Pastors Emergency Fund (Covid-19)
While the impact of Covid-19 on physical and mental health, income and finances has created hardship around the world, some members of the global Christian family are suffering right now more than others.
The Covid-19 pandemic has shut down churches, and in the impoverished Global South that means pastors -indeed front-line spiritual workers – who rely solely on church offerings to feed their families and put a roof over their heads, are without income. Often, they also struggle with regional conflicts, persecution and lack of medical systems or government support.
This is a crises moment! The time to act is now. Here at WEA, we’ve set aside much of our work to focus on helping pastors. This emergency fund is designed to help bridge pastors over a 6-month period, to help them survive until they can once again meet together with their congregations.
Here are the stories of just three evangelical pastors who are currently in Covid-19 lockdown, their churches are closed, they’re cut off from their congregations and they have little to no food or medical care. They are our brothers and sisters. And they need our prayer and financial support.
