It is not a surprise that charitable organizations are feeling the pinch these days. Covid-19 has affected everyone and hit every church hard. Ministries that major in overseas relationships, ministries, projects, scholarships, and outreach such as Canadian Baptist Ministries, CBM, find this a challenging time.
Our local church is meeting its financial needs, thanks to the generosity of its membership. We will be up to date with our
giving to CBM by the end of the year. Still, I am sure many churches across our nation have
significant challenges. Some will find it difficult to contribute to CBM’s wide-spread ministries.
We are privileged to be believers in Canada. All Christians are to be committed to the Lord’s call:
make disciples of all nations. CBM enables us to achieve the prayer of Jesus in
John 17.
Therefore, I hope you will uphold Jennifer Lau in your family prayers and your church worship. Jennifer spoke at our church, and she is a great communicator. The CBM Board saw in her the qualities they wanted for the next General Secretary. She has a very demanding job, giving leadership for a church constituency composed of 1,200 congregations across ten provinces and two territories.
May the Lord give Jennifer courage,
patience, and much love for God’s people in our land.
“Lord, I lift up Jennifer Lau and her family to you. Give her wisdom as she and the CBM staff continue to partner with other Christians around the world. Thank you for the leadership gifts you gave to her through the Holy Spirit. The opportunities to proclaim Jesus Christ are so numerous! May she know how much time to spend in the office and how much time to be on the road. Give her joy in her role as General Secretary. May she have enough time with her family. May she spread the hope of the Gospel to many. May she stay faithful to the truths of the Scriptures, and may she be led every day by your Holy Spirit.”
