The Christ Alive Church International (CACI) staff is actively monitoring the COVID-19 Coronavirus developments as it relates to the health and well-being of our members and community, and continuing close communication with local health and government authorities.

Our Staff and Ministry Leaders:

Our highest priority continues to be the spiritual and physical health and safety of our guests, staff, church members, volunteers and associates, locally and globally.

Our staff has been advised on proper Ministry of Health recommended protocols and the importance of ensuring all common preventative precautions, such as disinfecting commonly touched items, washing hands for a minimum of 20 seconds with soap and water, and staying home if you feel ill.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

CACI will continue to heed the counsel of public health authorities and take appropriate steps to ensure the health and safety of the community. If you are sick with COVID-19 or suspect you are infected, with the virus that causes COVID-19, follow the steps below to help prevent the disease from spreading.

STEP 1: Stay home except to get medical care

You should restrict activities outside your home, except for getting medical care. Do not go to work, school, or public areas. Avoid using public transportation, ride-sharing, or taxis.

STEP 2: Separate yourself from other people and animals in your home

PEOPLE: As much as possible, you should stay in a specific room and away from other people in your home. Also, you should use a separate bathroom, if available.

ANIMALS: Do not handle pets or other animals while sick. See COVID-19 and Animals for more information.

STEP 3: Seek medical care right away: Call ahead before visiting your doctor

Call your healthcare provider and tell them that you have or may have COVID-19. This will help the healthcare provider’s office take steps to keep other people from getting infected or exposed.

STEP 4: Wear a Face Mask

You should wear a face mask when you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) or pets and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. These steps will help the healthcare provider’s office to keep other people in the office or waiting room from getting infected or exposed. If you are not able to wear a face mask (for example, because it causes trouble breathing), then people who live with you should not stay in the same room with you, or they should wear a face mask if they enter your room.

STEP 5: Cover your coughs and sneezes

Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw used tissues in a lined trash can; immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol, covering all surfaces of your hands and rubbing them together until they feel dry.

STEP 6: Avoid sharing personal household items

You should not share dishes, drinking glasses, cups, eating utensils, towels, or bedding with other people or pets in your home. After using these items, they should be washed thoroughly with soap and water.

STEP 7: Clean your hands often

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol, covering all surfaces of your hands and rubbing them together until they feel dry. Soap and water should be used preferentially if hands are visibly dirty. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

STEP 8: Clean all “high-touch” surfaces every day

High-touch surfaces include counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, and bedside tables. Also, clean any surfaces that may have blood, stool, or body fluids on them. Use a household cleaning spray or wipe, according to the label instructions.

Other Actions to Consider:

Ask your healthcare provider to call the local or any national health department. Persons who are placed under active monitoring or facilitated self-monitoring should follow instructions provided by the local health department or occupational health professionals, as appropriate. If you have a medical emergency and need to call 909, notify the dispatch personnel that you have, or are being evaluated for COVID-19. If possible, put on a facemask before emergency medical services arrive.

ADHERE TO THESE PREVENTIVE MEASURES TOO:

SPECIAL PRAYER TO GET YOU THROUGH THIS PERIOD

As a child of God, you need to know that divine health is your inheritance. Also, be aware that by all means, the enemy wants you to be afraid in this time of the COVID-19 outbreak. Below is a prayer and scriptures for your daily use to boost your faith.

PRAYER TO GOD TO STOP CORONAVIRUS

Father God, we come to You to stand in the gap before You for the land, that it not be destroyed, but be filled with Your glory. Now is the set time for the greater works, so we pray You will stretch forth Your hand to heal the land. We repent on behalf of all nations that have turned their backs and their ways against You. Be merciful to our unrighteousness, and remember our sins and iniquities no more. Be gracious to us, and turn the curse into a blessing that You may be glorified, and Your labourers may bring in Your harvest. Lord, we put You in remembrance of Your delegated authority to the Church to bind and loose. We bind satan, the spirit of fear, and this coronavirus in the Name of Jesus. No man shall eat the fruit of thee hereafter for ever. We loose every person infected by this virus and release healing virtue to stop this plague. Father God, our President’s and political leaders’ hearts are in your hand. Direct every decision to be consistent with Your divine will. Give them the wisdom to bring stability to our times. We look to You alone to bring salvation to all of mankind. In Jesus’ Name, amen.
