August 2010 Subscriber Letter

August 2010

Dear Reconciler Family,

As I mentioned in my last letter, a Grace Communion International Conference was held July 21-25 in Orlando, Florida.  The theme was Renewed in Christ.  It was well-attended with an estimated 1200 brethren from around the world.  Many of our Regional Directors shared highlights of God’s work and blessings in their part of the world.

Along with our own speakers we had several world-class Trinitarian Theologians share insights on God’s great love for each of us and his adoption and inclusiveness of us in His great plan of salvation.  It was a spiritual gourmet banquet.

There were a number of workshops, including such topics as:  Generations Ministries, Women in Leadership, Comeback Churches, Bible Study, Pastoral Counsel, and Reconciliation.  I covered Jesus’ Dream and Africa and the Bible.

We had an ORM table with our products and received a lot of visitors who gave us positive feedback, both on the presentations and our on-going work.  I received several requests for visits and presentations from both U.S. and international church leaders and lay members.

I’m personally amazed at how God continues to spread the message of reconciliation through us, and the number of people who say they are benefiting from it!  Praise God for His mighty miracles!

And as part of my family reunion in Atlanta, I had the opportunity to speak in Light of the World Church in Atlanta, pastored by my first cousin, Bishop Ruth Holmes.  There were about 900 in attendance.  I shared the gospel of reconciliation taken from II Corinthians 5:16-21.  There was much enthusiansm about the topic

Thank you for being part of what God is doing through His Ministry of Reconciliation.  Please remember to pray about the Dallas Reconciliation Conference coming up on August 7-8.

With deep gratitude,

Curtis May
