SIMPLE WAYS TO HELP
OTHERS DURING THIS
PANDEMIC
• FEED THOSE IN NEED: SUPPORT A FOOD BANK

sterilized to the max, and there’s no way to transfer coronavirus through a blood transfusion.
Sickness and health have always been a part of the missionaries’ lives, as they have tried at all
times to prevent illness, to mitigate, or to eliminate it. Missionaries aren’t afraid to face illness
and put up efforts to overcome it, since they count on the unfailing help of God’s healing
Providence.
 DAVID David Livingstone, the Scottish explorer, abolitionist and
physician who is famous for being the first European to

LIVINGSTONE discover Victoria Falls, initially hoped to go to China as a

missionary. When the first Opium War broke out in
September 1839, his plans changed, and Livingstone
focused his ambitions on Africa instead.
David Livingstone moved to Africa in 1841 as a “medical
missionary”. However, he believed his spiritual calling lay
in exploration (with the aim of finding commercial trade
routes to displace those of the slave trade), rather than
preaching. Also, with only one convert – a tribal chief
named Sechele – Livingstone was a pretty terrible
missionary, and he eventually resigned from the London
Missionary Society.
 For all the men and women on the frontlines of COVID-19 both in the Philippines and across the
globe, we dedicate this simple of message of thanks to you.As challenging as our current situation

PRAY • 2020 is proving to be a year of pestilences, starting
with the Australian bush fires, then the deadly locust
invasion and now the Coronavirus pandemic rattling
people everywhere. The time to pray is now and we
need to get down on our knees and ask God for help
and protection from the deadly Coronavirus
outbreak.This is the best thing to do. We need to ask
God for mercy for He is merciful. We should have a
prayer life not only this pandemic but for the rest of our
lives. Let us pray for the world, the Philippines, our
government, our beloved front liners, those people
who are tested positive with Covid-19 and those people
who are so much in need right now. I know that we can
win this battle with God. Let us just put our trust in Him
and believe that this pandemic will be over soon.
