Dear Friends,

 

This current Covid-19 crisis is going to be around for a while. It will force us to make adaptations to our daily routine that we could have never imagined two months ago. It’s our prayer that pastors and

churches will be creative and flexible as you find new ways to minister to your community.

 

We at the TRBA will relay good information to you during the days and weeks ahead that we feel can be of benefit to our churches. If you find something that is effective as you minister to your community please send it to us and we’ll disseminate the information to other churches.

 

Please remember that the Lord can use troubling times for His glory. This crisis can cause our neighbors, friends and families to turn to Christ. We just need to be prepared to give a sure witness. Remember 1 Peter 3:15, "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear."
