July 2009 Subscriber Letter

July 2009

Dear Reconciler Family,

As we march rapidly through 2009 we seem as busy as ever.  God is opening doors of opportunity in a number of places, and as we walk through them, often on faith, He continues to bless our efforts.  One recent door was a mentoring and training session on Reconciliation and Conflict Resolution in Newark, New Jersey.  We established a chapter there in September 2008 with Jesse Vereen as the new chapter leader.  He has strong local church support from not only the pastor but the lay members as well.  Their heavy involvement in the local community, which is quite diverse, opens unique possibilities of service for the Ministry of Reconciliation.

Reconcile newsletter Consulting Editor Roger Lippross and I were treated to a breakfast meeting by Beaumont, CA Police Chief Frank Coe and Sgt. Sean Thuilliez to get better acquainted and discuss the possibility of partnering in future events.  We shared in their 9^th Annual Faith and Justice Summit on May 19 where I was a keynote speaker and workshop presenter.

Some other great news that we’re excited about is our 10^th anniversary issue of Reconcile newsletter.  It’s read around the world.  If you’re not a regular subscriber be sure to request your free subscription and read all about some of our major events and achievements.

A special thanks to Editor Neil Earle, Art Director Mike Riley, Consulting Editor Roger Lippross, secretary Susan Earle and proofreader Michael Morrison.  And thanks to all of you who helped make it possible.  Thank you for your continuing prayerful support.

God bless you all,

Curtis May
