UPDATE FROM MISSIO

 April 8, 2020
Greetings!
 
Amid the consternation of the coronavirus, let’s not forget that this is the week of Easter (12 April). This is a day on the church calendar for rejoicing and hope. It is the supreme reminder that death and sin have been vanquished in the resurrection of Jesus and that hope reigns. It is a reminder that even though we are separated from one another due to social distancing, nothing is “able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom 8:39).

Easter Prayer:
Almighty God, who for our redemption gave your only begotten Son to the death of the cross, and by his glorious resurrection delivered us from the power of our enemy: grant us to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his resurrection; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.  


May God continue to bless you,

Frank A. James III, DPhil, PhD
President, Missio Seminary
