January 2010
Dear Reconciler Family,
Wow! It’s 2010! And as we launch into our 15th year of serving God in Reconciliation Ministry, I would like to congratulate you and thank you for answering the call to help. You have been and continue to be a vital part of it, and I thank God for you and want you to know that you are making a difference in the lives of others.
Listen to the responses of some whose lives have been touched and changed by your support:
“Thank you for the newsletter update. It ministered to my spirit. Recently I, being a black man, recognized my prejudice, and having my own business had to ask forgiveness for my racism. Your ministry has given me hope, eased my anger and has identified racism and prejudice on a spiritual level. God bless you and your family and your ministry.”
Michael Bradford
“We received the fall issues of Reconcile, and the article that I submitted from our Common Ground Group presentation was well received, exciting and encouraging to all who have read it so far. My focus with our group training was ‘The Power of Intentionality,’ and Bernadette (our group presenter) says that she sees God in it!”

“I want to commend you on the fine work you have done since the inception of this ministry. You have continued to allow God to direct you and inspire you and the fruits are evident. ORM continues to expand its positive influence around the globe.
Enclosed is our Missions gift of… for 2009. It isn’t much but hopefully placed with other gifts it will help make a difference. May God richly bless you and your small staff.”

Recently my wife, Jannice, and I attended the wedding of a friend. The officiating pastor took a somewhat different approach and
began to tell the story of a man who wrote a letter to his son saying how he felt about him. He complimented him on his good qualities, his value as a person and things that he loved and liked about him. He mentioned the obvious impact that it had on him.
I did the same for our two children which they deeply appreciated. And I wanted all of you to know how much you mean to the Ministry of Reconciliation and most of all to God who gave it to us.
God bless you as we take on the challenges and costs of another year of life-changing and exciting ministry!
In His service,
Curtis May
Director, ORM
