Churches and chapels in Wales are right on the frontline in these days of the Coronavirus pandemic and never before in the last 100 years have their leaders faced such a huge challenge, the Revd. Dr Kang-San Tan, General Director of BMS World Mission, told an online meeting of the Gwent Baptist Association.
Many churches were helping to support their local communities by establishing or being involved in foodbanks, volunteering and generally befriending those in need but a bigger task still lay ahead, he said.
“We need to share our resources with the deprived and the poor at home and oversees. We are called by God to be salt and light in this troubled world and we will be accountable to God for our actions.
“We must go back to Scripture and renew our sense of God-centred mission in terms of providing practical, emotional and spiritual support to all we encounter who stand in need. But God has created new opportunities for us during these difficult days and we must seize upon them while relying, as always, upon His strength” he added.
