Thank you for being a part of Refreshing Hope Ministries. Like everyone else, we have been monitoring the Corona Virus (COVID-19) outbreak and praying about it. As of today, many church services and public gatherings are being canceled around the world. It is a difficult time for many, and fear is on the rise on a global scale. While it is important to take reasonable precautions, both for ourselves and our communities, as Christians, there is no need to live in fear.
For those who are choosing or required to avoid public gatherings, we wanted to remind you that RHM offers live online church services each Sunday morning at 10am EDT. You can join us from wherever you are as long as you have an internet connection. You can fellowship and pray with other believers from around the world from the safety of your own home. If you sign in, you can join in our little family and be a part of a live church service from anywhere. We have all original music, study the Bible, and pray together as a part of the body of Jesus Christ. We are truly here for such a time as this, and I have a word for you this week on "Pestilence":
Pestilence: Strongs Hebrew 1822 / Greek 3369: disease, plague, pestilence, a pandemic occurrence of sickness that causes widespread death, often with the associative meaning of judgment from God (Ex 5:3; 9:3, 15; Lev 26:25; Nu 14:12; Dt 28:21; 2Sa 24:13, 15; 1Ki 8:37; 1Ch 21:12, 14; 2Ch 6:28; 7:13; 20:9; Ps 78:50; 91:3, 6; Jer 14:12; 21:6, 7, 9; 24:10; 27:8, 13; 28:8; 29:17, 18; 32:24, 36; 34:17; 38:2; 42:17, 22; 44:13; Eze 5:12, 17; 6:11, 12; 7:15; 12:16; 14:19, 21; 28:23; 33:27; 38:22; Hos 13:14; Am 4:10; Hab 3:5+).
Pestilence is one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse mentioned in the book of Revelation (Revelation 6:8). Fast spreading sicknesses that grow increasingly more deadly, but there is hope. God’s people do not have to live scared of what may happen for He is more than able to protect you through it, but you need to stay close to Him. The plagues on the Israelites started on the outskirts of the camp, those who were farthest from the Lord (Numbers 11:1). So walk close. Live your life ready to die with no regrets. Abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

Thank the Pastor. I am praying. I went shopping yesterday and the shelves were empty. I am not afraid, I am in the hands of the Lord.
Amen!
I trust God's plan in all this. Same thing going on here with shortages at the grocery store. I know we will get throught this, Amen.
Prayers that they find a cure for this soon
Pastor Dion's goal has been bringing church services to people all over the world who are unable to attend in person for whatever reason. It has been a blessing for many of us. But, now our church mission takes on a whole new level.
I hope everyone can see that God makes His own choices. The Bible says all through it that our days are numbered. Daniel 2:44 says that God will set up a kingdom that will never be distroyed. Others may teach the end of the world, but I can tell everyone that will not happen. We do not have to live in fear!
Praise God, the Great Physician, who has each of us believers under His wing. Like the lamb's blood on the door posts in Egypt, the Lamb's Blood will protect us from this virus!
HE IS HERE HALLELUJAH
