The coronavirus pandemic had a significant impact on the many churches who were looking to appoint a new pastor earlier this year. Yet in Jersey, there is a story of God’s provision at just the right time:
Quennevais Evangelical Church (QEC) called Leon Coates to be their pastor on 8 March. Leon was formerly Assistant Pastor at Dewsbury Evangelical Church in West Yorkshire, some 380 miles away, so a visit was arranged for the whole family.
They arrived on 12 March for the weekend but, having stayed a week longer to support the church, the UK then went into full lockdown.
