I hope you are doing well as we continue to progress through this amazing season.
Many countries are still battling major outbreaks of the virus but here in Australia we are blessed with incredibly low case numbers, which has meant that most restrictions have been lifted. Overseas travel is still not happening, but we have been able to travel interstate.
It's been great over the past couple of months to be back to ministering in person with churches, as well as continuing to hold conferences and meetings online. Praise God for people saved and healed, as well as a flow of prophetic ministry along with many responding positively to the Word. Jesus is still building HIS Church!!
If you are a disciple of Jesus Christ you can live with hope and an unshakeable confidence. Romans 8:37 tells us that whatever is happening "in all these things we are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ who loved us". We may be having a challenging time, we may not understand all that is happening to us, or around us but - we are not alone. The Lord is with us. He wants to comfort us, encourage us, strengthen us, and empower us. 1 Corinthians 15:57 reminds us to "Give thanks to God for he gives us the victory". However it may look in the natural, He gives us victory. Don't focus on the challenges, choose to focus on Jesus today. Spend time talking with Him, reading His Word. Renew your mind with His promises. The more you do this the more you will be able to live with an unshakeable confidence in Him.
We continue to receive 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 blessed and be a blessing everywhere you go.
Best wishes,
John
Family News!
We all enjoyed spending Easter together this year after being in 'lockdown' in Easter 2020.

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
