Right as everything started happening our board met as a team. A decision was made to care for our partners around the globe. We quickly called our church partners and talked with them about what their needs were as the pandemic started.
Most of our partners were doing ok, but had to change all their ministry options. From tutoring kids over zoom to drive through communions, we heard some of the amazing ways the church continued to operate despite not being able to gather.
One location that really struggled was Peru. Our sister organization in Peru saw a lot of trouble with not only the disease but complete shutdown of the economy. People were struggling to get basic necessities or pay their bills. Between a number of faithful donors, our board, and our partner Mission Connect we were able to help sustain the ministry (and local churches they work with) throughout the pandemic. Praise God for His provision for our partners amidst the pandemic!
