Due to the rapid onset of COVID-19 faith-based organizations are behind on resources and time to strategically plan for the weeks and months ahead.
Planning for tough issues like cash flow, employee layoffs, and how and when to make appropriate insurance claims is rarely made in advance under calmer circumstances.
