by Samuel Won As I write this, I am receiving what seems like unending news updates on the devastation COVID-19 is causing all over the world, and especially in our very own region here in NY and NJ. Not only that, but I have begun to slowly hear more and more about how this virus is affecting my friends personally. Although by now it’s been said numerous times, it’s worth repeating that we are truly living in unprecedented times. Such times as these bring their own challenges and unique changes, most of which no one has navigated before. Thankfully, so many have risen up in this crisis such as medical workers, doctors, caretakers, and more. As well those who work long hours at grocery stores to pharmacies and other essential businesses. They are pillars in moments like this helping the rest of us through this time. Our deepest gratitude and respect goes out to them and their loved ones! Also we’ve been so blessed and encouraged by many of our friends and colleagues in ministry who have led courageously by taking advantage of technology and online streaming to serve their people. Keep going! We are rooting for you all. With that being said, as a ministry we have asked ourselves and the Lord as to ways we can better serve our region. It’s a question we’ve been wrestling with for weeks. Obviously we have canceled all monthly gatherings until further notice. Consequently, we had to postpone our annual conference that was scheduled for this summer as well. That was a tough decision, but the right one given the circumstances....
