We have just done the fifth podcast in Part Two of the Into Integrity FAST (see purpose statement at end). The theme is You can access the podcast HERE. You can read the transcript HERE.
We call upon people and specific leaders in
particular to take note of their responsibility to do good and to help bring
healing in the protracted NCI fraud and the related wrongful dismissals. We
also share five key messages from PETRA People postings. They provide
principles and guidance for good practice in confronting corruption and acting
with integrity.
1. Looking Good versus Doing Good
2. Good Principles and Good Practices
3. Tricks for Feigning Good Practice
4. Rationalizing Our Responsibilities
5. Awakening the Good in You
We're Praying
Our prayer is that these materials, will help awaken the good in you, and help you bring healing to the Body of Christ and your own organizations. And we pray for courage, conviction, contrition, and change—Spirit-birthed, authentic repentance:
Our prayer is that these materials, will help awaken the good in you, and help you bring healing to the Body of Christ and your own organizations. And we pray for courage, conviction, contrition, and change—Spirit-birthed, authentic repentance:
First, to acknowledge—I was wrong, I am responsible
Second, to apologize—I am sorry, I ask forgiveness
Third, to amend—I will change, I will restore

See the related PETRA People posting on “Lessons for Leaders” (23 July 2015). It features eight principles for dealing with mistakes and wrongdoing in organizations.

The Into Integrity FAST is part of the larger, international effort to confront corruption:
“Corruption begets more corruption and fosters a corrosive culture of impunity.” Every year $1 trillion is paid in bribes while an estimated $2.6 trillion are stolen annually through corruption – a sum equivalent to more than 5 per cent of the global GDP…. “I call on leaders everywhere to listen, to nurture a culture of integrity and to empower citizens to do their part at the grass roots.” (quotes from UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and International Anti-corruption Day)
You Are Invited
Join together with us and people around the world during Part Two of the Into Integrity FAST (6-26 December 2019). Specifically, please join with us in fasting and/or prayer on either or both of these two important days:--9 December 2019: International Anti-Corruption Day. Uniting to raise awareness of corruption, including preventing and combating it. We are also emphasizing integrity at all levels, individual through international.
--20 December 2019: International Human Solidarity Day. Uniting to promote wellbeing for all, including eradicating poverty in all its forms. We are also emphasizing moral health at all levels, individual through international.
Join together in solidarity!
We encourage you to focus (fasting and/or praying) on an area of integrity/moral health that is important for you. And of course focus on the specific NCI fraud and dismissals that continue to be publicly challenged over the past 12 years. You are welcome to contact us and share what you are doing.

Don’t be intimidated. Eventually everything is going to be out in the open, and everyone will know how things really are. So don’t hesitate to go public now. Don’t be bluffed into silence by the threats of bullies. There’s nothing they can do to your soul, your core being. Save your fear for God, who holds your entire life—body and soul—in his hands." Matthew 10: 26-28, The Message

The purpose of the Into Integrity FAST is to call attention to--and confront--the lack of disclosures by specific organizations/leaders/people affected by the international Nordic Capital Investment KB fraud (NCI) as well as the related, wrongful dismissals directed at Kelly and Michèle. Join with us in FAsting for genuine contrition and STriking for resolute action within the Church Mission Community (CMC).

Integrity is moral wholeness—living consistently in moral wholeness. Corruption is moral rottenness, the opposite of integrity--the distortion, perversion, and deterioration of moral goodness, resulting in the exploitation of people.
