Help for families during the Covid-19 crisis

Focus on the Family is here to help you and your loved ones

A Message from Focus on the Family Africa CEO, Graeme Schnell

This is an uncertain moment for our nation, and indeed our world, as we collectively respond to this new coronavirus and its growing spread around the globe.

As I met with the Focus on the Family Africa team this week at our staff devotion, I shared that the scripture: 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” has been at the forefront of my mind. Fear is a tool of the enemy.  Although we should be prudent in our precautions to protect our families, panic has no place in the life of a believer.

Marriage During the Coronavirus Crisis

A crisis situation can bring you and your spouse together — or it can create stress and drive a wedge between you. Strained finances, a lack of intimacy, and tense communication may be some of the challenges you face while you’re homebound. But the messiness of this moment can be the perfect season to serve your spouse and show him or her how much you cherish them.

Parenting During the Coronavirus Crisis

These are unprecedented times — schedules are suddenly wide open and home, school, and work are jumbled up like never before. What an opportunity to learn, play, and grow with your children! They’re watching you and need you now more than ever. This topsy-turvy time can be a gift. Make the most of it by connecting with your kids in new, meaningful ways.

Faith

Outside there may be upheaval. But you can have peace and hope because God is near. Open God’s Word together and let biblical truth bring contagious calm to your household. May it start conversations that uplift you and your loved ones and strengthen your faith, so you can encourage friends and neighbors around you. What will God do in your family during this time?

Pro Life

A pro-life worldview isn’t obsolete during times of crisis. In fact, the early Christian church was known for running INTO dangerous situations to help the sick, while the rest of the world was hurrying away. While we protect and look after our own families, let’s continue to care for the vulnerable and display a faith in God that’s more powerful than any virus.
