MINISTRY UPDATE AUGUST 2021


MINISTRY REPORT FROM JOHN

Hi everyone.

I trust you are doing well as we continue to journey through these amazing times.

I am in regular contact with many pastors and leaders around the world. Several are not only dealing with Covid-19 but also facing huge problems regarding other health issues, food shortages, floods, and drought. We receive numerous requests every day for financial assistance. The needs are huge, but God is still in control.

Circumstances are weighing heavily upon people. But those who love and serve God can be confident that He is with us and for us. We can put our hope in Him. Romans 15:13 says, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of Holy Spirit you may abound in hope." That word abound means to be great in amount, to be plentiful. We can have a plentiful, overwhelming hope. Not a 'fingers crossed' kind of hope but a confident expectation in who God is and what He has promised. A hope that is certain and assured because our hope is not in what may or may not happen, but in the faithfulness of God. He is utterly dependable and eternally unchangeable. 

God is with us and for us and Isaiah 41:13 tells us that He is the one who helps us. The Bible challenges us to be anxious for nothing. We can 'throw' our anxieties on the Lord. 1 Peter 5:7 tells us to cast all our anxieties on Him because He cares for us. He is in control. As we place all our cares and anxieties on Him His immeasurable grace strengthens us. Our hope remains in God. 

Praying you experience HIS peace and joy as you keep your focus on HIM and His Word.

Blessings, John

Partnership Opportunities


We remain acutely aware that so many people in so many of the countries we are privileged to work in continue to face the daily crisis of not having basic items like food, water and medicines. The virus has only worsened the dire situations they face. Over the past 12 months JCM has raised funds for essential needs, including food, school needs and medication, in 5 different countries. Current photos of our aid work are regularly posted on the JCM Facebook page so be sure to check them out.

If you would like to help us meet some of these ongoing needs please contact us at admin@johncairns.org. You can also check out our Gifts for Change brochure at our website www.johncairns.org

There are so many ways you can partner with us here at John Cairns Ministries. Please see below just one of the practical ways you can support the work we are doing.
