“These are the things you are to do: Speak the truth to each other
and render true and sound judgment in your courts; do not plot evil against each other,
and do not love to swear falsely. I hate all this,” declares the Lord…
Therefore love truth and peace.” 
Zechariah 8:16,19

Warm greetings!

Into Integrity Update
The Into Integrity FAST, involving 40 days of food fasting and hunger striking, featuring special podcasts and blogposts, was launched June through December 2019. We continue FAST via the ongoing call for the assistance and integrity of specific Christian organizations, leaders, and people affected by the international Nordic Capital investment KB (NCI) fraud: verifiably disclose via internal and independent reviews, make right the wrongful dismissals, and do what is “good, right, and true before the Lord your God" (2 Chronicles 31:20). 

We encourage you to: 
--Read the Into Integrity weblog entries to review why it is so important for the moral health and reputation of the Church-Mission Community to resolutely persevere in the FAST call.

--Listen to our podcast: Awaken the Good—Heal the Body: A Personal Exhortation for Specific Leaders (20 December 2019). We continue the ongoing efforts to call for and pray for repentance and healing in the international Church Mission Community. 

--Listen to our 
podcast: Confronting Corruption in Our Midst: Principles for Courage, Integrity and Action (12 December 2019). It is a reflection of this Updates message to "go boldly into the darkness as we live in integrity and unite for integrity."

Into Integrity

Thank you for your encouragement, support, and prayers. 


The purpose of Into Integrity 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 O’Donnell. It has featured a 40 day FAST (part one 6-26 June 2019 and part two 6-26 December 2019): 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. Global integrity is living consistently in moral wholeness at all levels--individual, interpersonal, institutional, and international--across sectors and settings, local through global, systemic and structural.

Shine the Light-Together!

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
