Comfort, comfort my people, says your God….Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain
and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. (Isaiah
40:1,4)
Dear people of God,
We write as leaders of diverse churches in South Africa in the midst of the Coronavirus attack on
our homes; on the lives and livelihoods of our people; and on the production systems of our
economy. We write to say, God is with us even in these times of perplexing national pain. “When
you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will
not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not
set you ablaze”, says the Lord (Isaiah 43:2). Indeed we write this general pastoral letter to the
People and Government of South Africa.
