Summary
Bill Gates will spend billions of dollars from his foundation to help find a vaccine for COVID-19. He will work with seven different makers of the most promising efforts by funding the construction of factories for them.
In other news, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, one of the largest church buildings in the world, will partner with Franklin Graham's ministry, Samaritan’s Purse, to set up a field hospital under its nave. Tents expected to hold at least two hundred patients will be set up inside the cathedral by the end of the week.
In fearful times and circumstances, the key to boldness for Christians is experiencing the transformational power of Christ. As the "light of the world" (Matthew 5:14), we are to reflect his light (John 9:5).
