storm of our distress. O Holy Spirit, intervene and intercede. We need you now, most merciful God. -Douglas McKelvey, Every Moment Holy
