© The Stauros Foundation (known as Stauros) is a Scottish Charity, SC014253
While the coronavirus pandemic has had a widespread impact on our world, our
country and even our ministry, it is good to give thanks to God for His
continued goodness to us in so many ways. Like a lot of ministries and churches
we have had to think on our feet and find ways of being creative in continuing
to minister the Gospel to the folk we work with. Our staff continue to be busy
on a daily basis offering a range of different ways of support and pastoral care,
Facetime, phone calls, texts and one-to-one visits with social distancing, there
are quite a few people coming to our centre at Straidhavern for help and
support. (More people presenting with mental health issues over last few
months)
We have also had to change the venues of some of our Stauros meetings from
people’s homes to public places. Also, all our staff from England, Scotland, IOM,
USA and Northern Ireland are able to meet every Monday morning for staff
devotions and check in, plus the first Wednesday night of each month we meet
through Zoom for prayer. (Zoom has really been a God send, at first, I
personally found it a bit awkward and uncomfortable, (still do) but the more I
use it the less uncomfortable I feel.) I suppose that’s one of the many changes I
have had to get used to.
As you can see a lot is going on, and we are so thankful to God in His provision
that has allowed us to continue to fulfil our ministry through these difficult
days ‘He is still the same yesterday, today and forever’. I would like to take this
opportunity personally and on behalf of all at Stauros to thank you all for your
continued prayers and financial support in partnering with Stauros over many
years and especially through these difficult days. Be assured of our prayers for
you all through these uncertain times, and may your heart be encouraged as
you continue to put your faith in God.
Yours in Christ
