Ministry updates and churches in transition
BC & YUKON DISTRICT OF THE PENTECOSTAL ASSEMBLIES OF CANADA
2020
MARCH EDITION
Mark Lewis | Assistant District Superintendent for Revitalization I’m sure this past week for all of us has been stressful and confusing as we deal with these unprecedented health issues. Each passing day finds families waiting eagerly on the arrival of every news report and update, each one compounding in a sense of concern, confusion and uncertainty.
cancellations, emergency video recordings, attempts at live streaming and a sudden need to advance our Facebook skills; all have moved us forward. Thanks to all of this technology, churches all over the BCYD are able to share hope, encouragement and the love of Jesus.
And throughout all of this, the church is resilient with last minute service
What a great opportunity we have to remind our church families that God is
our refuge, strength and an ever-present help in times of trouble. And here at your District Office we want to make sure you feel equipped, encouraged and have every possible tool available for you to continue being a light in the darkness. Within this Network News magazine you will find steps to start online giving, video recording, streaming options and a variety of suggestions to keep your church family >> CONT. PAGE TWO

that you are praying for them and are willing to help them in any way you can. And as simple as it sounds, be friendly and courteous to your neighbours and encourage your church family to do the same.
Just because we are not gathering together on Sundays does not mean we cannot celebrate and care for our people, I want to remind all of our pastors and ministry leaders to continue your care to those who are elderly, ill or unable to get around easily. Give some special thought to those who are not connected to social media with a visit or a phone call.
All of us will have to go the extra mile during these extreme times but that is what it means to be Christ-like in a world surrounded by confusion and fear. I hope you can take comfort in all of these resources and encourage an unending faith in the God who provides and protects.
Make sure to update your website with easy to understand information on what your church is doing and what help you are providing.
“I have told you all these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
Remain in contact with those within your church that may be quarantined, isolated or unwell. Extend to them a reassurance
Pat & Les Markham | District Prayer Ministry Coordinators 1. PRAY – Prayer is our first defense, not our last resort.
It’s amazing that something so small that can’t even be seen by the human eye can grind the world to a halt; but God is bigger than a virus. How could we not be aware of recent events that are gripping our world? The state of the world fills the evening news, whether it’s the continuing war in the Middle East, the locust plague sweeping across Africa, or now – the COVID-19 pandemic. A national politician recently said, “The world economy is shrinking, planes are parked, cars are parked. We can expect this for the foreseeable future.”
2. LOVE – Our love will show as we serve others and help those who are distressed and afflicted.
3. SHARE – Our message of hope is that Jesus cares and God is a “very present help in the time of trouble.”
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
Fear has gripped the world as things seem to be swirling out of control; but we, as believers, should not be taken by surprise. The Bible has predicted that such things will happen with ever-increasing momentum as the Day of the Lord approaches. We, God’s people, should not be overcome with fear but rather look with hope and anticipation to our future in God. We are not overwhelmed by anxiety; we are faced with opportunities to:

