Mais um ciclo se encerra

A comemoração de Ano Novo se aproxima! Apesar de termos tido um ano muito desafiador, é quase uma unanimidade que piscamos e chegamos em dezembro… Finalmente! De uma forma muito singular, o mês de dezembro tem o poder de trazer esperança por dias melhores, por mudanças radicais na forma de agir e de pensar. Há muitos, inclusive, que se fiam na esperança de que à meia-noite do dia 01/01/2021, a COVID-19 terá acabado, as mortes decorrentes dessa doença não mais ocorrerão e que o ano de 2020 será nada além do que um passado que se tornará cada vez mais distante.

Este sentimento é bastante curioso, especialmente quando levamos em consideração que, cientificamente falando, a celebração de um novo ano é apenas o fim da volta da terra ao redor do Sol. Sendo assim, por que nos enchemos de esperança com este fenômeno?

A razão é simples: o nosso Deus também é um Deus de ciclos. Desde a criação, vemos que há ciclos com início, meio e fim, desde a forma como a natureza se comporta até a maneira como vivemos. Ao longo do Pentateuco, vemos que Deus ordenou ao povo hebreu que fossem celebrados determinados eventos como memorial para o povo, e dentre essas comemorações Ele estabeleceu o Ano Novo Judaico.

Neste dia, o povo apresentava ofertas ao Senhor, confessava seus pecados e agradecia pelas benesses recebidas. Esta era a forma de mostrar que um ano tinha chegado ao fim e que um novo período se iniciava. Enquanto seres humanos, é importante encerrarmos “formalmente” um ciclo para que possamos iniciar outro. Essa reflexão é indispensável para que possamos examinar a nossa conduta e procurar pontos de melhoria. Quando encerramos um ciclo para dar início a um novo, também encontramos forças e novas ideias para a nova etapa que virá.

Com isso em mente, sabemos que começaremos 2021 com um mundo mais digital e mais fragilizado pelas consequências terríveis que a pandemia deixará. E nós, enquanto Igreja, precisamos estar preparados para acolher e guiar as pessoas que, em grande parte, continuam começando novos ciclos, ano após ano, sem focar naquilo que realmente importa. É nossa missão mostrar que mesmo com todos os ciclos se iniciando e se encerrando nesta terra, cada ser humano tem a oportunidade de escolher um ciclo que um dia não terá fim: uma eternidade com Deus ou uma eternidade sem Ele.

Agradecemos ao Senhor pelo que Ele fez em nossas vidas e na Igreja em 2020, mesmo com a pandemia. Nossa oração por cada parceiro é que Deus renove as suas forças para que, em 2021, possamos impactar ainda mais pessoas com o Evangelho, trazendo pessoas a um verdadeiro relacionamento com Cristo, seja por meio das conexões digitais, ou através da nossa rede de pastores, igrejas e organizações genuinamente comprometidas com a missão de levar o Evangelho.

Feliz Ano Novo!

Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user’s device. Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improve the user experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests.

We may use different types of cookies on our website: persistent cookies; session cookies; and third-party cookies. (Please refer to your browser’s Help section for further information on controlling and setting cookies).

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some of CV products or services as effectively as they were intended.

Disclosure of Data

CV never shares your personal information with third parties (save as set out below), unless it is required to fulfil a contractual product or service or is a legal or regulatory requirement. In most cases you will be notified and will have the option to opt out of the product or service prior to having your personal information shared.

In order to fulfil the ministry and organisational purposes for which you provided us your personal information, it may be shared with our employees (including those in our subsidiaries), affiliates and ministry partners, and other parties who require such information to assist us with establishing, maintaining and managing our relationship with you and providing ministry products and services you request.

This may include:

  • CV Offices – Currently in North America, Latin America, the Commonwealth of Independent States, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
  • Partner Churches – To handle responses, we cooperate with local churches. We process the data you submit via our contact forms on our servers in North America to be able to forward it to a church near you.
  • Overseas Recipients – CV may disclose personal information to outsourced information technology service providers, including cloud computing providers and data storage providers, based overseas.
  • Online Advertising – CV may promote our ministry activities and resources by purchasing advertising space on third-party websites. Tracking data collected by these third-party companies is used to decide which advertisements you see on third-party websites and applications, but does not identify you personally.
  • Other Platforms or Services – Some CV products and services may be integrated with external services, including social media networks. This may mean that information, for instance about your interests and activities, is tracked or pulled from other places (such as Facebook). CV may also use analytics tools and services (such as Google Analytics) to track your usage of CV products and services.

As result of the above, your personal information may transit through or be collected, used, processed, stored or disclosed in both the United Kingdom and other countries, including countries outside of the European Union, under the control of CV or one of our affiliated organisations or ministry partners. Where your personal information is provided to ministry partners or service providers, we take steps to safeguard your personal information and use confidentiality agreements that restrict the use of your information to the purpose for which it is provided.

Please note that we may collect, use or disclose your personal information without your knowledge or consent where we are permitted or required by applicable law or regulatory requirements to do so.

Retaining Data

We retain personal information for as long as we reasonably require it for legal or business purposes. Please refer to our data retention policy for more detail. In determining data retention periods, CV takes into consideration local laws, contractual obligations, and the expectations and requirements of groupings of individuals based on the nature of their relationship with CV. When no longer required, personal information is destroyed in a secure manner or deleted. We also take steps to ensure that the personal information we collect is accurate, up-to-date and complete. These steps include maintaining and updating personal information when we are advised by individuals that their personal information has changed.

Security and Protection

We take reasonable steps to protect all personal information which we process from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or unauthorised disclosure. We are committed to ensuring that your information is secure and take reasonable steps (suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures) to hold personal information securely in electronic or physical form and try to prevent unauthorised access. These steps include the use of Internet Encryption Software, Secure Socket Layer (SSL) Protocol when collecting or transferring sensitive data, password protection for electronic files, securing paper files in locked cabinets and physical access restrictions. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our sites; any transmission is at your own risk.

Where We Store Data

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the United States. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the United States who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff maybe engaged in, among other things, the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

Links to Other Websites

Our products may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third party link, you will be directed to that third party’s site. CV has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party sites or services. Your ability to opt-out of a third party tool or platform will depend on the conditions governing your agreement with that third party. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

You may not access any of our interactive services or share your personal information with us, unless you are 16 years of age. In some circumstances, the service we offer may enable you to provide the consent of a person with parental responsibility for you. CV will make reasonable efforts to verify in such cases that consent is given or authorised by the holder of parental responsibility over a child, taking into consideration available technology.

All communications with respect to such withdrawal or variation of consent must be in writing, and it may take us up to 30 days to process your withdrawal of consent. When contacting us about your personal information, we may request specific information from you to confirm your identity and right to access, as well as to search for and provide you with the personal information that we hold about you. Your rights to personal information that we hold about you is not absolute. There may be instances where applicable law or regulatory requirements allow or require us to refuse to provide some or all of the personal information that we hold about you. In addition, the personal information may have been destroyed, erased or made anonymous in accordance with our record retention obligations and practices. In the event that we cannot provide you with access to your personal information, we will inform you of the reasons why, subject to any legal or regulatory restrictions.
