COVID-19

Throughout history, there have been a series of deadly plagues and viruses that spread across Earth. However,Ā nothing in recent history has produced the same level of a global pandemic as COVID-19.Ā In this time of chaos, there areĀ new media announcementsĀ every hour about the latest information. Doctor’s are interviewed to enlighten the public about the virus. With a world of an unending flow of opinions and misinformation. This chaos has caused people to jump to conclusions and run out the door toĀ buy all toilet paper.Ā Ā Ā 

Toilet paper and hand sanitizer are marked up and cities are shut down. There is this combination of disorder and nothingness as we sit at home quarantined. Nations, governments, schools,Ā etc. haveĀ closedĀ their bordersĀ to theĀ public and encouraged people toĀ stay away from each other. To most people, this is the most catastrophic thing that has happenedĀ this decade.Ā To others, this is an opportunity to rise up and have faith that goes beyond the tangible world.Ā 

The History of the Church

Historically, when there have been difficult times Christians wereĀ usually the ones that rose up and looked beyond the future. Something inside of Christians becomes excited about not spreading a virus, but the good news of Jesus Christ.Ā 

Some examples of Christians doing this are Martin Luther KingĀ and the history of hospitals.Ā While his people were beingĀ persecuted, he rose up and created a movement. Hospitals did not exist until the Christian period, in whichĀ Christians gathered the sick and injured during times of war and trauma.Ā Ā 

Every generation hasĀ experiencedĀ a time of being quarantined;Ā whether it is in prison, in a hospital or even in their homes. However, what comes from a time of beingĀ isolatedĀ is how our faith truly shines. Taking a look at the history of the Church, it is evident that in believers the power of God gets sparked when chaos strikes.Ā  Believers have this deep burning passion that wants to rise up and be the voice of reason. Christians see these times, not as a catastrophic event but as a catapulting opportunity to spread the love of God. Ā 

As Covid-19 keeps spreading and more of us are encouraged to be quarantined, we have created 6 ways as believers to come together and allow these times to encourage us, believers, to rise up.

6 Ways to come TogetherĀ 

 

  1. Pray about how God can use you in theseĀ times.
    Ā 
  2. Be the leader that callsĀ or textsĀ your friends and students toĀ pourĀ intoĀ them.
    Ā 
  3. Post and Preach – Share the gospel on your digital platforms and be the voice of your people.
    Ā 
  4. Digitally evangelize – pray over your followers onĀ Instagram,Ā DM some of them and ask how you can pray for them, start a gospel conversation digitally.Ā Ā 
    Ā 
  5. Stay connected ā€“ stay in tune with your local churchā€™s digital resources or find out how you can help them.
    Ā 
  6. Webinars ā€“ Dare 2 Share is doing a webinar on April 2ndĀ to encourage leaders across America to not become apathetic in this time of nothingness,Ā butĀ to useĀ it by beingĀ set on fire and putĀ intoĀ action by God!Ā Ā 

Webinars are perfect for staying at home! This webinar willĀ give the church a chance to come together in a time of need. Ā ThisĀ eventĀ will changeĀ your perspective on how toĀ disciple in disorderĀ and will leave you feeling empowered to help your students change the world, even from home.Ā
