**Missionary Minute**
The Bankstons in New Zealand have a very similar story to our church. Our church had to make the hard decision to cancel our Missions Conference Weekend a couple of weeks before it was scheduled to happen. The Bankstons had to do the same, yet theirs was canceled just ONE day before it was supposed to take place! We know how much of a disappointment that surely was, but praise God that the Bankstons have been able to do a lot of online ministry! During their very strict lockdown, they have been sharing their new “home church” service online, as well as holding Bible studies and ministering one-on-one to others online. Guy Bankston has also had the opportunity to meet with a few folks struggling with depression – this is certainly a challenging time for all and even more so for many.
How amazing is it to know that missionaries we support are not only ministering around the world but holding their own missions conference as well?! And although events have been canceled, we can be thankful for all the extra ministry that is occurring online. We may never fully know the reach and impact that sharing the Gospel more intensely online will have…until we get to Heaven, that is. Oh, what a glorious day that will be!
