MINISTRY UPDATE FEBRUARY 2021

MINISTRY REPORT FROM JOHN

Happy new year! Despite the ongoing Covid19 challenges we hope the year has started well for you. Here at JCM we've had a relatively quiet start to the year with travel still drastically restricted. I have, however, had the opportunity to minister at some local churches in the past few weeks where it's been good to see Holy Spirit impacting people.

Here at JCM we are believing for a great 2021. Whatever is happening in the world Jesus will still build HIS church and His Kingdom will continue to advance. No doubt there will be many surprises, and even some shocks this year, but as we pursue HIM we know that we are empowered and equipped to overcome and live in victory. There is so much anxiety and confusion in the world, which means that the Church has an increasing opportunity to shine brightly, offering hope and peace through Jesus Christ.

Before Covid19 appeared early last year Father told me that 2020 would be a year of enlargement for us at JCM and in our Leaders Network movement. This is exactly what happened. The words I've received for 2021 are "Greater Things". This year we need to walk by faith in God, keep our focus on the Lord, know and speak HIS Word, and draw on the empowering of Holy Spirit. This is not a year to maintain or barely hold on. Believe this year that we will advance and increase!

We have received so many positive comments about my book A Funny Thing Happened. If you haven't secured your copy yet please visit johncairns.org where you can purchase the book in several formats.

Be encouraged this year to prioritize and pursue your relationship God, live to please Him, be bold and courageous knowing that HE is for you.

Blessings,

John

Family News!

We enjoyed spending time together as a family over the Christmas & New Year period. Praise God for the gift of family! John & Heather enjoyed a short break at the beginning of January & look forward to all God will do in 2021.

February - March 2021 Ministry Itinerary

Due to the travel restrictions and Government policies currently in place as a result of the Covid-19 crisis all "physical" ministry internationally remains cancelled. Limited "physical" ministry in Australia continues.

February 21: City Life Church, Manningham campus, Melbourne, VIC
March 7: Drouin Christian Fellowship, Drouin, VIC
March 13-14: Christian Fellowship Centre, Albury, NSW

The cancellation of public ministry obviously affects John's income but God has always been, and always will be, Jehovah Jireh our Provider. He is ever faithful.

Please visit the schedule tab on the JCM website to keep up to date with when John is ministering via Facebook live streams and pre-recorded sermons.

Partnership Opportunities

We are acutely aware that 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, medicines and so on. The virus has only worsened the dire situations they face. As mentioned previously, JCM has raised funds for essential needs, including food, school needs and medication, in 5 different countries since March. 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 needs please contact us at admin@johncairns.org. You can also check out our Gifts for Change brochure at our website www.johncairns.org
