MY NEXT STEP:
□ I will pick up and read a Scripture Focus Card several times each day (Romans 15:13).
□ Make calls to people in your directory. Pray with them.
□ Look for needs around you and how you can glorify God in that situation. Share Christ with those around you who
may be anxious or in panic.
□ Download Rightnow media and use it to disciple your family. Share the sermon on Facebook and other social
media with those who need hope.
□ Spend time in prayer praying for our nations and those effected by the virus.
