LETTER FROM OUR COORDINATOR, (3/17/20)
Dear friends,
As the global threat from COVID-19 spreads, MTW wants to assure our supporters, missionaries, and volunteers that we are carefully monitoring the progress of this virus so that we can respond appropriately.
We know the Lord is our strength and protector, our strong shield. We also know we live in a broken world, and that brokenness includes disease, danger, and even death. While we ought not be afraid, we do want to be prepared and wise, and thoughtfully protect our missionaries and volunteers, their families, teams, and those we serve. We also must be faithful to the One who has called us to serve and glorify Him both among the nations and in our neighborhoods.
MTW is not requiring missionaries to leave the field, nor are we requiring them stay. We are asking them, however, to monitor and follow the CDC’s travel recommendations and have offered counseling and guidance.
To do our part to avoid community spread of the virus, we have initially closed our Atlanta headquarters through the end of March. Our workers are telecommuting and remain available by phone and email.
We have also canceled mission and vision trips to countries that are experiencing Level 3 threats as listed on the CDC’s website. We are evaluating a number of other events, trips, and service opportunities in light of rapidly-changing local and governmental guidelines, and will be in touch with participants if cancellation is necessary.
In terms of the work done by our missionaries across the globe, it is important to consider that those whom we serve often don’t have the option of leaving their city or country to escape. Staying in an affected country can be interpreted as a demonstration of our commitment to them and the place we labor. Our missionaries must be wise and good stewards of themselves, their families, and their teammates, but they must balance that stewardship with their call to be faithful laborers.
What else are we doing? What else can we do? These are questions we’re asking ourselves every day, seeking the best information available and the counsel of God. One thing we know we can do is pray, and we ask you to continue to partner with us through prayer.
-
Pray for our missionaries who are on the front lines, ministering to the needy all over the world. Pray for strength and encouragement, protection from disease, for safety and wellness.
-
Pray for us at MTW to serve and respond wisely and well to our missionaries and staff around the world and at home.
-
Pray for those who are sick and dying, and for the healthcare workers who are risking their lives to minister to them.
-
Pray that the gospel would go forward and for God to draw many to Himself. There are many who are hurting, sick, or fearful, and we know only God can bring about true and lasting redemption.
Thank you for being such a vital part of the MTW family. We are praying for you and your families during this time as well, that you would know the presence and peace of God in the coming days, weeks, and months.
Sincerely, 
Lloyd Kim
P.S. Just a reminder that we will reach out to you if you are signed up for a trip, event, or service opportunity that has been canceled.
