Dear Reconciler Family
I hope your summer is going well because it’s almost gone! My family and I had a chance to get a little R & R in Atlanta, Georgia, for a family reunion. We managed to assemble around 90 members of our family for our annual get-together. Our family has a strong bond rooted in the Christian faith. So we all feel renewed and rejuvenated when the reunion is over. We also feel exhausted from all the late nights.
As you notice in the greeting of this letter, I consider you as part of one big family—God’s family. I pray for you and I know many of you pray for me and the reconciliation work that we’re all doing together. And through your prayers and moral support I feel renewed and rejuvenated. I think it can help us appreciate how God is pleased and excited when His family throughout the whole earth comes together in harmony, love and peace. Indeed that is His wish! His great desire! His goal (John 17:20-22)! It strengthens the gospel message.
While in Atlanta I had the opportunity to speak in a congregation that was holding an “International Day.” I shared with them the “Amazing Grace” trip to England through a PowerPoint presentation. The response was great and the food was wonderful! Also, my wife, her sister and I were invited by Dr. Alveda King (niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.) to lunch for a time of sharing ideas on our ministries. She expressed strong interest in the work of ORM. We will see what may develop from it. Her focus is also on unity and family.
At a recent conference in Palm Springs one guest speaker, Dr. Ruth Tucker, mentioned that she uses our flagship video, Reconciliation—A Move of God, in her classes and presentations.
She said she uses it for discussion sessions. We were very pleased to hear how our work is witnessing to others.Well, this is long enough. Please stand with us in prayer as Malcolm Graham and I travel to Pietermaritzburg, South Africa next week for an African Enterprise International Partnership Board Conference. Please continue to remember us financially as we seek to advance the gospel.
Love and blessings,
Curtis May
