Forgiveness and Reconciliation

"Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive" (Colossians 3:12-13)
We had a great worship experience yesterday. Our pastor preached a very helpful sermon about forgiveness, and invited us to respond in a specific way to address relationships that the Spirit brought to mind. We are grateful for God's forgiveness for us as well as the Spirit's power to help us forgive others. Forgiveness in and through Christ is one of the most important messages we can share with our families, friends, and acquaintances, both here and abroad. As we partner with the Spirit to share this message in Venezuela, Costa Rica, and the States, we thank you for your partnership with us through prayer support and financial giving. God is a good and forgiving God, and it is a joy and privilege to be partners and friends with good and forgiving brothers and sisters in Christ. Much Love, Dan and Nancy
