Message from Dr Hugh Osgood to all CiC Ministers

Dear All CiC Ministers,

Whether we are leading ministries, churches, chaplaincies or networks, the current coronavirus crisis is presenting us with some interesting challenges. Obviously we want to stand together and encourage one another as we follow the government guidelines. 

I was delighted that one African Head of State commended Philippians 4:6-8 to his nation. We too can hold onto these exhortations as we stand firm in faith and maintain a heavenly perspective. 

At the end of his letter Paul thanks the Philippians for caring for him, politely acknowledging that they no doubt always did care but lacked opportunity. Right now we have the opportunity to work with others to show care right across our communities. Let us rise to this challenge, demonstrating how the grace of the Lord Jesus, the love of  the Father and the power of the Holy Spirit can carry us through.   

Standing with you in the fulness of the Lord's unwavering love and blessing,

Yours,

Hugh Osgood

President of CiC
