Covid-19 Update

Dear Friends,

Cleansing Stream International was birthed back in 1970 and for nearly 30 years we have served God’s people through many seasons and challenges. Covid-19 is another reason for us to lean into the Lord. The evolving Covid-19 pandemic continues to impact all of us, and we understand the uncertainty this causes for all of you as our partnering churches, participants and ministry team.

As partnering churches and Seminar leaders you play a critical role in the communities you serve, often providing care and leadership such as online classes. We believe connecting with you is one of our primary responsibilities.

At the time of this email, our office is open during limited hours and most of us are working from our homes, continuing to serve you. Along with you, the health and safety of our staff and their families is a top priority. We have taken proactive measures to protect our staff by implementing social distancing, work from home as much as possible and observing any local ordinances.

CSI’s goal is to become digitally available as ongoing funds become available through gifts and donations and purchase of software platforms. With that said, given the developing nature of this situation, we do anticipate the current pandemic conditions and potential economic issues that will follow may cause some significant disruptions to the ministry and our financial condition. However, we know the Lord will provide. With every challenge comes new opportunities to advance the Kingdom of God. We are making significant inroads in conducting a variety of meetings through Zoom. I personally conducted a mini event a couple of weekends ago with wonderful success. We are looking for ongoing creative ways to implement some of these new ideas into our future. You are never too old to learn!

As each of the states develop phases of reopening business while providing guidelines, we are subject to following the health orders from states, counties and city government. Therefore, CSI will remain fluid in ministry policies pertaining to onsite Events as they become available.

These are unprecedented times, but we remain confident in our Lord Jesus.  While the timing of nationwide grants and loans is unclear, what we can commit to is that we will pray, communicate and connect with you through social media, email and our website. In order to receive CSI communications as soon as they are available, please consider signing up for our emails or following us on Facebook.

Stay safe, healthy, and hopeful. Thank you for your support! We are keeping you in prayer. If you have any specific requests or needs please feel free to share them with us as one thing is true - No one can stop us from praying!

With sincere love,

Pastor Chris Hayward

President
