Pray and
Support China Coronavirus Relief Fund
Since
the outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease in Wuhan, China, over 70,000 people
have contracted the disease and more than a thousand people have died. Many provinces in China are short of medical
protection supplies and sanitizers. In
response to World Vision’s call for help to support the relief effort in China,
FECA is mobilizing all member churches to collect a special love offering on
three consecutive Sundays (2/23, 3/1, and 3/8).
FECA will coordinate and distribute the collected funds through World
Vision to the most needed areas. Please
pray for the victims and survivors, relief and medical workers, as well as
government agencies that are providing different services. Let us show God’s love and give
generously. Please write a check payable
to your church, and indicate on the memo line: “Coronavirus Response”.
