"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace . . .
whose mind is stayed on thee" Isaiah 26:3
Many of Converge Appointees, like you, have family, friends and neighbors who have the Coronavirus. They also have parents and siblings who are front line workers. Most are trying to find ways to minister while families are confronted with new challenges.
You may already know that several in our international missions family are grieving the loss of a close family member. We continue in prayer for wisdom. Lori's uncle passed away this morning; there is no visitation or meeting with family members. However, our God can minister from what seems a long distance . .
Our precious appointees are using this time to continue their preparation for ministry. While most work full time, meet with potential partners, and minister in their local churches, the Lord has given them a chance to catch-up. More than ever they are reaching out to each and every team partner sharing ministry and prayer concerns. God's plans are perfect!

We are thankful for each one of the 53 appointees we are coaching. Please pray for guidance as they work to finish courses, ministry plans, and creative ways to share God's calling in their lives with churches and other ministry partners.

We praise the Lord that as of this writing our family is well. We're in four different states, so, in different situations, but all in good health. We're sincerely praying for you, and, would love to know if you have specific requests. Thank you for your partnership.
John and Lori
