From My Heart (Issue 66)

Dear Readers, My name is Delsey Garner, I am excited to present to you this edition of “MOMS” entitled, “COVID-19, CRISIS and CHANGE”. Because of COVID-19, families have lost jobs and experienced crisis like financial insufficiency and being isolated from our loved ones. Now we face changes to our everyday life. Changes like wearing a mask when we are outside, working from home and only being able to communicate with and see people through a chat room. It is said, “Change is constant” and we all know that change can be hard! I know how hard change can be. My husband and I spent the last 20 years in the states pastoring and raising our only child. Being a pastor’s wife and mother were normal for me. Then we responded to what we believe is God’s call for us to be missionaries here in Asia Pacific. Making that change was not easy, but we knew that the God whom we relied on in the U.S., is the same God who will help us in our new lives here and the adjustments we are faced with. I pray that during this change caused by COVID-19 that we will all find the strength and encouragement we need as we fix our eyes on Jesus, “the Author and the finisher of our faith”. (Hebrews 12:2) I am looking forward to hearing some great stories of what God has done for you and how this magazine has blessed you. Only by Grace, Delsey G. P.S. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Miss Evelyn Damian, MOMS former editor, who just retired. We appreciate all of her dedication and hard work while serving as editor.