Len DenBraber | Assistant District Superintendent for Multiplication Two sentences have been repeated over and over these last few weeks: “We are exercising an abundance of caution” and “This is an unprecedented situation.” Indeed, schools have been closed, international travel restricted, and entire cities have been quarantined. “Social distancing” has become part of our vocabulary, handwashing has almost become ritualized and the children who will inevitably be born 9 months from now have already been dubbed “coronials.” I pray that this global pandemic is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for all of us!
Koinonia When I was pastoring a local church, I knew that people valued good preaching and vibrant worship but that the thing that kept them truly engaged was koinonia – the unique, Spirit-filled sense of love and community that exists in vibrant churches. Koinonia was what they loved most about their church, and it was the glue that held people together in relationship, even when they were absent due to holidays, sickness or work (or the preaching wasn’t great, the worship was awkward, or the politics were active).
Our health authorities have also mandated one measure that makes good sense but was not anticipated by most of us: the restriction of public gatherings of over 50 people1 which, of course, has massive implications on how churches “do” church. This edition of the Network News is dedicated to providing practical help to pastors who need to pivot FAST by providing online experiences, electronic giving and even virtual pastoral care to their congregations; but I want to explore what “church” is without a building and, now, without a gathering.
Koinonia is a work of the Spirit, but it is nurtured by personal connection – not corporate gathering. In these uncertain days where we are avoiding physical contact you can still encourage people to foster deep personal connections by arranging electronic meetups, by creating a system whereby your care team is actively checking in with seniors over the phone and by ramping up your direct contacts via FaceTime, text and email. In a season where social isolation is a real concern, the church has an opportunity to be more connected, not less.
We have said for a long time that the church is not defined by a building but almost every church gathers in a place, whether a home, a theatre, a school gymnasium or a dedicated church building. And where you gather says something about your gathering.
Prayer I hope our first response as followers of Jesus is to go to the Father in prayer when we face trials of any kind. I have no doubt the people in our churches are praying, but we have always been a movement that has encouraged corporate prayer.
But now that we can’t even congregate, what does that say about “the church”? And more important, what defines your church? If it’s just your Sunday gathering, then it’s time to rethink what you’re all about!
While we can’t meet in large numbers, why not host a prayer meeting on Facebook Live and have your spouse, a volunteer 4
or a staff member moderate the comments during the prayer meeting? Sharing prayer requests through your email list, social media or on the phone keeps people personally connected. Facebook and Google offer free video conferencing solutions, or you can use a platform like Zoom to pray with people when you can’t be with them personally.
history: Christians started hospitals as a response to plagues and pandemics; schools were founded in response to the suffering of illiterate populations; orphanages are still created to care for abandoned children; and to this day, the church leads the way in battling human trafficking and modern slavery. Historically, the church has cared for those society cast away, ignored, or marginalized in the most challenging times.
This just might be the catalyst for reigniting corporate prayer in our churches!
This pandemic is a great time for the church to respond to the practical needs of those who are forced to (or choose to) socially isolate themselves. I know of individuals who are offering to grocery shop for house-bound people who can’t or won’t go out. You can contact your municipal, provincial or federal governments and offer your empty building to be used if hospitals are overwhelmed. You could set up a group online whereby people can share resources (i.e. toilet paper!) instead of hoarding supplies.
Mission I think this is a brilliant time for the church to BE the church. Now is the time for your church to counter all the negative and fear-based messaging with the Gospel message of hope, the promise of enduring peace and the powerful reminder that our eternal safety is found in relationship with Jesus. Instead of sharing the latest conspiracy theory circulating on Facebook, encourage the people in your church to embark on a campaign of encouragement through social media. Use online platforms to share helpful resources and link to community information pages. Encourage the church to send messages of thanks to politicians, medical professionals, first responders and community leaders always reminding them that the they have the ongoing prayers of your #church behind them.
Look around you: there are needs your church can meet without having to gather on Sunday. I’ve already said it, but this is the time for the church to shine! And this is the time for you to reconsider what “church” is all about. Perhaps the benefit of this crisis will be that the church will learn to love its community and love our God with similar fervour. The next time we can gather in person will be all the sweeter for our forced absence, but I pray that our going will become even more intentional.
Above all, find ways to stay on mission and be missional as a church community – it may just become your new normal!

1.
Make a phone call. Encourage your congregation to call 3-5 people per day to check-in and ask how they can pray with them, or divide and conquer the list with your leadership team. While younger adults may prefer texts or social media interaction, older adults often prefer to speak with someone directly. This is a great way to care for people in a time of social distancing.
2.
Create a closed Facebook group. This will help to create a private and safer space for people to share prayer requests, photos and encouragement with one another.
3.
Send group emails. This is a great way to share information, send encouragement and include those who don’t use social media.
4.
Create watch parties. Encourage your church to have a “watch party” where everyone watches the same message at the same time. Take it up a notch and create a hashtag or private group where photos can be shared of each other’s parties.
5.
6.
7.
1.
Create “I’m Here to Help” cards. Print out cards (or email a PDF that individuals can cut out), have people write their name and phone number and then drop it off to their neighbour’s mailboxes. If neighbours need help with groceries, meal delivery or have another need, they know who to call! Question of the day. A Facebook friend daily posts a “Question of the Day” on his wall. None of the questions are profound, but they’re meant to spark interaction. If you try something like this, make sure to keep the questions on the lighter side.**
2.
Share new and current worship music. Encourage your church to share what they’re currently listening to. Many new Christian albums and singles continue to be released regularly so people may just find a new favourite song.
3.
Share testimonies. Use email or your social media to share testimonies - this is not only an excellent way to remember and recognize the move of God in someone’s life but it can also be a powerful way to grow closer to God and one another.
4.
Share encouragement through scripture. Turn to the next page for some examples.
5.
Help small groups stay together. Encourage small group leaders to host meet-ups virtually and to watch Sunday messages and prepare discussion questions.
1.
Video your memory verse and actions. Upload videos to your Facebook, Instagram, YouTube or Vimeo page for families to follow along.
2.
Create a Pinterest page. Use this to include parenting and family resources, discipleship tools and fun craft and snack ideas.
3.
Challenge kids (with parent’s help) to send in their videos of them reciting the Bible verse and actions. Create a private Facebook group where they can see each other’s videos. Make it fun and create challenges - give them incentive with special draws and recognition.
4.
Create Sunday activities and stories to involve kids with the pastor’s message. With so many families watching church online at home together this is a great time to include them. Provide families and kids with an activity, story, bible verse and discussion questions that tie in with the Sunday sermon or online message.
5.
Mail a special Easter box. Social distancing can make everyone feel like they’re very far away. Mail each child a special package with fun worksheets, colouring pages, a special note (their name and a generic message printed on fun paper is an easy way to personalize a message) and a small pocket-sized toy (if budget allows). Make the envelope colourful and fun with stickers or coloured tape. This can help them still feel connected and remembered. Plus, it’s always fun to receive special mail!
Support your local food bank. Many school closures impact children and families who depend on lunch programs. One idea: partner with your local food bank to explore food drop-offs in the form of a drive thru.*
Share favourite Christian podcasts and online sermons. In the world of the internet there is an abundance of excellent listening available. Encourage and challenge your congregation to share their most spiritually developmental podcasts within the group. 11

