Dear Presence Supporters,
Greetings to you and your family in the Lord! May Peace be with you!
We are very thankful that while facing the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, Presence is actually more closely connected with believers and the community. From early April until the present, we have been posting Scripture verses, videos, and blog articles on social media for soul care; and the series is named “Presence Cares Series.”
Presence is also providing free online ministry support to churches in SoCal, NorCal, and Hong Kong. Within the last two months, we have held over 10 Zoom sharing sessions on “Maintaining a Healthy Soul and Relationships in the Pandemic,” with a total of 712 attendees. In these 90-minute sessions, a devotional message is given, followed by a Q&A session related to topics like emotional or relational well-being, and parenting. Brothers and sisters have given us a lot of positive feedback. Here are a few of them:
● “Connected faith and life, very down-to-earth, very practical.”
● “Very good, thank you. (I have) Many years of pastoral experience, yet (I have) learned new concepts and skills.”
● “Very practical, and it has helped us reflect on our own life situation in our daily lives.”
● “Teacher, your teaching has given us a lot of reminders, encouragement, and a new angle to see… Brothers and sisters are still discussing about it today.”
We understand that this is a difficult time for many, and Presence’s financial situation is also unstable. In order for Presence to continue our mission of serving churches and families, your prayers and donations are very important to us! We sincerely invite you to partner with Presence to protect and guard our community and families! May God bless you and your family!
In Christ,
Agnes Ip
Presence Founder and CEO