1.
Stay sharp. This is an excellent time to read leadership books, revisit training manuals and watch training videos. Make the most of your time.
2.
Create 6-month and 12-month plans. Ask your group what they want to lean and how they want to grow. Then prepare accordingly.
3.
Equip, empower and release leaders. You don’t have to do everything alone. With so much virtual ministry that can now be done from home, divide and conquer. Allow trusted leaders to oversee prayer ministry, social media and email communications, You can also have other pastors share online messages and pastoral care.
1.
Network with other BCYD pastors and church leaders. You don’t have to feel alone because right now we’re all in this and figuring it out together. Follow other church pages and pastors on social media to see what they’re doing. If you’re not very technical or creative don’t feel like you have to suddenly start - lots of other people are and have already been sharing some incredible ideas online. Learn from your peers and be there for one another. Pastor, not everyone will understand or know your burdens and obligations during this challenging time, but there are many other pastors in our district who do. Find a complete listing of BCYD churches on our website and connect with other pastors and churches.
1.
Let people know what actions your church is taking. Don’t assume people know your strategic plan without having a good communication strategy. The more they know, the more they’ll be able to remain connected.
2.
Allow your staff to work from home. With all of the technology available right now, many tasks can be done from home right now. Printing is often the exception, but with no people around there’s not much to print right now anyways, so no problem there. Schedule a weekly team meeting to check-in and connect. But, don’t check-in too often and micromanage them. Trust them with what you’ve hired them to do.
3.
home. Creating an agenda before each meeting will help keep good organization, flow and will help moderate speaking. 4.
Follow and direct people to official websites and reputable news sources. Refer to government websites for the most up-to-date information, guidance and regulations. Stay away from American or other international news providers as different countries have different recommendations and regulation. Obtain your information from Canadian Government and Provincial Government websites.
5.
Update your church website. Create a landing page, if possible (the first page to open when someone clicks on your church website), which will make it easier for people to learn what you’re doing, how they can connect/watch online and online giving options. Update service/gathering time information and keep everything current. A personal note or video from the pastor may also be a great introduction to this new time of virtual church.
1.
Explain to kids what’s happening. This can be a very scary time for them and they may not understand what’s going on. Be developmentally appropriate - do your best to answer questions honestly, but be careful to not share too much information so that they don’t feel overwhelmed. Reassure them, let them know what your family is doing to stay safe and keep communication open.
2.
Go outside. It’s amazing what a little fresh air can do. If you can’t leave the house then open the blinds and windows. Even just going for a walk and letting the little ones run around can help settle everyone down and get some energy out. A short break from the news may also help to clear and ease the mind...
3.
Make the most of your time together. Enjoy this time at home. Turn off the TV when you eat meals, play games together, take up new hobbies, have family movie nights with special snacks and phone or FaceTime with family members.

We are pleased to announce that Summit’s School of Graduate Studies now offers its first Master of Arts degree program! This ABHE-accredited degree MA in Youth Ministry is led by Dr. Andrew Evans. Students can apply to the program now and the first courses will take place in Fall 2020. Dr. Evans says: “We are very excited about this new degree
program! An important trend in youth ministry today is the need for interdisciplinary training for professional youth workers. They need to be trained in team leadership, conflict management, parent ministry, mental health issues, theology, adolescent development, administration, and organizational leadership. This highlights the need for training youth workers, as well as the need for significant support in their roles. This degree is unique because it focuses on practical training in ministry with a significant focus on spiritual formation and allows for flexibility between theology and non-profit organizational leadership. Students who graduate with this MA in Youth Ministry will have studied with some of the top youth ministry minds in North America and will develop a significant ministry project that will immediately impact their current context of ministry.”
The program is targeted toward pastors who are working in a significant ministry role (part-time or full-time). Approximately half of the courses are taught by youth ministry specialists at the Coalition for Youth Ministry Excellence (www.coalitionforministry.com) with which Summit has partnered. Please learn more about the MA in Youth Ministry program at www.grad.summitpacific.ca/youth-ministry or contact us at gradstudies@summitpacific.ca. The School of Graduate Studies also offers two Graduate Certificate programs: Studies in Pentecostal Theology Not for Profit Organizational Leadership All courses are available individually for pastors, lay ministers and church attendees for credit or audit.
